1.00 Design & Construction of XLPE Cable
Structure of XLPE Cable

The XLPE Cable has the construction of a conductor (copper or aluminum) insulated with the cross-linked polyethylene and then
shielded with metallic screen (corrugated and seamless aluminum or wire shield), to be covered by PVC or polyethylene for anti-
corrosion.

2.00 Manufacturing Process & VCV Line
The system adopted for insulation of the XLPE Cable is VCV and N2 gas is
used for cross linking, and the line is extruded in a vertical type. The
outstanding characteristics of the XLPE Cable manufactured in application of
this system are :
1. The insulation has no eccentricity.

2. The cross-linking by use of N 2 gas guarantees excellent electrical
characteristics of the insulation.
3. The simultaneous extrusion of the inner and outer semi-conducting layers
and the insulation prevents treeing and other irregularities.
4. Uniformity of quality is maintained of all products as the manufacturing
Conductor processes are controlled by computer.

Extrusion
The conductor screen, the insulation and the insulation screen are simultaneously
extruded with the compounds supplied from the clean room.
Cross-Linking and Cooling

The corss-linking takes place in curing zone of A by circulating N2 gas and the
insulation is formed into core through precooling zone of B and cooling zone of C.
Pay Off
The conductor wound up around
the drum is set at pay off to run to
metering capstan.
Take Up
The cable comes to be wound up again around
the drum to go into the next process.

6.00 Permissible Short Circuit Currents
The permissible short circuit current of a cable is determined by the maximum permissible conductor
temperature and by the duration of the short circuit current. At high peak currents, the dynamic forces
between the conductors must be taken into account.
The short circuit capacity of the conductor and metallic shield of a cable are related principally to their
heat capacities and are limited by the maximum temperature permitted under short circuit XLPE power
are as follow.
From the two graphs, the short circuit capacity of copper or aluminum conductors (based on a
temperature rise from 90 to 250 ) can be determined.
Logarithmic interpolation between the curves will give estimated values for the various duration.
The curves may be used also to determine the amount of conducting material required to carry a known
short circuit current for a given duration.

The outdoor terminations for 66~110kV are classified on two types.
One is based on silicone rubber sleeve(so called Pre-moulded type,
Figure1). The other is based on silicone rubber housing(so called dry
type, Figure2). Pre-moulded silicone rubber sleeve is designed to fit
with controlled interference over the cable insulation and is able to
follow the cable's diameter variations still guaranteeing under any
service condition a sufficient positive pressure to control the electric
field concentration. This uses elastic retention of silicone material itself.
The termination is filled with an insulating compound up to a level
where the electric field is substantially reduced. The termination base
plate and the cable's metallic sheath are electrically insulated from the
supporting structure by means of stand off insulators designed to withstand both mechanical and electrical stresses in
services. Upon request of the customer, either porcelain or composite hollow insulator can be supplied. And the
insulator can be supplied in brown or grey color. The maximum allowable cable conductor size is 3000mm2(6000kcmil).
The latter uses pre-moulded silicone housing with built in sleeve. They completely free from any Liquid insulating
materials. The high electrical field area of the termination surface covered with skirts.
The housing is whole preformed and can be supplied in grey color. This has advantage like easier installation. The
maximum allowable cable conductor size 3000mm2(6000kcmil). The main insulation components are fully examined
and tested in the factory.

Coffin Box Ferrule Joint Sleeve Metal Casing
The single piece pre-moulded type rubber joint is based on silicone insulation embedded with two semi-conductive
stress relief cones and one high voltage electrode. Without any mechanical devices, the interface pressure is safely
maintained with elastic retention of material itself. Semi-conductive stress relief cones and electrode are designed to fit
with controlled interference over the cable insulation and is able to follow the cable' s diameter variations still
guaranteeing under any service condition a sufficient positive pressure to control the electric field concentration. Upon
request of the customer, outer casing is designed(metalic casing, coffin box, and metalic casing with coffin box). They
use filling compound in outer casing. In case of sheath sectionalizing joint, we use insulating plate made of epoxy or
FRP to disconnect between cable sheathes. The main insulation components and outer casing components are factory-
made and fully tested before delivering to the site. The cost-efficient and simplified design along with easy and fast
installation meets the various needs of customers. Installation tools can be provided if requested by customers. They are
currently available at the voltage range up to 500kV and the maximum allowable conductor size is
3000mm2(6000kcmil).

7.07 Link Box
Buried Type : Link Box for cross bonding(3-1Way)
Gantry Mounted Type : Link Box for Earthing(3-1Way)

Link Boxes are used at the end of cable termination to gain easy access to
the cable metallic sheath and to limit the transient over-voltage induced
on the metallic sheath by the lighting, switching operations and fault
currents. Cross bonding(C.B.) link boxes allow metallic sheath to be
transposed at cable joints with surge voltage suppression and reduction of
circulation currents. Sheath voltage limiters(SVLs) in link box are the
gapless ZnO arresters, which have the insulation resistance above 100M
at test voltage so that the sheath insulation can be checked without
disconnection SVLs.
