Comparison of Main Properties


Between PVC and XLPE Insulation

Insulation is made of plastics material; they are divided into two groups depending on how they react to heat.
Thermoplastics can be repeatedly softened by heating and hardened by cooling. When you heat thermoplastics
like PVC, the molecules do not chemically bond with each other. Instead, thermoplastic chains are held together by
weak attractions between molecules.
When heated, these chains slip off from each other and the material melts.
On the other hand, in case of thermosetting plastics, the cross-links or chemical bonds between molecular chains
prevent displacement at elevated temperature. Thus thermosetting plastics do not become soft or change their
shape on heating. Thermosetting plastics harden permanently once it is moulded and cured. XLPE is polyethylene
with their molecular chain cross-linked.
The network structure of the molecular chains cannot deform and the excellent properties that polyethylene has at
room temperature are retained at elevated temperature. The cross-linking of the molecules also has the effect of
enhancing room temperature properties.

3. Halogen Free & Emission of Corrosive Gas


Halogen containing plastic material release substance like hydrogen chloride, a poisonous gas that form hydrochloride acid
when it comes in contact with moisture. It causes fatality and hinder the operation of fire fighting. Furthermore, it damages
expensive equipment. Halogen free material emits no halogen when exposed to fire.
Test Standards: IEC 60754-1; EN 50267-2-1
1g of insulation or sheath sample taken from cable construction is subject to the test, If the hydrochloric acid yield is less
than 5 mg/g, the cable specimen is categorized as LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) or LSHF (Low Smoke Halogen Free).
Test Standards: IEC 60754-2; EN 50267-2-2
1g of insulation or sheath sample taken from cable
construction is subject to the test, The resulting gases are
guided by air blow-trough to scrubbers with distilled water.
Take measurement of acidity (pH) and conductivity of the
solution. The pH acidity of the solutions shall be less than 4.3
and the conductivity shall be not greater than 10 S/mm.

Test Specimen
Air

Furnace

Gas Washing Bottles

4. Smoke Emission
Some plastic materials emit dense smoke during combustion
which affects visibility and causes difficulty in the evacuation.
Low smoke material emits very little smoke in the event of fire
and ensures at least 60% of light transmission when tested in
a 3 meter cube chamber.

The cable sections are burned in test chamber with light


source on one side of the wall and the photometric measuring
system in the opposite. Photometric measuring system takes
the reading of the light transmission in the chamber. The
result of measurement shall be not less than 60%.

NOTE 1: The current-carrying capacity for a cable in the size range 1.5 to 4 mm2, having more than 4 loaded cores, is obtained by multiplying
the current-carrying capacity of a 2-core, having the same insulation type, by the factor selected from this table. The current-carrying
capacity for the 2-core cable is that for the installation condition to be used for the multicore cable.
NOTE 2: If, due to known operating conditions, a core is expected to carry not more than 30% of its current-carrying capacity in the multicore
cable it may be ignored for the purpose of determining the number of cores in the cable.
NOTE 3: If, due to known operating conditions, a core is expected to carry not more than 30% of its rating after applying the rating factor for the
total number of current-carrying cores, it may be ignored for the purpose of obtaining the rating factor for the number of loaded cores.
For example, the current-carrying capacity of a cable having N loaded cores would normally be obtained by multiplying the currentcarrying capacity of a 2-core, having the same insulation type, by the factor selected from this table for N cores. That is Izlc= It2c x CgN
where:
Izlc is the current-carrying capacity of the multicore cable after applying the rating factor for the total number of current-carrying cores.
It2c is the tabulated current-carrying capacity of a 2-core cable, having the same insulation type as the multi-core cable
CgN is the rating factor from Table T12 for the total number of current-carrying cores

40

However, if M cores in the cable carry loads which are not greater than 0.3 x It2c x CgN, the current-carrying capacity can be obtained by
using the rating factor corresponding to (N-M) cores.
The not greater than 0.3 x It2c x CgN calculation should be applied before the adjacent muticore cable grouping factor, if applicable,
from Table T13. The 30% rule should not be further applied to any adjacent cable grouping factor calculations.
Izlc should be greater than or equal to In or Ib as appropriate, divided by the relevant rating factor(s) C, that is Izlc In or Ib/C

