Overview of Substation Automation SAS

This Substation Automation System (SA) comprises full station and bay protection as well as control, monitoring and communication functions and provides all fun ctions required for the safe and reliable operation of the substations. It shall enable local station control via a Personal Computer (PC) by means of a human machine interface (HMI) and control software pac age, which shall contain an extensive range of system control and data acquisition (SCADA) functions. It shall include communication gateway, interbay bus, intelligent electronic devic es (IED) for bay control and protection. The communication gateway shall secure the information flow with Regional Contro l Centres. The interbay bus shall provide independent station-to-bay and bay-tobay data exchange. The bay level intelligent electronic devices (IED) for protec tion and control shall provide the direct connection to the switchgear without t he need of interposing components and perform control, protection, and monitorin g functions. In order to meet the requirements of this specification the detailed design of t he SA is within the manufacturers responsibility, but subject to approval by REA. This specification covers the design, manufacture, inspection, training and test ing at the manufacturers wor s and at site, delivery to site, installation and co mmissioning. 5.1.1.1.2 Design of SAS

The Substation Automation System (SA) shall be suitable for operation and mainte nance of the complete substation including future extensions. The offered produc ts shall be suitable for efficient and reliable operation of outdoor or indoor s ubstations for distribution and transmission. The systems shall be of the state-of-the art based on IEC61850, IEC60870-5-101,1 03,104 for operation under electrical conditions present in high-voltage substat ions, follow the latest engineering practice, ensure long-term compatibility req uirements and continuity of equipment supply and the safety of the operating sta ff. The offered SA shall support remote control and monitoring from Regional Control Centre via gateways. The system shall be designed such that personnel without any bac ground nowledg e in microprocessor-based technology are able to operate the system easily after having received some basic training. Cubicles shall incorporate the control, monitoring and protection functions spec ified, self-monitoring, signalling and testing facilities, measuring as well as memory functions, event recording and disturbance recording. The basic control f unctions are to be derived from a modular standardized and type-tested software library. For safety and availability reasons the Substation Automation System shall be ba sed on a decentralized architecture and on a concept of bay-oriented, distribute d intelligence. Functions shall be decentralized, object-oriented and located as close as possib le to the process. The main process information of the station shall be stored i n distributed databases. The typical SA layout shall be structured in two levels, i.e. in a station and a bay level. The system shall accommodate control, data acquisition, alarm handling and trend analysis. The figure below illustrates the main principles. However, the Employ

er wants to eep a conventional bac up control facility with indication at bay level (local control). I.e. control of motorised brea ers and switches, status i ndication of all brea ers and switches, analogue or digital indication of measur ands (I and Imax all phases, MW and MVAr) and alarm annunciation shall be presen ted by discrete components. The control of high and medium voltage circuit brea ers, isolating switches and tap changers shall ta e place in a hierarchy with four levels as described in Pr oject Specific Data Section. From each level one may bloc access from higher le vels: The control units shall ta e auxiliary voltage form the station battery and be e quipped with self-supervision systems giving alarm by internal faults. The system shall be fail-safe eeping all equipment in the last status by loss o f communication to higher systems.

At bay level, the IEDs shall provide all bay level functions regarding control, monitoring and protection, inputs for status indication and outputs for commands . The IEDs should be directly connected to the switchgear without any need for a dditional interposition or transducers. Each bay control IED shall be independent from each other and its functioning sh all not be affected by any fault occurring in any of the other bay control units of the station. The data exchange between the electronic devices on bay and station level shall ta e place via the interbay bus. The bus shall be realized using fibre-optic cab les or Ethernet. At station level, the entire station shall be controlled and supervised from the station HMI. It shall be possible to control and monitor the bay from the bay l evel equipment, in the event that the communication lin fails. The station wide interloc ing shall also be available when the station computer fails. To provide highest reliability the station HMI and the gateways shall wor compl etely independent meaning retrieving the process data directly from the bay leve l devices. Additionally the gateway and the station HMI shall be configured full y redundant to ensure full functionality in case of single point of failure. Clear control priorities shall prevent that operation of a single switch can be initiated at the same time from more than one of the various control levels, i.e . SCADA, station, bay level or apparatus level. The priority shall always be on the lowest enabled control level. The station level contains the station-oriented functions, which cannot be reali sed at bay level, e.g. alarm list or event list related to the entire substation , gateway for the communication with remote control centres. A dedicated master cloc for the synchronization of the entire system shall be p rovided. This master cloc should be independent of the station computer and of the gateway, and should synchronize all devices via the interbay bus. The SA shall contain the following main functional parts: Human Machine Interface (HMI) with process database Separate gateway for remote supervisory control via SCADA

