This is a temporary LinkeX catalogue


we are in the process of producing an
updated version.
If you would like to receive a copy
when they are ready. Either write
to me Ann Marsh (Mrs) at the above
address, or telephone and ask for
extension 3507. If you are on our
mailing list you will automatically
receive a copy.
The high voltage cable dimensions
and electrical characteristics in this
publication are based on lEe 502,
although this information is not
obsolete our current manufacturing
design is based on B.S. 6622, and we
are still issuing this catalogue as a
reference until the new version is
available.
If you have any queries regarding this
catalogue, telephone our engineers on
the above number. They will be pleased
to discuss them with you.

Specification

6.35/11

kV LinkeX Cable to IEC 502-1

Conductors
are plam annealed
copper or aluminium cornplvinq
with 85.6360.
Conductor screening IS a layer of
extruded
semi-conducting
compound having a nominal thickness
of 07 mm.
Insulation consists of cross-linked
polyethylene which is applied by
extrusion
to form a compact
homogeneous layer. The average
thickness of the insulation is not
less than 34 mm.
Core. Screen consists of a layer of
semi-conducting
compound,
a
semi-conducting tape and a metallic
layer. The metallic part will be plain
copper wires plus a counter helix of
plain copper tape for single-core
cable and plain copper tape only for
multi-core cable.
laying-Up
The screened cores of
multi-core cables are laid up with
suitable fillers to form a compact
circular assembly. A suitable binder
IS applied over the laid up cores.
Bedding consists of an extruded
layer of black PVC compound complvmq with the requirements of
Type 9 to 85.6746.
Armour
Multi-core
cables are
armoured With galvanised steel
wires.
These give the cable
strength and also act as a low resistance earth return conductor. While
single-core cables are not normally
armoured, non-magnetic armour of
ah.rrunturn wire or strip is available if
requested.
Oversheath
consists
of an
extruded layer of black PVC compound complying with the requirements of Type 9 to 85.6746.

Bending Radii During installation,


LinkeX cables should not be bent to
a radius smaller than that given In
the appropriate table.
Dimensions and Weights given In
the tables on Pages 17-20 are
approximate.
Other Constructions
It is possible
to supply cables with constructions
other
than mentioned
above,
Indeed minor changes may be
made at any time enabling us to
maintain an economically
priced
cable, as the relative material prices
vary.
Sustained Current Ratings (50 Hz
A.C.)
Current ratings are given for the
three customary methods of installation: laid direct In ground, In ducts
or In air.
Generally, the current rating will be
reduced if there IS a variation from
the Standard conditions. The rating
for most conditions can be calculated by rnultiplvmq the sustained
current rating by the factor(s) given
In the appropriate
adjustment
tablets) on Pages 26-29.
Standard Conditions
The following conditions have been
used to calculate the current ratings
given in the tables:
Thermal resistivity
of soil (g).
12C mM/
Standard ground
temperature
15'C
Ambient air
temperature

Maximum
conductor
temperature"
= 90'C
Depth of burial, from ground surface to centre of cable, centre of
duct or to centre of trefoil group of
cables or ducts
= OS m

Bonding Screens will normally be


earthed at the terminations.
Overload Conditions
Cross-linked polyethylene cables
can, without
undue detriment.
safely operate at an Increased conductor temperature of 130'C subjeer to a maximum aggregate period
of 36 hours per annum.
The permissible
current
rating
under overload conditions IS given
by multiplying the sustained current
rating by the factor given In the
appropriate adjustment table on
Pages 26-29.
Short-Circuit

Current

Ratings

In addition to the normal sustained


current ratings, consideration must
also be given to short-Circuit ratings
when selecting cable sizes. Ratings
for given durations are listed In the
tables on Pages 17-20.
Note: The following formula can be
used to obtain the value of shortcircuit current, I, in kA for any time
t secs, between
0.2 and 3.0

Specification

19/33

kV LinkeX Cable to IEC 502-1

Conductors
are plain annealed
copper or alur-uruurn cornplvinq
with 8S.6360.
Conductor screening IS a layer of
extruded semi-conducting
compound having a nominal thickness
of 07 mm.
Insulation consists of cross-linked
polyethylene which is applied by
extrusion
to form a compact
homogeneous layer. The average
thickness of the insulation is not
less than 80 mm.

Bending Radii During Installation,


lInkeX cables should not be bent to
a radius smaller than that given In
the appropriate table.
Dimensions and Weights given in
the tables on Pages 22-25 are
approximate.
Other Constructions
It is possible
to supply cables with constructions
other
than mentioned
above,
Indeed minor changes may be
made at any time enabling us to
maintain an economically
priced
cable. as the relative material prices
vary.

Core Screen consists of a layer of


extruded semi-conducting
compound, a semi-conducting tape and
a metallic layer. The metallic part
will be plain copper wires plus a
counter helix of plain copper tape
for single-core
cable and plain
copper tape only for multi-core
cable.

Sustained Current Ratings (50 Hz


A.C.)
Current ratings are given for the
three customary methods of installation: laid direct In ground. in ducts
or in air.

Laying-Up The screened cores of


multi-core cables are laid up with
SUitable fillers to form a compact
Circular assembly. A suitable binder
IS applied over the laid up cores.

Generally. the current rating will be


reduced if there is a variation from
the Standard conditions. The rating
for most conditions can' be calculated by multiplying the sustained
current rating by the factor(s) given
In the appropriate
adjustment
table(s) on Pages 26-29.

Bedding consists of an extruded


layer of black PVC compound cornplvmq with the requirements of
Type 9 to 8S.6746.
Armour
Multi-core
cables are
armoured with galvanised steel
wires.
These give the cable
strength and also act as a low resistance earth return conductor. While
single-core cables are not normally
armoured, non-magnetic armour of
aluminium wire or strip is available if
requested.
Oversheath
consists
of an
extruded layer of black PVC compound complying with the requirements of Type 9 to 8S.6746.

Standard Conditions
The following conditions have been
used to calculate the current ratings
given in the tables:
Thermal resistivity
of soil (g)'2C mM!
Standard ground
temperature
15C
Ambient air
temperature
= 25'C
Maximum
conductor
temperature= 90C
Depth of burial, from ground surface to centre of cable. centre of
duct or to centre of trefoil group of
cables or ducts
= 08 m

Bonding Screens will normally be


earthed at the terminations.
Overload Conditions
Cross-linked polyethylene cables
can, Without undue detriment.
safely operate at an Increased conductor temperature of 130C subject to a maximum aggregate period
of 36 hours per annum.
The perrnissrble
current
rating
under overload conditions IS given
by rnultiplvmq the sustained current
rating by the factor given In the
appropriate adjustment table on
Pages 26-29.
Short-Circuit

Current

Ratings

In addition to the normal sustained


current ratings. consideration must
also be given to short-circuit ratings
when selecting cable sizes. Ratings
for given durations are listed in the
tables on Pages 22-25.

The melting, heating, burning or
welding of cables can give rise to
certain health and safety risks. During cable jointrnq and terminating, or
in the disposal of cable scraps, all
reasonable care should be taken to
