Apart from the standard PE outer sheath the following optional finishing can be produced by Prysmian Cables and Systems B.V. as well: - LSOH outer sheath; - PVC outer sheath. Some of the abovementioned finishings may also be combined, e.g.: Steel tape armour with a lead alloy sheath. If you have specific wishes concerning cable constructions and/or test regimes, please do not hesitate to contact us.
The conductor sizes mentioned in the tables are commonly used types. The maximum conductor size per material and type is as follows:
Solid Stranded Milliken Copper - 800 2500 Aluminium 1600 1600 2500
Please note that the requirements of the NEN 3620 are more severe and the test program is extended to include more tests than listed in IEC 60502-2.
Routine tests
The minimum conductor size per type and voltage class is as follows:
10kV and 15kV Solid Stranded 20kV Solid Stranded 30kV Solid Stranded Milliken Copper - 35 Copper - 35 Copper - 95 1000 Aluminium 25 95 Aluminium 50 95 Aluminium 150 95 1600
Besides offering special arrangements in accordance with customer requirements, each cable length is subjected to a final routine testing procedure based on NEN3620 before release, consisting of: - Measurement of the electrical resistance of the conductor; - High voltage test; - Partial discharge test. Insulation quality and life expectancy of a cable are related to the magnitude of partial discharges that might occur in a cable. The reliability of measuring results for these partial discharges greatly depends on the noise level caused by the surrounding environment. The discharge detection limit is improved by using an electromagnetically shielded room (Faradays-cage) for the execution of the partial discharge test.
Sample tests
- Large conductor cross-sections up to and including 2500mm2 copper or aluminium Milliken constructions; - Oxidized wires for copper conductors; - Large solid round aluminium conductors up to and including 1600mm2; - Enamelled wires for copper conductors.

Cyclic loading
Where loading is cyclic, appreciable increase in current capacities may be justified. Please refer to IEC Publication 60853 for calculation of the cyclic ratings.
Characteristics
Electrical properties
The electrical properties and continuous current ratings apply to single core, three core, unarmoured and armoured cables where applicable, with the mentioned copper wire screen surface area. The total surface area of the copper wires screen may be adjusted to fit the required single phase short-circuit rating.
Impedances, such as positive and negative sequence impedances and zero sequence impedance are strongly depending on laying configuration, metallic sheath bonding and other conductive elements parallel to the cable route. The mentioned impedances are therefore indicative only and should be calculated per situation and confirmed by measurements after circuit completion.
23
NPR3626
A separate group of three single core cables may be continuously loaded in accordance with the appropriate tables if the following assumptions are fulfilled. Assumptions: Ratings apply to three-phase group(s) of single or three core cables ; Maximum permissible temperature of the inner conductor during continuous use: 90oC; Ambient air temperature: 30oC; Ground temperature: 15oC; Depth of laying of cables: 1.0 m; Soil thermal resistivity (wet): 0.75 K.m/W*; Soil thermal resistivity (dry): 2.5 K.m/W*; Soil dry-out temperature: 30oC* Soil dry-out accounted for*; Cables in air: naturally ventilated and protected from solar radiation; Current ratings are based on solid bonded and single bonded metallic sheaths where applicable; Correction factors for other installations are given in the appropriate tables. A temporary overload of the conductor to a maximum temperature of 105oC is allowable, but should be evaluated for each individual case.
* In underground installations, if a cable in the ground is continuously operated at this highest rated conductor temperature, the thermal resistivity of the soil surrounding the cable may in the course of time increase from its original value as result of the drying-out processes. The mentioned current ratings in accordance with NPR3626 take this effect into account. However, if this effect does not occur, these values should not be used. Instead, the mentioned current ratings in accordance with IEC60502-2 should be used.