 Master cloc (e.g. GPS receiver) Collection of the relevant data concerning the substation and distribution of th e data where needed Bay and station level devices for control, monitoring and protection Bay-oriented local control panels. 5.1.1.1.2.1 Signal List

A-Gravel Access and Internal Roads (Gravel Wearing Course GWC) A.1 General All new access and internal roads will be gravel standard and their alignments w ill be designed to accommodate construction and future maintenance traffic. Any damage occasioned by whatsoever cause during construction shall be repaired by spot gravelling, reshaping and re-compaction at the end of contract such that the road to be handed over will be defects free. A.2 Materials Requirements Gravel standard roads comprise of a single layer of selected granular material p laced directly on the sub grade to serve as a pavement and as surface-wearing co urse. The gravel for the single layer should be of adequate quality to guarantee the f ollowing: a) General In general gravel wearing course materials should comply with the following: They should have sufficient cohesion to bind the particles together and prevent the surface from ravelling and becoming corrugated in the dry season. The amount of fines and plasticity should be limited so as to avoid the occurren ce of dusty and slippery conditions in dry during the dry and wet weather respec tively. b) Grading Requirements: Grading curve of the gravel should be within the class 1 envelope (initial daily number of commercial vehicles less than 150) to guarantee good stability. The g rading to consider is that obtained after processing and compaction. Grading after compaction Sieve Size (mm) % passing by Class 1 Class 2 37.5 100 28 100 95 100 20 95 100 85 14 80 100 65 10 65 100 55 5 45 85 35 92 2 30 68 23 77 1 25 56 18 62 0.425 18 44 14 - 50 0.075 12 - 32 10 - 50 weight

c) Plasticity Requirements Plasticity index of the gravel should not exceed 15 and shall not be less than 5 in wet areas (annual rainfall greater than 500 mm per year). In dry areas (ann ual rainfall less than 500 mm per year) maximum plasticity index shall be 30 but subject to a minimum of 10. d) Bearing Strength Requirements A minimum CBR (after 4 days soa ) of 20% at 95% MDD and OMC (Modified AASTO T180 ) is required e) Construction Procedures Gravel materials are excessively coarse in their as dug state. Appropriate process ing is therefore necessary to bring them to the required gradation. This is norm

ally done on the road by using grid, cleat or sheeps foot rollers. Oversized part icles which cannot be bro en down to the required size shall be removed. The minimum thic ness of a compacted layer shall not be less than 125 mm. A.3 Pavement. The single gravel layer should consist of a minimum thic ness necessary to avoid excessive compressive strain in the sub grade and to compensate for the expecte d gravel loss under traffic during the period between re-gravelling. Where the top 300 mm layer of the formation level emban ment or natural ground s ub grade has a CBR greater than 5%, the following thic nesses shall be provided: Roads within the Switch Yard not subjected to heavy commercial vehicles The minim um compacted thic ness of 125mm. Access roads outside the Switch Yard and roads within the Switch Yard li ely to be subjected to heavy commercial vehicles during construction and during periodi c maintenance. Provide a 250 mm thic compacted layer. In addition to the above, where the in situ sub grade or the emban ment material has CBR strength of less than 5% then: Top 300 mm layer of the fill / emban ment shall be made with selected imported m aterial with CBR (after 4 days soa ) of between 7 and 13%. Where in situ sub grade an improved sub grade 300 mm thic of imported materials with CBR (4 days Soa ) of between 7 and 13% shall be laid. The above thic ness shall extend to cover the shoulders. A cross fall of 4% shal l be provided. Compaction will be in layers not thic er than 200 mm and will achieve compacted densities of 95% MDD (Modified AASHTO T180) at compaction moisture contents of b etween 80% and 105% OMC. a) Existing Bitumen Standard Access and Internal Roads All shall be reinstated to their original standard of materials and construction . b) Quality Control Tests shall be performed by the contractor on soils and gravels undergoing compa ction under the supervision of and at frequencies determined by the Project Mana ger and shall include: Determination of the Atterberg Limits in accordance with BS 1377. Determination of particle size distribution in accordance with BS 1377. Determination of dry density / moisture content relationship in accordance with BS standard compaction and modified AASHTO T180 as appropriate. California Bearing ratio (CBR) in accordance with AASHTO T193. Field dry density as set out in BS 1377.

