XLPE cable current carrying capacity table | Different current carrying capacity in air and ground

 Hello friends,Today I will share some technical knowledge about Current carrying capacity of 3Phase  XLPE UG Cable.

3core XLPE


4 core XLPE
Let's start :Before discussion, full form of XLPE is Cross linked Poly Ethylene.It can withstand in high temperature and cross-linked features more moisture resistance.


By considering Size ,there are various sizes of 3 core cable available.Let us discuss their sizes with current carrying capacity.Their current carrying capacities are different according to installation i.e in laying ground and in air.

Size:

1)50 mm2 130amp(Ground),140amp(Air)
 2)95mm2(185Amp in Ground,200Amp in Air) 
3)150mm2(235Amp in ground,265Amp in Air)
4)185mm2(270Amp in Ground,310Amp in Air)
5)240 mm2(305Amp in Ground,345Amp in Air)
6)300 mm2(340Amp in Ground,396Amp in Air)

In above, every one may have some question that how current carrying capacity of a cable increased in air?I can answer this way that wind speed is major factor that affect current carrying capacity in air.When wind speed rises current carrying capacity of a cable increases.
 And in ground, thermal resistance does  major impact on cable . Thermal Resistances increases with the increase burial depth and current carrying capacity deceases.

Conclusion: I always share my knowledge through my  blog. Please comments if you like or any improvement.

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...

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 ...

Depth of Field Photography Basics

  Depth of Field Photography Basics Understanding aperture & depth of field requires a strong foundation in the basics of a camera lens, along with the vocabulary used to describe them, such as f-stop, focal length, focus range, and field of view. This section provides an overview of the basics. The following sections provide technical details allowing you to apply these concepts to your own photography. What is Aperture in Photography? The terms f-stop and aperture are often used interchangeably, this is incorrect. Aperture refers to aperture diameter, where light enters the front of the lens. F-stop is the ratio of lens focal length to aperture diameter. F-stop can be referred to as f-number or f-stop value. They are the same. F-stop is  a dimensionless number, denoted by a hooked “ f ”, with an underlying number denoting the f-stop value. The hooked “f” is shorthand for f-stop, like the ”s.” after a shutter speed is short for seconds. f/2.8 and f/8 are two exa...
