Design Features

FIREX®-II TECK CABLE

Nexans, recognizing a need todevelop cable products whichminimize the effects of accidental fire,manufacture Teck cable with jacketcompounds that assist in the limitationof fire spread and acid gas evolution.

When subjected to the Vertical FlameTest – Cables in Cabletroughs,described in paragraph 4.11.4 ofCSA Standard C22.2 No. 0.3–01 thecomplete cables, with or without outerjacket, meet the 1.5 metre flame-spread limit for cable damage. As aresult, Nexans Teck Cables aremarked with an “FT4” designation.

The inner jackets of FIREX®-II Cablesare flame-retardant in accordancewith Clause 4.11.1 of CSA StandardC22.2 No. 0.3–01 and both innerand outer jackets meet the acid gasevolution requirement of 14%maximum when tested to clause 4.31of CSA Standard C22.2 No. 0.3–01.As a result, Nexans Teck Cables aremarked with an “AG14” designation.

This significant reduction in theamount of corrosive acidic gasesevolved under fire conditions ensuresadded safety to operational personneland protection of sensitive electronicequipment.

In addition to meeting the CSA FT4requirements at 70,000 BTU/hr,Nexans FIREX®-II TECK Cables passthe ICEA T29-520 Vertical Cable TrayFlame Test using a 210,000 BTU/hrflame.

They also pass the IEEE Standard 383Vertical Flame Test on groupedcables.

Caution Notice

In case of fire, well maintained earlywarning smoke detectors will give analarm long before non-metalliccoverings become combustible.

However, in spite of the widespreadand long-standing use of PVC inresidential and commercial buildings,all purchasers of PVC insulated/jacketed products should be aware ofthe following:

• Non-metallic coverings of electricalcables can burn and may transmitfire when ignited.

• Burning non-metallic coverings mayemit acid gases which are toxic andmay generate dense smoke.

• Emission of acid gases may corrodemetal in the vicinity; e.g. sensitiveinstruments and reinforcing rods incement.

The increase in conductor resistance due to skin effect can be calculated from thefactor (1 + Ys) where

(R = dc resistance in Ω/km at desired conductor temperature)

Where desired, the additional effect of proximity can be determined from thefactor (1+ Yp) where

YP = Ys 0.312 + at 60 Hz

where dc = conductor diameter, mms = equivalent axial distance between conductor centres, mmYs = skin effect co-efficientYp = proximity effect co-efficient

Inductive ReactanceThe inductive reactance of cables in a multicable circuit is:

XL = 0.0754 ln Ω/km to neutral at 60 Hz

where GMD = equivalent axial spacing or axial distance between the phaseconductors in the circuit in mmGMR = geometric mean radius of the phase conductor. For compactround conductors GMR = 0.38 × conductor diameter. (See StrandedBare Copper and Aluminum Conductor Information.)

Capacitive ReactanceCapacitive reactance is calculated from capacitance:

Xc = = Ω×km at 60 Hz

where C = capacitance in µF/km

For single conductor insulated, and shielded cables with outer metallic layer:

C = µF/km

where ε = dielectric constant of insulation (= 2.3 for XLPE)D = diameter over cable dielectricd = diameter under cable dielectric

Note: Capacitive reactance can normally be neglected for open lines up toabout 40 km or in cables up to 20 km in length.

Charging CurrentCharging current is calculated from capacitance and voltage as follows:

lch = 2πfCE = 377 CE mA/km at 60 Hz

where C = capacitance in µF/km (see above)E = line to neutral voltage in kV

Voltage DropFor multi conductor cables and single conductor cables at close spacing, voltagedrop may be determined by use of the method shown in the following pages.Where necessary to calculate for single conductors spaced apart, the followingformula will give sufficiently accurate results:

Es – Er = l (R cosφ + XL sinφ) V/km to neutral

where Es = sending end voltage, VEr = receiving end voltage, Vl = current AR = resistance of conductor, Ω/kmXL = inductive reactance of conductors, Ω/kmφ = load power factor angle (NB: 100 cosφ = % load power factor)

It is important, when determining limiting voltage drops, that the correct voltageis used, i.e. line-to-line, or line-to-neutral.

Voltage DropThe voltage drop curves contained in this publication are applicable to aluminumarmoured TECK cables. For steel armoured TECK cables, increase the valuesobtained from the curves by 20% to estimate the voltage drop.

In the table for 3 phase 60Hz Voltage Drop Single Conductor TECK are curves ofvoltage drop for single and 3 conductor cables with copper conductors, 3 phase,60 cycles. The voltage drop for 4 conductor cables, such as in a 3 phase, 4 wiregrounded neutral system, may be taken from the curve for a 3 conductor cable,where the fourth conductor carries only unbalance current of a 3 phase system.