Where horizontal clearances between adjacent cables exceed twice their overall diameter, no rating factor need be applied.
The same factors are applied to:
- group of two or three single-core cables;
- multicore cables
If a group consists of both two- and three-core cables, the total number of cables is taken as the number of circuits, and the
corresponding factor is applied to the tables for two loaded conductors for the two-core cables, and to the Tables for three loaded
conductors for the three-core cables.
If a group consists of n single-core cables it may either be considered as n/2 circuits of two loaded conductors or n/3 circuits of three
loaded conductors.
The rating factors given have been averaged over the range of conductor sizes and types of installation included in Tables T1 to T8
and the overall accuracy of tabulated values is within 5%.
For some installations and for other methods not provided for in the above tables, it may be appropriate to use factors calculated for
specific cases, see for examples Tables T16 and T17
Where cables having differing conductor operating temperature are grouped together, the current rating is to be based upon the
lowest operating temperature of any cable in the group.
If, due to known operating conditions, a cable is expected to carry not more than 30% of its grouped rating, it may be ignored for the
purpose of obtaining the rating factor for the rest of the group. For example, a group of N loaded cables would normally require a
group rating factor of Cg applied to the tabulated It. However, if M cables in the group carry loads which are not greater than 0.3 CgIt
amperes the other cables can be sized by using the group rating factor corresponding to (N-M) cables.

NOTE 1: Values given apply to an installation depth of 0.7m and a soil thermal resistivity of 1.2 K.m/W.

These are average values for the range of cable sizes and types quoted for Table T1 to T8. The process of averaging, together

with rounding off, can result in some cases in errors of up to 10%. (Where more precise values are required they may be
calculated by methods given in BS 7769 (BS IEC 60287)

NOTE 1: The factors in Table T18 are applicable to groups of cables all of one size. The value of current derived from application of the
appropriate factors is the maximum current to be carried by any of the cables in the group.

NOTE 2: If due to known operating conditions, a cable is expected to carry not more than 30% of its grouped rating, it may be ignored for
the purpose of obtaining the rating factor for the rest of the group.

NOTE 3: Where cables having different conductor operating temperatures are grouped together the current rating should be based on the
lowest operating temperature of any cable in the group.

NOTE 4: When the number of cables used differs from those stated in the table, the rating factor for the next higher stated number of
cables should be used.

Care is needed where the cable runs vertically and ventilation is restricted. The ambient temperature at the top of the vertical

section can be much higher.
NOTE 1: The illustrations are not intended to depict actual product or installation practices but are indicative of the method described.

Technical
Information
Selection of Cable Based
on Voltage Drops and
Current-Carrying Capacity
Voltage drop is normally only of importance for
cables of voltage rating not exceeding 600/1000
volts. If the voltage drops is to be in compliance with
the Regulations of CP5/IEE Wiring Regulations, then
the voltage drop for any particular cable run must
be such that the total voltage drop in the circuit of
which the cable forms a part does not exceed 4% of
the nominal voltage.
Since the actual power factor of the load is usually

not known, the most practical approach to the


question of the voltage drop is to assume the worst
conditions, i.e. power factor equal to one and the
conductor is at maximum operating temperature.
The voltage drop value given in the tables are based
on these assumptions and tabulated for a current
of 1 amp for a 1 metre run, i.e. for a distance of
1 metre along the route taken by the cables, and
represent the result of the voltage drops in all the
circuit conductors.
For a balanced three phase a.c. circuits, the values
relate to the line voltage. For any given run, the
values need to be multiplied by the length of the
run (in metres) and by the current (in amps) that
the cables are to carry.

Voltage drop can be calculated using the following formulas:


=

Vmax

4% x supply voltage ...........(1)


Vmax x 1000

Vd
Vc

Vt

IxL

...........(2)
...........(3)

Vd
Vc x I x L
1000

...........(4)

Where
I
L
Vmax

=
=

Current (A)
Length of cable installed (m)
Max. permissible volt drop in the circuit (V)
Max. volt drop in the circuit (mV/A/m)
Volt drop of the selected cable (mV/A/m)
Total volt drop in the circuit (V)

Example:
Consider a route of 200 metres of cable to be laid on a perforated cable tray and to
carry a 200-amp load, the supply voltage being 415 V, three phase a.c. and the cable to
be copper conductor, XLPE insulated unarmoured type
1.

Vmax

= Max. permissible volt drop in the circuit = 4% x 415V = 16.6V

2.

Vd

= Max. volt drop in the circuit

3.

Select a cable from Table T1a, such that the Vc value is equal to, or less than Vd, the
0.415mV/A/m calculated, at the same time ensuring that it would carry the current.
It will be seen and this value (Vc ) is 0.37mV/A/m (under Z in column 6 of Table T1a)
giving a cable size of 120 mm2.

4.

Vt

= Total volt drop in the circuit =

16.6 x 1000
200 x 200

0.37 x 200 x 200


1000

= 0.415mV/A/m

= 14.8V
