8 Designing and building modern vessels as: Cruise ships, LNG Tankers, Container ships, FPSOs, specialized and offshore support vessels, is a complex process. The perfect integration of electrical modules will need performing and easy to install electrical cables. Nexans has designed a groundbreaking range of cables which will bring advanced electrical and mechanical performances to shipyards, electrical installers and naval engineering and consultants. Nexans cables bring outstanding benefits and advantages as: Easy installation, enhanced flexibility, easy pulling, easy connecting & stripability, reduced size and weight. Outstanding performances: halogen free, extreme resistance to: Fire, paint, EMC, crush, cold and thermal. In addition, thanks to its customer oriented approach, Nexans has developped a very efficient logistic service and cable management able to serve the most stringent delivery time and requirements. 8

9 POWER CABLES GENERALITIES Shipboard cables manufactured by Nexans are designed for fixed applications on board of commercial or navy vessels. Depending on the mechanical risk exposition, various ranges are proposed: Un-armoured cables with MPRX designation Armoured cables with MPRXCX designation - Conductor: All conductors integrated in Nexans shipboard cables are strictly compliant with the International Electrical Committee IEC 608 Standard. Depending on the application, vessel manufacturers have to choose conductors flexibility, and also, eventually copper protection against corrosion or chemical attack by using tin coated copper. IEC 608 specifies different maximum electrical resistance values for each nominal cross section area, both in class or class 5 conductors, and in bare or tinned copper. In the table below, these values in Ohm/km are given for DC measurement (direct current) at the normative temperature of 0 C. Power copper conductors according to IEC 608 Class Class 5 Cross section (mm ) Number of wires DC Maximum Resistance at 0 C (Ohm/km) Bare copper Tinned copper Max. diameter of wires in conductor DC Maximum Resistance at 0 C (Ohm/km) Bare copper Tinned copper or or or or or or or or or or For different length, or other air ambient temperature, the electrical resistance can be calculated with the formula: Copyright April 03 - Nexans Rt (Ohm/km) R0 (Ohm/km) Kt Rt = R0 x L / Kt where Electrical resistance in DC at a temperature t in C for a length L (km). Maximum electrical resistance value in DC given in the IEC608 at 0 C. Correction temperature factor given in the following table and depending on the room air ambient temperature. 9

10 Correction factors according to IEC 608 IEC 608 standard provides electrical resistance of copper conductors at an ambient temperature of 0 C. For other temperatures, correction factors are applied as below: Temperature ( C) Kt Insulation: Nexans has selected Halogen Free XLPE (cross linked polyethylene) compound for all power LV and MV cables up to 6/0 kv, and Halogen Free EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) for MV cables with 8.7/5 kv or /0 kv voltages. All material characteristics: electrical, mechanical and chemical are complying with the requirements of IEC For fire resistant cables, Nexans has chosen the new INFIT TM technology HF 90 or S95 in IEC that brings many installation advantages, as easy stripping insulation. HF XLPE and HF EPR compounds can be used for a permanent conductor temperature of 90 C; that corresponds to a life time of more than 40 years (Arrhenius ageing curve). These cross linked compounds can also accept a 50 C temperature in case of short circuit. -3 Armour: On board, mechanical risk on cables is quite usual in unprotected spaces, it is the reason why most of them are armoured. As cable weight is important, and is aimed to be minimized, steel tapes or steel wires armour are not used, preference is given to metal braid. That is the best compromise between mechanical protection, weight and installation facility. For all ranges of shipboard cables, Nexans has chosen copper braid armour that also can be used as a screen and an electro magnetic protection. Generally, bare copper braid is used on the commercial vessels. Tinned copper braid armour is only required in offshore projects where hydrogen sulphide can corrode the bare copper. -4 Sheath: Outer sheath is the final protection of the cable. Depending on the cable environment, outer sheath compound must satisfy performances as extreme temperature, solar radiations, oil, grease and various aggressive substances. IEC standard specifies performance values to different tests for sheathing material families: SHF for thermoplastic compounds, and SHF for thermosetting compounds. Of course, these materials are halogen free, low smoke density, low gas toxicity and low gas acidity. For the main ranges of stocked products, Nexans has chosen its own SHF compound that offers a good compromise of performances (cold behaviour + oil drops resistance at ambient temperature). For permanent oil contact, SHF compound is recommended. 0

