50 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE
Olex Cables has been designing and
manufacturing cables in Australia for over
half a century, developing an international
reputation for high quality, advanced
technology and reliability.
Olex Cables employs over 900 people in factories
and sales offices throughout Australia, New Zealand
and China, with a regional sales office in Singapore
and distributors throughout the Pacific region.
Much of the high voltage XLPE cable manufacturing is
done at the Melbourne factory location in Tottenham.
The 26 hectare (65 acre) Tottenham site has a
sophisticated research and development facility and
the expertise to manufacture cables that are at the
leading edge of world technology.
Olex Cables is a company with internationally trained
professionals, and key senior people sit on Australian
and international technical committees. A major force
in the world of cable manufacture, Olex Cables

NOLOGY AND FLEXIBILITY

Standard cable constructions
 This catalogue provides details for a rationalised range
of cables of 3.8/6.6kV up to 19/33kV designed and
manufactured to comply with AS1429.1. However, all the
cable contructions and options defined in AS1429.1 are
available from Olex Cables upon request. More
information is available at the Olex Cables web site
 AS1429.1 is based on IEC60502.2 and has
additional requirements and test procedures
to improve the product
 Conductor copper or aluminium to AS1125. To reduce
cable diameter, weight and cost, compacted stranded
conductors are normally used.

Alternative cable constructions

Depending on the end use, the construction and protective
covering of Olex cables vary considerably. Variations
include metal/polymer laminated moisture barrier
sheaths, extruded lead alloy moisture barriers, as well
as corrugated metal sheaths, such as stainless steel,
which also provide substantial mechanical protection.
Many designs are also suitable for submarine installations.
Olex Cables always aims to design cables to provide
optimum performance for the end application. Cables
are designed in accordance with differing customer
requirements, to Australian, New Zealand, British, USA
or IEC Standards as required.

Meeting and exceeding standards

Olex Cables has achieved internationally recognised
certification for quality systems operating within all four
Australasian manufacturing sites. Certification to the
internationally accepted AS/NZS ISO9001 (1994) has
been achieved by Olex Cables sites in Melbourne,
Australia and New Zealand.
Olex Cables certification covers the complete supply
process from initial enquiry and contract review, through
design, production, handling and delivery of the finished
product.

The CityLink project provides a much

needed connection between Melbournes
western and eastern suburbs. Olexs
22kV cable provides the power.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Current Ratings

Emergency Rating

The continuous current ratings given in this catalogue

have been calculated in accordance with the International
Electrotechnical Commission Publication IEC 60287
Electric Cables Calculations of the Current Rating
based on the following operating conditions:

XLPE insulated cables can operate under emergency

conditions with a conductor temperature of 130C for
periods of up to 36 hours, not more than three times
per year.
In practice, however, due to the difficulty in ensuring
compatibility with terminations and the high volume
expansion of XLPE above 100C, a limit of 105C for
emergency rating has become widely acceptable
and is specified in AS1429, Japanese and European
specifications. A further restriction is evident where metal
tape screens are specified; here the overload temperature
may have to be limited to 100C. The 105C emergency
limit represents the following approximate percentage
increase over the normal continuous ratings:
Cables in air: +14%
Cables in ground (laid direct or in ducts): +11%

Maximum conductor temperature

90C

Ambient air temperature

40C

Ambient soil temperature

1.2K.m/W

Type of Installation:
 In air, shaded, no wind.
 Buried direct with a depth of laying of
0.8m to centre of cable or cable group
 In duct with a depth of laying of
0.8m to centre of duct
Single core cables are laid in the configurations indicated
in the current rating tables and the screens are bonded
to the earth at both ends.

Grouping of Cables
Where a number of circuits are installed in close proximity
with one another, consideration must be given to the
mutual heating effect. With cables in ground, a derating
factor must be applied when the spacing between circuits
is less than 1.0m. Cables in unenclosed installations must
be derated when the spacing is less than 3 times the
cable diameter.
Allowance must also be made for other heat sources
(steam pipes etc.) laid close to cables and in cases where
cables of different temperature ratings are installed in
close proximity.