The voltage drop curves are generated using the following formula:

Voltage Drop = Rcosθ + XLsinθ (volts/amp-km)

where: R = AC resistance (ohms/km)XL = inductive reactance (ohms/km)θ = load power factor angle

(NB: 100cosθ = % load power factor)

To calculate the net voltage drop for a specific application, the following formulamust be used to account for systems other than 3 phase, circuit length and current:

Net Voltage Drop = f x K x I x LNet Voltage Drop = 1000

where: f = system correction factor (see below)K = voltage drop factor from curve (v/amps-km)I = current carried by one conductor (amps)L = circuit length (meters)

Since the curves are based on a 3 phase line-to-neutral system, the followingcorrection factor (f) must be used in the voltage drop calculation:

System Correction Factor (f)

1 phase, 2 wire (120 V branch circuits) 21 phase, 3 wire (240 V residential circuits) 21 phase, 3 wire line-to-line 23 phase, 3 wire line-to-line 1.733 phase, 4 wire line-to-line 1.733 phase, 4 wire line-to-neutral 1

The following examples illustrate the proper use of the voltage drop formula andfactors:

Example 1Find the voltage drop and percent drop given the following:– 3 phase circuit at 600/347 volts,– length of circuit 250 meters,– conductor – single conductor TECK, size 250 kcmil, in air with one diameter

spacing,– load – 200 amps at 90% load power factor.

31

SOLUTION

Find the K factor from the single conductor TECK Voltage Drop Curve; for 250kcmil conductor at 90% Load Factor we get:

K = 0.250 volts per 1000 amp meters

therefore, from the voltage drop formula we calculate the voltage drop as:

Voltage Drop = 1 x 0.250 x 200 x 2501 0 0 0

Voltage Drop = 12.5 voltso r

Voltage Drop = 12.5 x 100%Voltage Drop = 347

Voltage Drop = 3.6%

Example 2Consider the above example with a three-conductor TECK and the sameconditions.

SOLUTION

Find the K factor from the three conductor TECK Voltage Drop Curve; for 250kcmil conductor at 90% Load Factor we get:

K = 0.195 volts per 1000 amp meters

therefore, from the voltage drop formula we calculate the voltage drop as:

Voltage Drop = 1 x 0.195 x 200 x 2501 0 0 0

Voltage Drop = 9.75 voltso r

Voltage Drop = 9.75 x 100%Voltage Drop = 347

Voltage Drop = 2.8%

Short circuit CalculationsThe short circuit capabilities of the conductors of a cable for a given durationdepend principally on their heat capacities, and are limited by the maximumtemperature permitted under short-circuit conditions. The temperature limitsestablished by Nexans are as follows:

250°C at phase conductor200°C at shield or concentric bonding conductor

The following graph provides a means of estimating the short circuit capacity ofcopper XLPE or TRXLPE Insulated conductors. These curves are plotted fordurations in cycles (60 Hz basis). Logarithmic interpolation will provide values forintermediate durations. The curves may also be used to determine the amount ofconducting material required for a known short-circuit condition.

It is important to limit short circuit durations to no more than 2 or 3 seconds as noheat flow is taken into account in the functions used to calculate these curves.

INSTALLATION DATA

Pulling Tension LimitsIt is recommended that FIREX® -II TECK Cables be pulled on the conductors usinga pulling eye where necessary. The maximum permissible tension is 8 lbf/kcmil(=10,000 lbf/in2) for single conductor cables. For three conductor cablesrecommended maximum pulling tension is 16 lbf/kcmil based on the area of oneconductor only. To avoid displacing the armour it may be necessary to use abasket grip over the outer jacket as well as the pulling eye. The use of guiderollers or other friction-reducing devices is highly recommended.

Low-temperature InstallationNexans FIREX® -II TECK Cables meet CSA cold bend and impact requirements atminus 40°C. These tests are conducted under carefully controlled laboratoryconditions to ensure comparability of results from different laboratories.

Since actual field conditions are not subject to such control it is recommendedthat, wherever possible, provision be made for the heating of cables to at leastminus 10°C until the actual cable installation. This will minimize the risk ofdamaging cables in very cold weather.

Vertical InstallationFor vertical installations, the use of a messenger may be necessary to support thecable during installation. Offsets may well be necessary for final positioning ofthe cable. Please consult your nearest Nexans Sales Office for recommendationsand information on Vertex cable.