11 CONTROL & INSTRUMENTATION CABLES Shipboard cables manufactured by Nexans are designed for fixed applications for circuits rated at 50/50 V, and are complying with IEC standard. Multi-cores cables are mainly dedicated for control, and multi pairs, triples or quads are for instrumentation devices. When required, circuit integrity in fire is made by using fire resistant cables complying with IEC 6033 fire tests. Control and Instrumentation cables are proposed in versions: Un-armoured: MPRX /MPRX 33 for control or TX /TX 33 for instrumentation. Armoured: MPRXCX /MPRXCX 33 for control or TCX /TCX 33 for instrumentation. TX and TCX ranges are designed with individual screen over each unit (I) or collective screen over the assembly of units (C). - Conductor: Tinned or bare copper, class stranded conductors with 7 wires are generally required for control and instrumentation links. Nominal cross section areas are: and.5 mm². Due to assembly length factor for large number of unit, electrical resistance are not strictly in accordance with IEC 608, but electrical resistance values are complying with IEC as indicated in the following table: Instrumentation and control conductors in accordance with IEC GENERALITIES Cross section (mm ) Number of wires Class Bare copper DC Maximum Resistance at 0 C (Ohm/km) Tinned copper Insulation: As for the power cables, Nexans s choice is for XLPE compound that offers the best compromise in terms of mechanical and electrical properties. XLPE compound has also a low permittivity value about.3. For fire resistant cables, the new INFIT ttm technology (HF 90 compound in IEC ) has been chosen. -3 Cabling: For instrumentation range, in adjacent units, different cores lay lengths are selected, in order to reduce inductive effects and cross-talks. All units are assembled in concentric layers. Copyright April 03 - Nexans -4 Electrostatic Screen Individual (I) or/and Collective (C): Laminated aluminium bonded to polyester tape with a tinned drain wire is generally used as electrostatic screen with a minimum overlap of 5% of the tape width. Copper braid is also allowed to be used as screening as stated in IEC Armour: As for power cables, armour is made of tinned or bare copper braid. For instrumentation TCX (C) range, the armour is also used to provide the function of a collective screen. -6 Sheath: SHF or SHF Sheathing compounds are in accordance with IEC standard.

12 3 COMMUNICATION CABLES Communication cables include Coaxial, Fieldbus, LAN copper pairs and optical fibres cables. 3- COAXIAL cables: Main characteristic of this family is Impedance that could be 50 Ohms or 75 Ohms. MIL-C-7 Coaxial cables are usually used for onboard high frequency data transmission (communication equipment, radar, and instrumentation) and also carry video signals for surveillance cameras. FLAMEX RG offers exceptional fire safety in single cable. A coaxial cable is often combined with various conductors in a compact hybrid cable for piloting and powering CCTV cameras. 3- FIELDBUS cables: These Halogen-Free Flame and Fire-Retardant cables are dedicated to maritime applications. They have fixed impedance and transmit an extremely precise digital signal to control all essential shipboard functions, like motors, rudder and hydraulic systems. Can Bus cable comes in a single or double pair; while Profibus cable is a single pair and both can be supplied with SHF or SHF outer sheath depending on specification. Adapted from the industrial plant environment, these high performance cables are fully sea resistant and can operate safely in temperatures from -0 C to +70 C. 3-3 LAN (Local Area Network) copper cables: Several categories (Cat 5, Cat 6 and Cat 7) cables designed in 4 pairs are dedicated for high frequency signal and high rate transmissions. 3-4 OPTICAL FIBRE cables: General Overview Optical fibers are mainly used to transmit information over long distances and with high bit rates. Their benefits are numerous: the signal transmitted on the fiber is not disturbed by any electromagnetic wave created by power cables or electric machines. It also provides more security, as these cables can be fully dielectric. Besides, they provide a weight and space saving due to their small diameter, only 50 µm. An optical fiber is made up of three main parts: the core, the cladding and the coating. In the center, the core is made of doped silica and is surrounded by the cladding, made of natural silica. The light signal propagates along the core and the signal is reflected on the surface between the core and the cladding. An acrylic coating, generally made of two layers, is protecting the sillica part against abrasion during installation. Coating Cladding Core

13 Different fiber types are available: Multimode fibers are used for Local Area Networks (LAN) where the network links can be up to,000 meters. Two standard sizes of core are offered: 6.5 µm and 50 µm (with better performances). Multimode fibers have a graded index profile to reduce the dispersion of the signal during the transmission. The high size of the core is interesting for easy connection and does not require high cost test equipment. Singlemode fibers are able to transmit over longer distances. The installation is more delicate as they have a smaller core of 9 µm. This implies more precise connectors and test equipment.