6.1.1.2.3 Removal of Top Soil The top soil within the areas of platform and shall be stripped to an approximat e depth of 200 mm and stoc piled at locations agreed with the Project Manager fo r later use on emban ment slopes. Overburden in the borrow pit shall also be stripped to a depth specified by the Project Manager and stoc piled for later use in rehabilitation.

6.1.1.2.4 Classification of Materials Materials excavated and either placed in the Wor s for the formation of the plat form or carted to spoil will be paid for in the following three classes of mater ial: "Roc " "Roc " shall include all material which requires blasting for its removal or can not be extracted by ripping with a single tine heavy duty ripper of at least 5 t onne mass towed by a crawler tractor in good condition with a net available flyw heel power rating of not less than one hundred and thirty-five W engine power a nd with a minimum bare tractor mass of 15 tonne. The use of explosives by the C ontractor to excavate does not in itself imply that a material is Roc in terms of this Contract. Individual boulders greater than 0.2 m3 in volume shall be in cluded in this class when their nature and size are such that they cannot be rem oved without recourse to blasting. "Hard Material" "Hard Material" or "Decomposed Roc " shall include all material such as consolid ated gravels, decomposed or stratified roc , stones or boulders less than 0.2 m3 in volume which cannot be classified as "Roc " but which in the opinion of the Project Manager requires additional processing, such as ripping or brea ing dow n by compressor tools before normal loading processes may be employed. For the purpose of this clause normal loading processes will include the use of graders or dozers to stoc pile material. "Common" "Common Material" shall be all material not defined as Roc or Hard Roc . All materials shall be classified as "Common" unless otherwise certified by the Project Manager. Should the Contractor during excavation encounter any material which in his opinion should be classified as roc or hard material, then he sha ll request the Project Manager to so certify the material before excavation of t hat material commences. 6.1.1.2.5 Order of Wor The construction of cuttings, side drains and emban ments shall proceed in a met hodical and orderly manner. It shall be solely the Contractor's responsibility to arrange his methods and programme of wor so as to ensure that the earthwor s are carried out by the most efficient and economical method possible with the t ype of plant employed on the Wor s. All trimming of cuttings, and emban ments, drains and shoulders to the specified slopes and shapes, shall be carried out concurrently with the earthwor s that a re being carried out at that particular site and level. 6.1.1.2.6 Fill Material "Fill-material" shall mean material deposited in accordance with these specifica tions from any of the classes specified in order to build up an earthwor s const ruction to formation level as shown on the Drawings or as ordered by the Project Manager. The Contractor shall obtain the fill material from a source approved b y the Project Manager. Fill materials will generally be obtained from cuttings. If the material obtaine d from this source is insufficient or unsuitable extra material shall be obtaine d from borrow areas. All fill material (other than roc fill in lower layers) sh all pass 75mm BS sieve size. The following materials are generally unsuitable for construction of fills. All materials containing more than 5% by weight of organic matter (such as top s

oil, materials from swamps, plants and vegetable matter) All expansive soils such as blac cotton soils with swells of more than 3% as me asured in the CBR test. All clay soils with plasticity index exceeding 50. All materials having a moisture content of 105% of the optimum moisture content (standard compaction) Roc fill can be used provided that boulders greater than 0.2 M3 in volume or 60 0 mm in size are not used and that this material is not placed within the top 60 0 mm to formation level. The best materials from cuttings or borrow areas should be reserved for the upper layers of the fill. Compaction of fill Materials other than roc fill shall be placed in layers of compacted thic ness not exceeding 300 mm. Thic er layers can only be permitted where very heavy com pacting equipment is available and trial sections have proved that the required compaction will be readily achieved over the layer depth. The minimum layer thic ness shall be twice the maximum particle size of the compacted material.

