11KV ABC cable current carrying capacity

Let us discuss about Size and current carrying capacity of a  11 KV 3x120 mm2 AB Cable. Before getting answer we have to know about Technical Specification.The Technical Specification as below.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION FOR 11KV AB Cable( AERIAL BUNCHED CABLES)  and XLPE insulated (CROSSED LINKED POLYETHYLENE DRY GAS CURED/WET CURED) FOR OVERHEAD LINES.

1. SCOPE

 This specification covers requirements of XLPE insulated, 11 KV Aerial Bunched Cables for overhead lines.

2. COMPOSITION OF THE CABLE

The composite cable shall comprise three single-core cables twisted around a bare aluminium alloy messenger wire, which will carry the weight of the cable.

3. RATED VOLTAGE

The rated voltage of the cables shall be 6.35KV/11KV and the maximum operating voltage shall be 12 KV.

4. APPLICABLE STANDARDS

Unless otherwise stipulated in this Specification, the following Standards shall be applicable:
i) IS: 7098 (Part-II) - 1985 – Cross linked Polyethylene Insulated PVC Sheathed Cables
ii) IS: 8130-1984 - Conductors for Insulated Cables
 iii) IS: 398 (Part-IV) - 1979 - Aluminium Alloy Conductors
 iv) IEC- 60502 (Part-II) 2005 - Polyethylene Outer Sheath

 5. DETAILS OF SINGLE-CORE CABLE

 5.1 The cable conductors shall be of round, stranded and compacted aluminium of nominal cross sectional area 35mm² / 70 mm2 / 95 mm2 /120 mm2. Corresponding nominal conductor diameter and number of wires in the conductor shall be as given in clause 5.7.
 5.2 Conductor Screen
The conductor screen shall be of extruded semi-conducting cross inked polyethylene compound of thickness not less than 0.5mm.
 5.3 Insulation
The insulation shall be of extruded cross linked polyethylene (XLPE), Dry Gas cured/wet cure process, of nominal insulation thickness 3.6mm and its properties shall conform to IS: 7098
(Part-II).
5.4 Insulation Screen
The insulation screen shall comprise extruded semi-conducting compound and/or  semiconducting tape. Thickness of the screen shall be not less than 0.6 mm.
 5.5 Metallic Screen
The metallic screen shall consist of Copper tape of thickness not less than 0.045mm.
 5.6 Outer Sheath
The outer sheath shall be black polyethylene. The nominal thickness of sheath shall be 2 mm and it shall conform to the technical requirements of ST-7 of IEC-60502 (Part-II) 2005
5.7 Dimensional and Electrical Data
 The dimensional and electrical data for single-core cable is given below:

6. MESSENGER (NEUTRAL CONDUCTOR) 

6.1 The bare messenger wire shall be of 70mm2 / 80mm2 / 100 mm2 (nominal area) aluminium alloy, generally conforming to IS:398 (Part-IV) - 1994, comprising of 7 strands and shall be suitably compacted/non compacted to have smooth round surface to avoid damage to the outer insulating sheath of single-core phase cables twisted around the messenger.

 6.2 There shall be no joints in any wire of the stranded messenger conductor except those made in the base rod or wires before finally drawing. 

6.3 The technical characteristics of the messenger wire shall be as follows: 


7. DESIGNATION AND PARAMETERS OF FINISHED CABLES 
 
The designation and parameters of finished cables are given in the following table: 


Note: The first part of the designation refers to the number and size of phase conductor and the second to the size of messenger wire. The sizes shown represent the nominal cross sectional areas in mm.

Answer:.As per above we know that Current carrying capacity of 3x120 mm2 Cable is 260 Amp and dia is 67 mm

what are the possible causes of cable faults?

नमस्कार मित्रों,आज मैने HT AB CAble फॉल्ट कियुं होता है उसिके बारे में चर्चा करूंगा।    आप सभी जानते है कि एचटी एबीसी साइट इंजीनियर के लिए सरदर्दी बन जाती है। जैसे ही लाइन चार्ज करते है कुछ मिनटों या महीनों के बाद फॉल्ट आना पैदा करदेता है।   बहुत सारे इंजीनियर तो बोलना शुरू कर देते है कि खराब इनसुलेशन की बजहा से ऐसे फॉल्ट होता है।  बहुत सारे रिसर्च और अनुभव के बाद  बाद में यही नतीजे में पहुंचा कि जो इस्प्रकर की। 1) अन लोडिंग,स्टोरेज और हैंडलिंग सही से होना चाहिए। 2) टर्मिनेशन किट या ज्वाइंटिंग सही से होना चाहिए। 3) एआर्थिंग सही से होनी चाहिए जैसे कि टर्मिनल की latches  एआर्थिग  जरूर करना होता है। एक चीज ध्यान देना कि मैसेंजर तार को भी दोनों साइड में एर्थिंग करने की। ऐसे तो मैने ए भी कहूंगा कि  हर एक खंबे में मैसेंजर तार को एर्थिग करना चाहिए। Please Subscribe my YouTube channel ⁸ साइट पर केबल ड्रम की अन-लोडिंग, स्टोरेज और हैंडलिंग के लिए दिशानिर्देश जो इस प्रकार की होनी चाहिए।  केबल ड्रम की अनलोडिंग या तो क्रेन द्वारा या होइस्ट द्वारा या ट्रक बॉडी के स्तर पर उठे हुए प्लेटफॉर्म पर की जान

Cable trench specification | Various type of cable trench

  Hello friends, I had told in my previous blogging that the current carrying capacity of different UG cables.Today I will tell you how the UG cable is laying and how the cable trench is done with the specification.   UG cable is very expensive, about 3-4 times expansive and also laying. But due to many reasons we have to do UG Cable. One of them is because of the reason   we have to do UG cable even after being so expensive, is density populated areas where Overhead Network cannot be used. However, the cable should be properly laid because it takes more time to find the fault than the overhead line.           Before selecting for laying UG cable, the current carrying capacity, voltage drop and short circuit current of the cable are very important factors which I had written earlier in blogging. Generally the life of the cable is 40-50 years. But Incorrect handling/laying can result in insulation damage and decreases the   life of   cable. Therefore, it is necessary that the

concrete pole specification | how to calculate cement, sand and aggregate quantity in concrete

Today I will tell, how PCC pole concreting is done? Before knowing about our topic, let's take a little knowledge about PCC Polls.full form of pcc pole is Plain  Cement Concrete pole .There are various types of PCC Pole like 8 mtr 8.5 mtr ,9 mtr .but Now I will discuss about only 8.5 mtr pcc pole. As per Guaranteed Technical Perticulars(GTP) Total Length-8.5 mtr Pit depth-1.5 mtr Working load applied 300 mm from top-180 kg Weight of the pole-415 Kg. Top dimension-90mmx145 mm Bottom dimensions-90mm x 300 mm we have to maintain pit length is 1.5 mtr and pole should be inside pit is L/6 where L is length of the pole. Explained : L=8.5 mtr Pit depth=L/6+0.075(Base plate) Pit diameter =20 inch(0.508 mtr) Let's go to our topic now. How to calculate cement, sand and aggregate quantities for ratio 1:2:4 Pit Size For one cmt cement required -6 bag Our pit volume (dia-0.508 mtr where r-0.254, depth-1.5 mtr) Volume -pie*r2*h                =3.14*0.254*0.254*1.5=0.304cmt For one cmt, bag o