14 On a global network point of view, although the cost of multimode fiber is more important than the singlemode s, the complete system is more economic. Indeed Multimode fibers are used with cheap transmission components LED () or VCSEL () whilst Singlemode fiber operates with more expensive LASER. () LED: Light Emitting Diode () VCSEL: Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser Optical fibers are used at specific wavelength. Multimodes fibers are mainly used at 850 nm and,300 nm and Singlemode are used at,30 nm and,550 nm. The attenuation performances are better at the higher bandwidth with consequently improved transmission performances. Optical fiber can be provided with different characteristics. Indeed the performance need for fiber in patch cord or fiber over one kilometer link are obviously different. The fiber choice is based on optical parameters such as attenuation, bandwidth performances and chromatic dispersion. Different international standards are available to describe the optical fiber characteristics: ITU G65 for Singlemode fiber and IEC for Multimode fibers are worldwide references.

16 Optical fiber connectors Nexans are able to preassemble optical fibers with plugs, we can provide this service in our factory or on site. A fiber optic connector is a non permanent join between two fibers. Standard fiber connectors may be used, as e.g. ST, SC, FC and LC connectors ST Connector (standard) This type of connector is suitable for both multimode fiber and singlemode fiber. The ST connector and the bajonet-holder is the most popular used connector worldwide. STX Europe To achieve the best possible transfer of light signal between fibers, higher quality connector is required as E000 or MT-RJ that is used for fiber modem applications. E000 Connector An E000 connector is a special connector with high level attenuation coefficient. This connector is suitable for multimode fiber and singlemode fiber. Due to the code system, this connector is very user friendly and can also be fit as a single connector or duplex connector The built-in filler cap protects the ferrule against contamination. The filler cap open/close during the connector plug in/out. 6

17 4 FIRE PERFORMANCE Nexans Research Center has adapted a program of constant improvement for insulation and sheathing materials, and cable designs. Some developments ensure fire performance characteristics for the Nexans shipboard cables range as flame and fire retardancy, smoke and fumes emission, fire resistance integrity and cable recycling after life time. Nexans shipboard cables are fully withstanding the requirements of the following IEC standards: 4- Flame retardancy: IEC Test on a single vertical insulated wire or cable This simple test provides an adequate evaluation of the flame retardant characteristic of a single cable. Depending on the cable size (diameter and weight) a regulated flame is continuously applied for a calculated time to the cable. The test is passed if the cable has self extinguished and the burnt portion of the cable has not reached the top of the sample. 4- Fire retardancy: IEC Test on bunched wires or cables Cables, when installed, vertically or horizontally laid, bunched on cable trays, in conduit or pipes, are potential vectors for fire propagation. This test was developed to obtain a method to determine the fire propagation characteristic of a group of bunched cables fixed on a vertical 3.5 m ladder (see Part 0 apparatus). The fire propagation along a bunch of cables depends on: the volume of combustible exposed to fire the geometrical configuration of the cables installation (touching or spaced) the temperature at which it is possible to ignite any emitted gases from the cables the quantity of combustible gas released from the cables the volume of air passing through the cables installation Nexans provides fire retardant IEC6009 series shipboard cables meeting the requirements of the general standard Part 350 that specifies category in touching configuration in one or more layers. IEC standard indicates 5 categories depending on parameters: the volume of combustible material ( insulation, filler and sheaths) the duration of flame exposition ( 0 or 40 minutes) For specific and small cables (diameter < mm), fire test is according to the new category (5 previously D) test category that needs less cable quantity.