36

Short Circuit Ratings

Conductors
The short circuit current ratings given in the tables are
calculated in accordance with IEC 60986 and are the
symmetrical currents which will cause the conductor
temperature to rise from the normal operating value of
90C to the safe short circuit value of 250C in the time
stated, assuming adiabatic conditions (i.e. neglecting
heat loss).
Where high fault currents are anticipated in single
core cables, consideration should be given to the
electromechanical forces which will cause the cables
to move apart if adequate restraint is not provided.

Screens

Rating Factors

The screen short circuit current ratings given in the tables

are calculated in accordance with IEC 60986 and are the
asymmetrical currents which will cause the screen
temperature to rise from the normal operating value of
80C to the safe short circuit final temperature, assuming
adiabatic conditions. The final temperature used in the
calculation varies depending upon the nature of the screen
material itself and also on the other materials in direct
contact with the screen.
The screen constructions detailed are for the purpose of
illustration only and can be tailored in size to meet the
specific fault requirements of any operating system.

The current ratings of high voltage XLPE insulated cables

have been based on standard values of air and ground
temperatures, depth of burial and thermal resistivity of
soil. Where it is desired to depart from these standard
conditions the rating correction factors given in the
following tables should be applied.

Bonding
The current ratings given for single core cables assume
that the copper wire screens are solidly bonded to earth
at both ends.
Single point bonding results in an increase in current rating
of up to 25% due to the elimination of heating effects of
the circulating currents caused by the induced voltage in
the screens. This loss can be minimised, either:
 In short runs of cable, by earthing at one end only
(in which case the screens cannot be used for
earthing), or
 In long runs of cable, by transposing or cross-bonding
the screens at every joint position so that the voltages
induced by the three phases cancel one another.
With single point bonding, higher current ratings may be
used, however, under some conditions, a high standing
voltage may occur in the open end of the screens and
attention must be paid to the safety aspects.
Generally it is considered practical to use special bonding
arrangements only on transmission class cables (66kV and
above) as the extra equipment (link boxes, etc) required
must also be considered in the total project cost. Three
core cables are assumed to be solidly bonded to earth
at both ends.

SCREEN SHORT CIRCUIT RATING

Cables rated up to 33kV

Impedance earthed systems

This catalogue details cables rated up to and including

33kV (distribution class cables) with 10kA screen designs.
This level of fault rating is the most common used by the
Electricity Supply Industry (ESI) over the last 510 years and
is one of the adopted fault levels for AS4026.

Cables with light duty screens can often be used on

impedance earthed systems (e.g. IT systems) since
the fault current is limited to a relatively low value.

There have been two other commonly used screen ratings,

although the terminology used to describe them has
varied over the years. These are described below.

Heavy Duty Screen (High Fault Level)

A high level of fault screen rating, as adopted by many
industrial sites, is equal to the conductor fault rating up to
13.1kA for 1 second. This has also been identified for use
in coarse fault protection systems and corresponds to
the following MVA ratings:
Phase/phase
voltage rating
kV

Phase/earth
3 phase fault rating
MVA for 1 second

6.6

150

11

250

22

500

33

750

Light Duty Screen (Low Fault Level)

Olex Cables offer an optional light duty screen design
which can be utilised where fast acting fault protection
devices or current limited protection equipment is
employed. This is the second fault level adopted by
AS4026 for the ESI. It corresponds to a fault rating equal
to the conductor fault rating up to 3kA for 1 second.
This has also been identified for use in close fault
protection systems and corresponds to the following
MVA ratings for 2 cycles:

40

Phase/phase
voltage rating
kV

Phase/earth
3 phase fault rating
MVA for 0.04 seconds

6.6

150

11

250

22

500

33

750

It should, of course, be appreciated that under fault

conditions on impedance earthed (grounded) systems,
the phase to screen voltage on the cable will exceed the
normal phase to earth voltage of the system. If the time
of fault duration is up to 8h (but not exceeding 125h per
year), then AS1429.1 and IEC60502.2 allow the standard
rated cables to be used for these short durations. In the
case of cable operating frequently under fault conditions
or for longer periods, the next higher rated cable must be
used, for example:
System rating
kV