Fill material shall be compacted throughout to a dry density of at least 95% MDD at OMC (standard Compaction AASHTOT99) except the top 300 mm of the fill which shall be compacted to 100% MDD (AASHTO T99). Where roc fill is used it should be placed in the bottom of the emban ment. The largest sizes but shall be placed in layers of 1.0 meter thic . The interstices shall then be filled with smaller roc s and approved filler material. The whole layer shall then be compacted until the interstices are completely filled or un til the required settlement is obtained. Heavy vibratory rollers are generally t he most suitable machines for compacting roc fill. The specified compaction shall be achieved over the full width of the emban ment . Any area inaccessible to the roller shall be consolidated and compacted using ap proved mechanical tampers. Compaction of In situ Sub grades After removing the top soil and/or 600 mm of expansive soils and before placing fill, improved sub grade or gravel wearing course, the upper 300 mm of in situ s ub grade will be compacted to 100% MDD standard compaction. Compaction in cuts w ithout improved sub grade will li ewise be compacted to 100% MDD standard compac tion 6.1.1.2.7 Spoil Material "Spoil-material" shall mean material excavated in accordance with these specific ations from any of the classes specified, and which, being obtained from the exc avation of side drains, cuttings or below the road, emban ment is unsuitable for the requirements of the Wor s. Spoil material shall be removed from the Site t o a spoil tip which should be to a site acceptable by respective local authoriti es and shall be approved by the Project Manager. 6.1.1.2.8 Expansive Material When expansive material is encountered, it shall be removed to a depth 600 mm be low the formation or the existing ground level, whichever is greater. Material r emoved shall be stoc piled for later use in slope protection or spoiled to a tip as instructed by the Project Manager. 6.1.1.2.9 Surplus Material "Surplus-material" shall mean material excavated in accordance with these specif ications from any of the classes specified and which is temporarily surplus to t

he fill requirements and shall be carted to a designated stoc pile for re-use la ter elsewhere in the Wor s, or to an approved spoil tip. 6.1.1.2.10 Side Drains Where side drains are required excavating the lines, slopes and widths as design ed by the Contractor and approved by the Project Manager shall shape them. The s ide drains shall be finished off so that the formation levels and camber or supe r elevation of the formation, level and cross fall of the shoulders, and shape a nd invert levels of the side drains are everywhere in accordance with the Drawin gs. Any excess depth or width excavated from the side drains shall be bac filled and made good to the satisfaction of the Project Manager at the Contractor's expens e. All other types of drains are specified separately in this Specification.

Installation This extract from KPLCs Medium Voltage Underground Distribution Handboo determine s the minimum acceptable conditions for installation of medium voltage cables. General The cables will be laid in trenches that will be as straight as possible avoidin g sharp bends. The areas where trenches are to be excavated will be mar ed clearly on the groun d. If the location of other services is nown, they will be mar ed in order to t a e necessary precautions. Before construction commences trial pits will be made in order to confirm the so il strata of the planned trenches and to confirm the location of other services. Safety precautions such as covering the trench, fencing and warning signs will h ave to be provided for during the period of wor . When designing the plan for the trench layout, the minimum radius will be as in the following table. TABLE 3.1: BENDING RADII Bending radii Single core Recommended 17xD 15xD Minimum 15xD 12xD At sealing ends 12xD 10xD D = cable diameter Cable Mar er Cable mar ers shall be installed at the beginning and end of the cable run on th e surface all along the route, at all changes of direction, and above all joints , above cable duct entries and exits and at an interval not exceeding 50m along the cable route. This information as well as details about the joint (i.e. joint location) will be also recorded on a map. Excavation of Trenches The trench will be dug vertically to a minimum depth of 600mm or more as require d. All precautions must be made so as not to cover any services e.g. fire hydrants with soil that may be encountered in the path of the trench. 3-core

During construction on public roads passage and access of motorists and pedestri ans to commercial areas must be maintained. In order to reduce the cost of reinstatement on roads and pavements the digging shall be done at intervals of 2-3 m and a gallery or tunnel dug underneath. If trenches are constructed in soggy or inconsistent soil, the cables will be la id inside a duct as a protective measure and precautions ta en to prevent the en try of water at the ends or joints of the ducts The bottom of the trench must be made of firm material in order to prevent colla pse of the base that may subject the cable to mechanical stress. When several cables of different voltages are laid in the same trench they will be placed at different depths. The cables of the higher voltage will be placed d eepest. Where the trench is too deep as to cause instability to the walls of the trench shoring will be placed to provide lateral support to the trench walls. The separation between two groups of cables will be a minimum of 250mm. If this separation cannot be attained they will be laid in ducts or will be separated by a layer of bric s. Joint Holes Where cable joints are required to be made in the course of a cable run, a joint hole shall be excavated of sufficient size to enable the cable jointer to wor efficiently and unimpeded. Bac filling of Trenches Once the cable has been laid the trenches must be bac filled to an adequate com paction level. Care must be ta en to ensure that the first layer covering the ca bles will be free of roc s or any sharp mechanical objects. The bac fill will be laid in layers of 150mm, which should be compressed and wa tered if necessary in order to ma e the soil sufficiently compact. Pavement Reinstating The pavement shall be reinstated bac to the standard of the original pavement. New materials will generally be used in accordance with Municipal regulations. Ducts Road crossings when necessary will be done with ducts in the following manner they will be installed in a level position and concreted where possible to prov ide mechanical protection through out its length, they will have a depth of 1.2m . future expansion will be provided for by providing one or several spare ducts de pending on the location of the crossing. at all times the cables should be adequately protected. road and railway crossings must be planned in full detail. drainage of the trenches must be provided for during and after construction. In crossings with other normal underground services, a prudent distance will be maintained in view of future excavations, and when there is a possibility of ser vice interference, as is the case of other electric cables, waste water sewers e .t.c.