18 4-3 Fire resistance: IEC 6033 Test of fire resistance integrity of cables In case of fire, some circuits must maintain the power supply for vital safety equipment as emergency lighting, alarm systems, fire pumps IEC 6033 standard determines the circuit integrity of a cable during and after a prolonged fire with different test equipments and test methods: flame at 750 C temperature during 90 minutes applied to a horizontal cable under the nominal voltage Part - apparatus and Part - procedure and requirements flame at 850 C temperature during 90 minutes with shocks on the ladder support applied to a cable under the nominal voltage Part - for cable diameter > 0 mm, Part - for cable diameter 0 mm for data cables Part 3 - procedure and requirement for optical fiber cables Part 5 - procedure and requirement For electrical cables, tests are passed if no breakdown occurs (no failure of the fuses). Nexans proposes a large range: power, control and instrumentation of fire resistant shipboard cables. To meet these requirements, Nexans offers the traditional technology with lapped mica tape + extruded XLPE insulation system; and has developed a specific INFIT TM technology with HF90 and S95 extruded compounds. This new insulation gives installation advantages: easier insulation stripping and secured connexions.

19 4-4 Measurements of combustion gases: IEC Part & Part : this test permits the determination of the amount of halogen gas emitted during the combustion of the different polymeric compounds (insulation, filler, sheaths) taken from a cable. Part : this test determinates the degree of acidity of gases by measuring ph and conductivity. GENERALITIES 4-5 Smoke density: IEC 6034 (7 m 3 chamber) In case of fire; smoke emissions considerably reduce the visibility on board. Passenger evacuation has to be held in a very short time. Therefore materials used in ships should not spread a lot of opaque smoke. Nexans shipboard cables are designed to withstand the requirements of IEC 6034 based on the 7 m 3 test developed by the London Transport Executive Research Laboratory. This test permits to measure the opacity of smoke emitted from burning cables (light transmittance). Part : apparatus including light measurement, fire source, smoke mixing method and qualification procedure Part : procedure and requirements. Measurements test equipment of combustion gases according to the IEC / Copyright April 03 - Nexans Measurement of smoke opacity - 7m 3 - Chamber 9

20 5 PULLING & INSTALLATION In order to reduce pulling and installation time, Nexans has designed a cable range which offers: time saving on connexions by easy sheath and insulation stripping reduced weight, diameter and volume easier drawing due to low friction coefficient of polyolefin outer sheath compound. Nexans decides to distinguish main cable circuits by different outer sheath colours: red for medium voltage cables (from.8/3 kv up to /0 kv) black for power and control cables rated 0.6/ kv grey for instrumentation and control cables rated 50/50 V orange for all types fire resistant cables blue for intrinsic circuit cables In order to avoid unwanted effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) as far as possible, Nexans recommends to separate on different cable trays, power circuits from control, instrumentation or communication circuits. 5- Pulling The process of pulling electrical cables on board of marine vessels is relatively a usual procedure. Nevertheless, Nexans would suggest some following rules to avoid any cable degradation and damage. Prior to start, care must be taken to ensure that the pulling equipment directly attached to the cable is tightly fitted over the complete cable and not only to one cable element such as the outer sheath, armour or conductors. The maximum pulling force exerted on the cable must not exceed 50 N/mm² (of nominal cross section area of the conductors) whether the cable is being manually pulled or with a winch or other mechanical equipment. If the cable link is pre-cut before pulling, the cable has to be correctly coiled to avoid any over twist. Pre-cut cable ends, in waiting position before final installation and connexion must be protected. All cable runs must be smooth and clean or covered with a complementary protection to prevent any outer sheath damage. When several cables are pulled together, talcum is recommended to limit friction and abrasion between cables and to ease the pulling process with better cables sliding. Where cables have to be pulled perpendicularly to other cables already installed, it is advised to protect them to avoid abrasion damage. Cables have to be pulled with a slow and regular speed about 0 m/minute, and with a minimum outer temperature of -5 C. It is always necessary, to store cables in warmed premises at an ambient temperature of + 0 C for hours. A longer period might be necessary for large drums. 5- Installation Cables installation must be in accordance with certification Bodies rules, and also with IEC or IEC Some recommendations are given as follow about: special precautions for single-core cables for A.C. wiring minimum bending radius parallel cable links solar to sun rays in open areas. 5-- Precautions for single-core cables: In order to reduce electro-dynamic forces when a short circuit appears, symmetric method for cable installation is recommended as is shown in the following table (L, L and L3 indicates the location of the respective phase conductor). See st template on opposite page. 5-- Minimum bending radius: To limit the stress (elongation/compression) on insulation and sheath materials when cable are bent, rules about minimum internal bending radius have to be respected: in fixed installations during pulling and installation Values for these MBR stated in IEC and IEC are given in the following table. See nd template on opposite page. 0