24
Voltages
Rated Voltage
The voltage which forms the basis for certain operating characteristics and test conditions is called the rated voltage and is denoted Uo/U where: Uo = the rated r.m.s. power frequency voltage between each conductor and sheath or sheath for which cables and accessories are designed; U = the rated r.m.s. power frequency voltage between any two conductors for which cables and accessories are designed. Operating voltage Um = the maximum r.m.s. power frequency voltage between any two conductors for which cables and accessories are designed; Um is the highest voltage that can be sustained under normal operating conditions at any time and at any point in a system (temporary voltage variations due to fault conditions excluded). Relationship between Uo/U and Um in three phase systems are prescribed in IEC standard 60183 and USA standard C-84.
Standards
The cables described in this catalogue are standard designs, and their performance has been proven in operation. Construction and tests are in accordance with NEN publications where applicable.

Maximum recommended tensile forces when a pulling eye is attached to the conductor: Alu stranded: F = A x 30 N/mm2 Alu solid: F = A x 20 N/mm2 Cu stranded: F = A x 50 N/mm2; Maximum recommended tensile force when a pulling eye is attached to the armouring wires: steel wires: F = A x 150 N/mm2 Where A is the cross sectional area of the conductor or armouring in mm2. Minimum permissible cable temperature during laying: With PVC outer sheath: - 5 C With PE outer sheath: -10 C At lower temperature the cables must be adequately warmed up before installation. This may be achieved by storing the cables in a heated room for at least 24h or by means of special equipment.
Sheath marking
Our standard embossed or surface printed outer sheath marking on round cables consists of: Name of manufacturer; Type designation, cross-sectional area of conductor, rated voltage and year of manufacture; Continuous length marking every meter or every few feet. Example: YMeKrvasdlwd 6/10kV 1x400 2010 134m
Resistances
Direct current resistance
The maximum DC resistance values of conductors at 20oC are in the relevant tables. The DC resistance at other conductor temperatures may be calculated using the equation:
R = R20 [1+ 20 (T-20 C)]
R = DC resistance at temperature t, /km R20 = DC resistance of cond. at 20 C, /km T = temperature of conductor, C 20 = temperature coefficient of the resistance at 20 C, 1/ C for copper: 20 = 0.00393 for aluminium: 20 = 0.00403
Laying information
During laying of energy cables, particular attention must be paid to the permissible tensile force: Permissible tensile forces when pulling by cable pulling grip for single core and three core plastic cables with copper or aluminium conductors up to and including 18/30kV cables: F = 3 x D2 in Newtons; Permissible tensile forces when pulling by cable pulling grip for three core plastic cables with copper or aluminium conductors and steel armouring wires up to and including 18/30kV cables: F = 8 x D2 in Newtons; Where D is the cable outer diameter expressed in mm
Effective resistance
The effective resistance (= alternating current resistance) consists of the DC resistance and the extra resistance, which takes into account additional losses caused by the current displacement in the conductor (skin effect and proximity effect). In the tables the given effective resistance of the conductors at maximum conductor temperature, is based on the following assumptions: Frequency 50 Hz; Solid bonded circuit;
26
Inductance
The inductances can be calculated for the various laying configurations with the following equation:
X L= 2f
L = inductance, mH/km X = reactance, ohm/km f = system frequency, Hz
The dynamic stresses depend on the maximum asymmetric short-circuit current and the thermal stresses depend on the mean short-circuit current.
Dynamic stresses
In general, cables and their accessories will withstand the dynamic stresses under shortcircuit conductions without problems, but near power stations it is important to take the dynamic short-circuit current capacity into consideration and to pay attention to the method of installation.
Thermal stresses
In the previous tables, the mentioned maximum permissible short circuit currents are applicable for a short circuit duration of one second.The values are based on the following assumptions: Before short circuit the temperature of conductors = max. permissible temperature of conductor in continuous use (i.e.: 90oC) Max. permissible temperature of conductor in short circuit is 250oC for XLPE insulated cables, for the metallic sheath is 210oC. The permissible short-circuit current for durations of 0.2 to 5 seconds may be calculated by multiplying the max. permissible short-circuit current for one second by a value of 1/t, where t is the new short-circuit duration in seconds.