The ducts will be fabricated from PVC or concrete with a smooth interior surface and an interior diameter of not less than 2 times the diameter of the cable to be housed inside it, and in no case will this diameter be less than 150 mm. The joints of ducts will be sealed with cement, in which case the bottom of the trench must be carefully levelled after setting down a layer of fine sand or red soil in order to permit continuous joints. The ducts will be laid in such a manner that there is no abrasion between the in sulation of the cable and the surface of the duct. In the cases of single core cables the cable will have to be anchored to prevent movement due to magnetic effects by concreting the ducts at the ends of the joi nts. This shall not apply to three core cables. When constructing a duct a length of wire will be left inside to facilitate the fitting of cleaning elements as well as the cables themselves. The cleaning will consist of passing inside a cylinder in order to remove concre te that will pass through the joints and later passing a broom or a rag to remo ve the residue. Direct Burial For armoured cables the following criteria for burial will be met: the trench must have a 150mm layer of fine sand upon which the cable shall be la id to protect the cable from mechanical damage due to sharp objects. On top of t he cable another 150mm of fine sand will be laid. Both layers will cover the ent ire width of the trench. the sand should be well graded any materials used for bac filling the trench must meet the approval of the REA Construction Supervisor in charge. the cables must be buried at a depth of not less than 600mm. Exceptions could be made for roc y areas where the minimum depth can not be attained in this case t he cable will be laid in a duct. Cables must be protected with a layer of protecting slabs, which will also indic ate their presence. For armoured cables the excavated materials with out mechanically sharp objects will be adequate enough to bac fill the trench. Cables shall not be buried in areas within the substation boundaries. Necessary cable trenches shall be prepared instead to the satisfaction of the clients proje ct Manager. Galleries When the number of cables justifies the use they shall be laid in galleries. The cables will be fixed to the cable trays by means of brac ets or clamps. All metallic elements will be earthed with independent connectors if there are c ircuits of different voltages. Electric cables will not be installed where there are inflammable materials. Parallel Separation Low Voltage Cables Medium Voltage cables may be laid parallel to Low voltage cables as long as ther e is always a minimum distance of 250 mm between them. When this distance cannot

be attained, a solid bric wall shall separate them or they will be placed in d ucts. Medium Voltage Cables The distance to be maintained in the case of parallel situations of underground Medium Voltage lines is 250mm. If this distance cannot be achieved a protective bric wall will be installed between them, or one of them will be installed with in ducts. Telecommunication Cables In the case of parallel laying of subterranean electric cables and telecommunica tions wires, they must be as far as possible from each other. As long as the cab les both electric and telecommunications are buried, a minimum separation of 2 m eters must be maintained at all times. This distance could be reduced further to 250mm between ducts. The clearances must be in accordance with agreements between REA, KPLC and Water Steam etc. In parallel layouts between power cables and buried water pipes a minimum distan ce of 0.5m will be maintained in a horizontal projection. If these clearances ca nnot be maintained the cables will be laid in ducts. Oil Pipe Lines The minimum distance between the cables and the oil pipelines will be 0.5 m. The cable will be protected from any gas lea s. Sewers In parallel layouts of electric cables with sewerage conduits, a minimum distanc e of 0.5 m will be maintained, the cables will be adequately protected if this d istance cannot be maintained. Fuel Storage Tan s There will be a minimum distance of 1.20 meters between cables and fuel storage tan s, apart from providing adequate protection for the electric cables. Foundations of Other Services When there are structural supports for public transport, suspended telecommunica tion wires, street lighting, the electric cables will be laid at a distance of a t least 500mm from the outer extremities of the supports or foundations of the s tructures. This minimum distance shall further be increased to 1.5m if the suppo rt or foundation is subject to continuous stress towards the curb sides. If this separation cannot be maintained a resistant mechanical safety measure mu st be used throughout the length of the support and its foundation, extending to a length of 500mm, on both sides of outer extremes. Crossing of Roads and Railroad Trac s Public Roads When crossing streets and roads cables must be laid at depths of at least 1.2m. The ducts must be durable and mechanically strong, and must have a minimum diame ter of 150mm in order to permit the easy passage of the cables within the tubes. Conditions specified in the Electric Power Act must be observed at all times. S pare ducts must be provided where necessary. Railroad trac s Crossing railroad trac s must be done with conduits laid perpendicular to the tr ac s at a minimum depth of 1.6 m. This depth must be measured from the bottom si de of the trac s crossbars. It is recommended that the crossing ta es place at th