Copyright April 03 - Nexans 5--4 Exposure to the sun in open areas: Cables with black sheaths are intended for direct UV exposure. Cables with other sheath colors are sensitive to UV without impact on the electrical functionality and the performances in terms of fire propagation and smoke emission. Nexans recommends to protect cables which are sensitive to UV by UV-proof hoods installed over those. When cables are installed in luminaries or lighting, specific protection of insulation and cables must be applied as required in IEC

22 6 ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS For power, low voltage and medium voltage cables, cross section nominal areas are calculated in taking into account several parameters as: permissible current carrying capacities voltage drop short circuit values 6- Permissible current carrying capacities: Permissible current carrying capacities are stated by the rules of the vessel approval authority and in line with IEC and IEC standards. These values are applicable for DC and AC with a nominal frequency of 50 Hz or 60Hz. For higher frequency, current ratings shall be calculated with appropriate method. First, these values depend on the temperature class of the cable, and mainly on the maximum service temperature suitable for the insulation compound. Nowadays, in shipbuilding industry, 90 C rated cables are mostly installed on board. Other important parameters are to be taken into account for the choice of the nominal cross section areas of conductors: ambient temperature mutual heating effect due to cables grouping short time duty solar radiation This catalogue gives only an extract of IEC standard that selected methods for the determination of current carrying capacities for continuous service. These methods are derived from experimental data and from IEC 6087 (Electric cables- Calculation of current rating). Method A: calculation with the formula I = A S m B S n where I is the current rating capacity (in Ampere). S is the nominal cross section area of conductor (in mm²). A and B are coefficients, m and n are exponents according to cable type and method of installation. This method allows for greater choice of use in different installation configurations (see IEC and/or IEC ). Method B: calculation with the formula I = A S 0.65 where I is the current rating capacity (in Ampere). S is the nominal cross section area of conductor (in mm²). A is a coefficient depending on the conductor temperature class, e.g. A = 8 for MPRX and MPRXCX cables. The following table gives current carrying capacities in continuous service for 85 C and 90 C rated cables for an ambient air temperature of 45 C Conductor temperature: 85 C Nominal cross-sectional area mm Current carrying capacity Single core (A) cores (A) 3 or 4 cores (A)

23 Conductor temperature: 90 C Nominal cross-sectional area mm Current carrying capacity Single core (A) cores (A) 3 or 4 cores (A) GENERALITIES 6-- Correction factor for different ambient temperature For other ambient air temperatures, correction factors have to be applied. Ambient temperature 35 C 40 C 45 C 50 C 55 C 60 C 65 C 70 C 75 C 80 C Correction factor for cables grouping When cables are installed in group, due to thermal effect, a correction factor 0.85 must be applied to reduce the current carrying capacities. Current ratings are recommended as being applicable to both unarmoured and armoured cables laid in free air as a group of 4 bunched together. These ratings may be considered applicable, without correction factors for a group of maximum 6 cables bunched together on cable trays, operating simultaneously at their full rated capacity, without free air circulation around them. When, it is to be expected that air temperature around cables could be higher than 45 C (due to heat transfer or in compartments where heat is produced) the current rating given in the table shall be reduced Correction factor for short time duty Correction factor could be also applied to maximise current ratings when cables are operating during a short period (less than hour). This factor depends on the cable time constant and also on the cable diameter. For more details, see IEC Copyright April 03 - Nexans 6--4 Correction factor for U.V. solar radiation Nexans recommends shielding cables from direct solar exposition. For cables with black or grey sheath, in case of solar radiation, a correction factors must be applied to the current carrying capacities given in the table : 0.8 for black colour of outer sheath 0.9 for light colour of outer sheath (e.g. light grey) Cables with other colors are not intended for direct UV. 3