Cable rating

6.6/6.6

6.35/11

11/11

use

12.7/22

22/22

19/33

An alternative approach is detailed in the ICEA/NEMA

publication No. S-66-524, where it is required to increase
the insulation thickness for systems where faults need
to be sustained for periods over one minute but not
exceeding one hour. When higher voltage ratings
are specified special cables can be designed and
manufactured to meet the particular requirements.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Olex high voltage XLPE cables may be buried direct,
laid in exposed locations, in ducts or on ladders, subject
to constraints which may be related to current ratings.

Moisture
These cables are manufactured in conditions that exclude
moisture.
It is important that precautions are taken during installation
to ensure that moisture or water is not permitted to enter
the cable.
 Cut ends or opened sheath must be protected and
sealed from moisture.
 After cutting the cable, the ends must be re-sealed
for storage by an effective method such as a heat
shrinkable cable cap.
 Cable ends must be kept dry during pulling by the use
of a pulling eye on the conductors, by sealing against
the cable sheath.
 When using a pulling stocking, any cable end seal must
be checked for integrity before the pull and replaced
when broken or torn.

Single Core Cables

The following points should be noted relating to single
core cables
1. Single core cables carrying the phase currents of a
single circuit must be installed as closely as possible
together, to minimise inductive reactance. The preferred
formation for three phase conductors is a trefoil or
cloverleaf pattern although flat formation is also
acceptable. Sheaths should be in contact with one
another in either case.
2. A single core cable generates on alternating magnetic
field around itself which can cause large increases in
voltage drop and power loss due to transformer
effect when ferrous metal (iron and steel) is allowed to
encircle the cable. Steel racking or ladder will not induce
this effect, but the following must be observed:

 Cable cleats may be of wood, plastic, or non-ferrous

metal but steel saddles should not be used, unless fixed
to a non-conductive surface.
 Where three single phase cables pass through a steel
bulkhead all must pass through the same hole. Where
glanding is required it is usual to cut out a panel and
replace this with a non-ferrous (metal or plastic) plate
in which the three or four glands are mounted.
3. Under fault conditions, single core cables may be
subjected to large electromechanical forces which
tend to drive them apart, depending on installation
geometry. Generally, properly designed cleats
spaced at 1500mm intervals will provide adequate
support to the cable, however, special consideration
may be required if fault currents in excess of 15kA are
anticipated. Contact Olex Cables for further advice.

Outer Sheath
As high voltage XLPE cables are lighter than paper
insulated cables they are generally supplied in longer
lengths and therefore it is often necessary to provide a
tougher outer sheath to assist in installation. High density
polyethylene (HDPE) is a tough, rigid material and has
been proven to be effective for the outer sheathing layer.
Because this material is so rigid it may be subject to stress
cracking if applied over an uneven surface. Olex Cables
therefore recommend a bedding layer of orange PVC be
provided for the black HDPE sheath. This method retains
the advantages of HDPE and provides good flexibility
as well as an immediately identifiable damage indicator.
Where termites are known to be a problem, a thin
extruded layer of nylon is recommended. The nylon layer
may be applied between the PVC and the HDPE or be
followed by a sacrificial sheath.

41

BENDING RADIUS AND DUCT SIZES

The safe bending radius for an electric cable is limited by
the flexibility of the insulation and sheathing material used.
In practice Olex XLPE insulation will withstand high
elongation without sustaining damage which might impair
its electrical performance, and the screening material has
both the flexibility and adhesion to ensure that it will not
delaminate during severe bends.
Olex PVC sheathing stands up very well to bending, but
HDPE sheathing and nylon termite barriers both have to
be treated with caution because, being hard and brittle
materials, they are subject to damage if bent too severely.
Similarly, fire retardant and halogen free sheathing materials,
some being soft materials, must be treated with caution
during the pulling operation.
When a cable is being installed it may be pulled around
several curves in different directions and subjected to
dynamic stresses which could cause damage, consequently
the bending radius around which a cable may be pulled is
greater than that at which it can be set into its final position.
The following recommended minimum bending radii are
expressed as a function of the cable diameter and refer
to the inside of the curve. In all cases, bending radii should
be as large as practicable.