e narrower points of railroad areas. Conditions specified by municipalities and the Railroad companies shall ta e precedence. Crossing Other Services Low Voltage Cables When medium voltage cables cross low voltage cables, a minimum distance of 250mm must be ept between them. If this cannot be achieved, medium voltage and low v oltage cables must be separated by pipes, conduits, or solid bric divisor walls . Medium Voltage Cables When crossing other medium voltage cables, the minimum distance to be observed b etween them is 250mm. If this distance cannot be maintained solid bric s must be laid between them. Telecommunication Wires When crossing telecommunication wires, the electric cables must be situated with in conduits of appropriate mechanical resistance, maintaining a minimum distance of at least 250mm, between the outer sides. The electric cable must be protected in PVC or concrete duct and in such a way t hat it guarantees that the distance between the cables is greater than the minim um established for parallel layouts. The crossing must be at least 1m from a junction box for telecommunications wire s and joints for electric cables will not be installed next to crossings of tele communications cables. Water Steam etc. There should never be a water pipe joint over the cable. A water pipe joint must be at least 2.0 m from a crossing. Gas The minimum distance in crossings with gas pipelines shall be of 250mm. The cros sing shall not be made over gas pipelines joints. Sewers In crossing sewage pipes it is recommended that the electric cable should be abo ve the sewer line where possible. Fuel Depots Electric cable crossings over fuel deposits will be avoided at all times, the el ectric cables must be laid bordering the fuel tan s, maintaining a minimum dista nce of 1.2 metres. Transporting Cable Drums Loading and unloading from truc s or appropriate trailers will always be made th rough an adequate bar that passes through the centre of the cable drum. The cable drums will always be transported upright and never on its side. When several cable drums are transported together they must be aligned bac to b ac and have stopping bloc s to prevent movement. The stoppers should be uniform so that they do not pierce the cable insulation. The stoppers should span the whole length of the cable drum. An alternative to stoppers may be to have wooden pieces nailed to the platform s upporting cable drums. The stoppers will be placed at the reels of the cable dru

ms. The cable drum must not be tied down with ropes, cables or chains. Upon off load ing the cable drum the roll must not drop down from the truc or trailer, a prov isional ramp with an inclination of not more than 1/4 will instead be constructe d in the case where there are no pulleys for lifting the drum. The roll can be r olled of the ramp by means of guide ropes. Sand can be placed at the bottom of t he ramp to act as shoc absorber and bra e for the cable drum. When rolling the drum on the ground the rotational direction must be observed so that the cable does not come loose. When the drum is rolled care must be ta en to ensure that the drum is not rolled on rough ground. Care must also be ta en to ensure the reel is not bro en becau se the splinters can puncture the cable. Where possible the cable drums should not be exposed to the elements. Laying of the Cable The cable drum will be installed on the site in such a way that the cable is ree led out of the top part of the drum and is not forced when the cable is laid. During cable laying the drum will always be supported by means of a mechanical j ac and a bar of the appropriate strength. The base of the jac s will be sufficiently large as to ensure stability during o peration. When ta ing off the wood stoppers care must ensured that the material used in na iling them does no damage to the cable. The cables must always be unrolled and laid with the greatest care to avoid tors ion or in s and always maintaining the correct bending radius of the cables (re f: 3.1) When the cables are being laid the wor ers must be distributed uniformly along t he trench. The cables should also be laid using cable rollers. Mechanical Protection Underground electric lines must be protected against possible brea downs caused by landslides, contact with hard bodies, and clashing of metal tools. For this p urpose, a protective layer of hatari slabs of class 15 concrete will be placed. Warning Signs All cables must have a protection slab placed over the cables buried at least 20 0 mm above the cable layer. When the cables or groups of cables of different vol tages are placed in vertical layers the protection slab must be placed over each layer.
