Annexure-A Technical Specifications For Heat Shrinkable Cable Terminations and Joints For 6.6kV, XLPE Cables
Annexure-A Technical Specifications For Heat Shrinkable Cable Terminations and Joints For 6.6kV, XLPE Cables
Annexure-A Technical Specifications For Heat Shrinkable Cable Terminations and Joints For 6.6kV, XLPE Cables
1. SCOPE:
This specification defines the requirements for Cable Joints and
Terminations for XLPE insulted power cables for 6.6kV. The requirements
cover the material properties of the components used in the Cable Joints
and Terminations as well as the performance of these products after
installation on cables. Heat shrinkable components are based on polymeric
materials and are to be supplied in an expanded state. Heating of these
components to a temperature generally above 120°C would activate their
elastic memory and cause these components to recover or shrink down on
a substrate within a specific application range.
2. SYSTEM DATA:
The distribution system in which the cables along with the joints and
terminations are expected to perform reliably over a period of 30-35 years,
is a three phase, 3-wire System operating at 6.6kV with solidly
earthed/unearthed neutral at the source neutral terminal with maximum
possible continuous voltages being 7.2kV, and cable conductor
temperatures up to 90°C on a continuous basis and under short circuit
conditions up to 250°C.
3. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
All materials used and products provided under this specification must be
in accordance with the standards listed in clause 9 of this specification.
Kits referred for single core cables shall include materials for terminations
or joints for single core cables.
7. TERMINATIONS:
The termination design offered for both Indoor and Outdoor Application
shall comprise of a single non-tracking, erosion and weather resistant heat
shrinkable tubing, which is combined with a ceramic based, highly non
linear stress control system forming an integral layer inside the tubing.
The Tenderer must submit electrical field calculations to show that the
ceramic stress control system will not allow a stress level exceeding 1.5
kV/mm even under Impulse voltages upto 170kV.
d) Data of the stress relieving void filling mastic, must include the
volume resistivity and permittivity of the material.