Duct Sizes
Ducts are another important consideration affecting the
pulling operation. Selection of the appropriate duct should
be based on internal duct diameter to suit a cable size,
and wall thickness to prevent deformation during duct
installation. The internal finish of the installed ducting
should be smooth to prevent cable sheath damage during
installation. During cable installation, the use of graphite
or other commercially available pulling lubricants can also
prevent sheath damage and reduce pulling tensions.
The following duct sizes are recommended:

PULLING TENSION
Where a cable is to be pulled using a winch and steel wire
rope, the rope may be secured to the cable by either:
 A cable stocking of steel wire braid
 A pulling eye attached to the cable conductors
 A pulling eye over the complete cable end
 A pulling eye formed from the armour wires
The maximum tension which may be used is limited by
the tensile strength of the conductors or armour wires,
or by the gripping capability of the cable stocking,
depending on the method used.
Both copper and aluminium are extremely ductile metals
which, in their annealed state, have no clearly defined
yield point so that elongation can commence at stresses
substantially less than the yield point for the material.
Galvanised mild steel, as used for cable armouring,
has a more clearly defined yield stress below which
negligible elongation will occur.
In the calculation of pulling tensions it is not usual to
allow for the tensile strength of the insulating and
sheathing materials, which in the case of XLPE power
cables, can be considerable. Reliance on these materials,
which have high elongation factors, may result in some
elongation of the conductors and a consequent increase
in the conductor resistance.

Method of Calculation
Using values of S from table above maximum tensions are
calculated by the methods listed below (clauses 1 to 3),
depending on the chosen pulling method.

1 Pulling by Conductor
Maximum pulling tension in kN Tc = N  Ac  S 1000
Where Tc = Maximum pulling tension (kN)
N = Number of conductors
Ac = Cross-sectional area of one conductor (mm2)
S = Maximum safe tensile stress (N/mm2)

2 Pulling by Armour
This formula is simplified for use when the number of wires
in the armour is not known, but the result is valid.
Maximum pulling tension
Ta = 2.47da (Dada)  S 1000
Where Ta = Maximum pulling tension (kN)
S = Maximum safe tensile stress for

The traditionally used DC test is no longer recommended.

It has been proven that DC testing of XLPE insulation
causes early breakdown. On new installations, the effect
is almost undetectable, but the older the cable and joints,
the more rapid and severe is the damage. Cable and
joints with moisture or water within the cable or joint, are
often failing in service within two weeks of the DC test.
The recommended test is the power frequency high
voltage test. Due to the difficulty of getting AC test sets,
the first level compromise is to test at AC at working
voltage, no load, for 24 hours.
Alternative tests that are valid and useful are the insulation
resistance test and the sheath integrity test. Each is done
with an IR test set for 60 seconds. The IR test on the
insulation is done using at least 1000V for cables up to
6.6kV and 5000V for cables 11kV and above. The sheath
integrity test is done using at least 1000V.
A record of the reading is kept so it can be compared
to the reading at the next test. Either gradual decrease
of values or sudden drops of more than an order of
magnitude indicate that water is penetrating the cable
or physical damage has taken place.

Diagnostics of installed systems

Considerable research has occurred over the years and
systems are now being offered which show promising
results.
There are still a number of methods being applied, each
claiming advantages. Methods of analysis using relaxation
currents, recovery voltage, partial discharge and
measurement of dissipation factors at 50Hz and at lower
frequencies, are being used.
Contact your nearest Olex Cables office for information on
progress with these developments.