24 6- Voltage drop: Current carrying in an electrical link induces a voltage drop. This value is the difference between the measured voltages at both ends of the link. In general, accepted values (in percentage) are 3% for lighting and 5% for motors or other uses. Voltage drop depends on: type of current: direct current (DC) or alternative current (AC) in single or tri-phased systems length of the link : directly proportional carrying current (amperage) and power factor (cos phi) cable and conductor electrical parameters: electrical resistance and inductance. In direct current system: DU = L R I In single phased alternative current system: DU = L I (R cos j + Z sin j) In tri-phased alternative current system: DU = L I 3 (R cos j + Z Sin j) DU R L I where voltage drop (in Volts). electrical conductor resistance in operating temperature (in Ohm/km). cable length (in km). current rating value (in Ampere). Cos j power factor, if no details, power factor is cos j = 0.8 and sin j = 0.6. Z reactance (in Ohm/km). For a quick calculation, the following table gives the voltage drop for most of low voltage cables with XLPE (90 C temperature class) and for various values of cos j. Values are for a tri-phased system (3 or 4 conductor cable, or 3 single core cables). Cross-section area (mm ) cos j = cos j = 0.9 Voltage drop (V/ A x km) cos j = 0.8 cos j =

25 6-3 Short circuit values: Cables and their insulated conductors must withstand the thermal effect produced by the short circuit which can flow in the circuit. As the duration is low, normally less than 5 seconds, adiabatic heating in insulation compound is only considered. The short circuit current rating calculation is based on the difference of conductor temperature before and at the end of the short circuit. These temperatures are depending on the insulation compound, e.g. for XLPE, initial temperature is 90 C (maximum operating conductor temperature) and final max temperature is 50 C. Short circuit current ratings are also depending on the duration of the short circuit before the setting off the electrical protection (circuit breaker or fuse). The following table gives values for cables insulated with XLPE, HEPR, S95 and HF90 compounds as MPRX, MPRXCX, MPRX 33 and MPRXCX 33. GENERALITIES Cross sectional area (mm ) Short circuit current ratings (A) Time duration (s) 0.s 0.s 0.5s s For other short circuit duration, the maximum short circuit rating is calculated with the formula: I sc = A/ t where I sc is the short circuit rating during t second. t is the short circuit duration.

26 7 ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS FOR INSTRUMENTATION CABLES For instrumentation cables, main electrical parameters are: electrical resistance and loop resistance current ratings voltage drop mutual capacitance loop inductance and L/R ratio insulation resistance (conductors, screen, armour) All these values are given in the following table for Nexans TX and TCX range with bare copper conductor. Number of 0.5 mm 0.75 mm.5 mm pairs Electrical conductor resistance in DC at 0 C (Ohm/km) Loop resistance (Ohm/km) Current carrying capacity (A) Voltage drop in DC (V/A.km) 4 p 8 4 > 4 p Capacitance at khz Individual screen (nf/km) Capacitance at khz Collective screen (nf/km) Capacitance for 33 types with HF 90 compound Individual screen (nf/km) p p p to 4 p 5 to 49 p 5 to 48 p 54 to 5 p Loop Inductance (mh/km) at khz L/R ratio at 0 C Cores insulation resistance (M Ohm - km) Screen insulation resistance (M Ohm - km) Screen/Armour insulation resistance (M Ohm - km) > 000 > 000 > 800 > > > > 0.5 > 0.5 > 0.5 Permissible current carrying capacity is given for an ambient temperature of 45 C and for a maximum conductor temperature of 90 C. 6

27 An other important parameter for these instrumentation cables could be the screen efficiency and the transfer impedance value designated by Zt. Nexans has studied screening efficiency for TX and TCX range. Curves (transfer impedance related to frequency) have been established for various 7 pairs. Transfer impedance Value (Zt) according to the frequency (F) GENERALITIES Zt (mw/m) F (khz) Copyright April 03 - Nexans TX (C): (Unarmoured, collective screen) Electromagnetic screening of the TX (C) cable is simple electromagnetic surroundings. TX (I): (Unarmoured, individual screen) TX (I) is an excellent compromise between TX (C) and TCX (C) cables. and shows a medium protection in polluted TCX (C): (Armoured, collective screen) The TCX (C) cable shows a low transfer impedance in low frequency and an effective screening in high frequency. TCX (C) would be recommended in polluted electromagnetic surroundings. TCX (I): (Armoured, individual screen) This cable type shows an excellent protection in both low and high frequency runs. 7