Bending RadiusNexans FIREX® -II TECK Cables are flexible and can be trained easily. Thefollowing table gives minimum bending radius factors for final training. Duringinstallation, and especially while pulling, bending radii should be twice the valuesshown below:

Up to 5 kV(Unshielded) 7 x Outside Diameter

Over 5 kV and allmetal tape shielded 12 x Outside Diametercable

Note: The bending radius is that of the inner surface of the cable at the bend.In all cases these values are for permanent training after installation. Larger radiiare recommended wherever the cable is being pulled under tension, preferably notless than twice and in no case less than 1.5 times the values for permanenttraining.

37

Pulling Tension CalculationsThe maximum pulling tension on a cable should not exceed:

a) where pulled by means of the conductor(s)70nA newtons (N) for copper50nA N for aluminumwhere n = 1 for single conductor cable

1.5 for 2C cable2 for 3C cable and for triplexed 1C cables

A = cross-section of one conductor (mm2)b) where pulled by means of a basket grip over an outer jacket or

concentric wires 5000 N or value from (a) above, whichever is the lower.

The tension resulting from a given duct installation is calculated as follows:a) T = 9.8 LWf (for a straight section)

where T = pulling tension, NL = length of duct section, mW = linear mass of cable, kg/mf = coefficient of friction, typically 0.35

b) T = T2 + T1efa (for a duct with a bend)where T2 = tension for the straight section following the bend

(calculated as in (a) above)T1 = tension for the straight section preceding the bende = 2.71828f = coefficient of frictiona = angle of bend, radians

efa is evaluated for some common conditions:

efa

bend angle f = 0.3 f = 0.35 f = 0.4

30° 1.17 1.20 1.2345° 1.27 1.32 1.3760° 1.37 1.44 1.5290° 1.60 1.73 1.88

At any bend the tension should not exceed 3600 N/m of radius of the bend inorder to avoid excessive compression forces in the cable.

Assuming the illustrated duct layout and:• triplexed 3 x 1/c 500 kcmil copper 15 kV cable• linear mass = 11.0 kg/m• f = 0.35• pulling from A to F

Tension at B (T1) = 9.8 x 60 x 11.0 x 0.35 = 2270 NTension at C (T2) = T1efa = 2270 x 1.32 = 3000 NTension at D (T3) = 3000 + (9.8 x 20 x 11.0 x 0.35) = 3755 NTension at E (T4) = T3efa = 3755 x 1.73 = 6500 NTension at F (T5) = 6500 + (9.8 x 30 x 11.0 x 0.35) = 7630 N


38


The maximum permissible tension on this cable would be70 x 2 x 253 = 35,420 N

The tension at E = 6500/3 = 2170 N/m of radius, which is not excessive;however, it is prudent to reduce this value, if possible, by comparing the results ifthe cable is pulled from F to A:

Tension at E (T1) = 9.8 x 30 x 11.0 x 0.35 = 1130 NTension at D (T2) = 1130 x 1.73 = 1960 NTension at C (T3) = 1960 + (9.8 x 20 x 11.0 x 0.35) = 2715 NTension at B (T4) = 2715 x 1.32 = 3580 NTension at A (T5) = 3580 + (9.8 x 60 x 11.0 x 0.35) = 5840 N

Pulling from F to A results in significantly lower tensions in the bends and overall,and should be selected as the preferred direction of pulling.

Field TestingVoltage tests after installation shouldbe made as soon as possible. Beforeapplying the test voltage, ensure thatall equipment is disconnected from thecable circuit. Also ensure that there issufficient clearance between the cableends and any grounded surfaces,objects or persons. We recommendthat only qualified persons familiarwith the process and associated safetyprecautions perform a D.C. Hipot test.

For all 5kV and higher shielded cable,a high-voltage DC test made beforeplacing a new cable system in servicewill normally reveal grossimperfections such as mechanicaldamage during installation orimproperly made accessories. It is notexpected to reveal deterioration due toageing in service.

At any time during installation, a ProofTest may be made at a voltage notexceeding that shown in the tableapplied for five minutes.

After installation and before the cableis placed in regular service, anAcceptance Test may be made at avoltage not exceeding that shown inthe table applied for 15 consecutiveminutes.

After the cable has been completelyinstalled and placed in regularservice, a Maintenance Test may bemade at any time within the first fiveyears at a voltage not exceeding thatshown in the table applied for fiveconsecutive minutes. Recent researchhas shown that the loss of dielectricstrength caused by normal wet agingwill shorten the cable life when

subjected to DC testing. After thattime, such testing is not recommended.

These tests should only be undertakenby persons familiar with the use of theequipment and appropriate safetyprecautions. If any equipment isincluded beyond the cableterminations, the dielectric strength ofsuch equipment must be taken intoconsideration when establishing thetest voltage.

For further information, see NexansProduct Information Letter number PIL14-12.

For 600, 1000 and 5000 volt non-shielded cables, a megger test at thecable’s rated voltage isrecommended.
