Safety Warning. Installation

Transcription

1 The NZ Handbook 2011 Edition

2 Safety Warning Cables are insulated and sheathed with stable materials which may contain certain toxic substances including lead. Insulation and sheathing materials should not be chewed or ingested. When XLPE coloured cores are exposed to sunlight or outdoors the UV rays will break down the XLPE. Therefore they should be made safe from the effects of the UV by adding some form of UV protection. Installation Cables must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the latest issue of AS/NZS 3000 or the appropriate ruling standard in the country of installation. Cables must also be connected by a licensed electrician, as ruled in the state or country of installation. Olex New Zealand Limited has taken every precaution to ensure that the information contained in the booklet is in line with the requirements of the appropriate New Zealand Standards and correct electrical practice. However, we accept no liability of any kind with respect to the information presented here. Note Current carrying capacity tables stated in this handbook are based on AS/NZS , Electrical Installations Selection of Cables.

8 Alsecure Envirolex Cables Alsecure Envirolex cables are an extensive range of enhanced performance cables for the construction industry engineered to dramatically reduce environmental impact, particularly under fire conditions, while retaining the excellent mechanical and electrical properties designed into Olex cables. Olex uses a variety of inorganically filled polyolefin based materials to engineer the cables in the Alsecure Envirolex range to meet a wide variety of end uses and performance requirements. Advantages of Alsecure Envirolex cables Cable types from building wires to SWA, to multicore control 90ºC rated superior thermal performance Improved performance under fire conditions: - Flame retardant/self-extinguishing - Reduced acid, gas and smoke generation - Non-corrosive in fire situations - Reduced toxicity of fumes during fire Halogen free (i.e. no chlorine, bromine etc) Lead free No special termination or installation requirements Made in accordance with Australian and New Zealand Standards Alsecure Envirolex cables have been tested according to and comply with the requirements of the single flame tests specified in AS1660. Alsecure Envirolex products include readily strippable cables for general construction purposes as well as the tougher products coonly found in cables with higher fire performance capability. Information on the Alsecure Envirolex range of 2 core plus earth and 3 core flat cables can be found on page 14 of this handbook. Alsecure Envirolex materials can also be used as alternatives to all other low voltage power and control cables. Cables are available on request, subject to minimum production run. Page 6

98 General Technical Information Installation Information General All cables must be installed to comply with the latest New Zealand Wiring Regulations. Moisture Olex cables are manufactured in conditions that exclude moisture, as it is difficult to remove from a finished cable. It is important that precautions are taken during installation to ensure that moisture is not permitted to enter the cable. Cut ends or opened areas must be protected from moisture at all times, including during pulling in. Cables, after cutting, must be re-sealed for storage, by an effective method such as a heat shrinkable cable cap. Single Core Cables The following points relating to single core cables should be noted: 1. Single core cables carrying the phase currents of a single circuit must be installed as closely as possible together, to minimise inductive reactance and voltage drop. The preferred formation for three phase conductors is a "trefoil" or cloverleaf pattern although flat touching formation is also acceptable. Sheaths should be in contact with one another in either case. 2. A single core cable generates an alternating magnetic field around itself which can cause large increases in voltage drop and power loss due to "transformer effect" when ferrous metal (iron and steel) is allowed to encircle the cable. Steel racking or ladder will not induce this effect, but the following must be observed: a. Cable cleats may be of wood, plastic, or non-ferrous metal but steel saddles should not be used on single cores. b. Where three single phase cables pass through a steel bulkhead, they must all pass through the same hole. Where glanding is required, it is usual to cut out a panel and replace this with a non-ferrous (metal or plastic) plate in which the three or four glands are mounted. Cable Support Under fault conditions, single core cables used as phase conductors in a multi-phase system may be subjected to large electromechanical forces which tend to drive them apart. Generally, properly designed cleats spaced at 1500 intervals will provide adequate support to the cable under normal operating conditions. However special consideration may be required if fault currents in excess of 15 ka are anticipated. continued Page 96

99 General Technical Information Installation Information (continued) Green Goo Also known as Green Slime, this phenomenon is characterised by the appearance of a sticky green exudate leaking out of PVC-insulated wiring at locations such as switches, hot points and light fittings. It is a coon occurrence in both Australia and New Zealand. The green goo problem is predominantly associated with older (25+ years) TPS-type cables operating in a warm environment. The exudate comprises a plasticiser that has migrated out of the PVC insulation, coloured due to reaction with the copper conductor, and that has subsequently travelled - by capillary action and/or gravity along the conductor to emerge at a termination point. Due to its stickiness and unsightly colour, the goo has a high nuisance value, however it poses no significant health hazard. It may be cleaned from surfaces by wiping with a rag soaked in a petroleum- or alcohol-based solvent (such as meths). The long-term consequence of the exudate is that it represents a de-plasticising of the insulation, meaning that as the process continues, the PVC will eventually become brittle, and crack. TPS Cables in Polystyrene Thermal Insulation With the increasing use of polystyrene block insulation in houses and caravans, it is important to explain the potential problem that arises when PVC sheathed and insulated cables come into direct contact with this material. The plasticiser that is added to PVC to make it flexible has a tendency to migrate out of the PVC and into materials with which it is in contact, particularly where those materials such as polystyrene and polyurethane - have a great affinity for the plasticiser. This will lead to the PVC s becoming progressively harder and more brittle, while in contrast the polystyrene will appear to melt as it absorbs the plasticiser. The rate of migration is dependent upon the relative thickness of the materials, the temperature, and the amount of surface area in direct contact. Accordingly, the rate of deterioration of the PVC cable can vary considerably under different circumstances. To mitigate the problem it is recoended that the amount of direct contact between the cable and the polystyrene be reduced as much as possible. Effective ways of achieving this include positioning the cable with an air gap between the sheath and the polystyrene, or installing the cable within a rigid PVC or PE conduit. continued Page 97

100 General Technical Information Installation Information (continued) UV Resistance Many polymers, due to their molecular structure, are prone to attack by UV radiation, and because of this will degrade upon continued exposure to sunlight, eventually cracking and splitting. The polyolefin family of materials, such as PE (including XLPE or X-90) and PP is particularly susceptible to deterioration in this manner. PVC is also at risk but noticeably less so, partly because of its structure but also due to the mitigating effects of the fillers, plasticisers and stabilisers that are compounded with it. A simple, effective and cheap material that can be added to plastic compounds to absorb UV radiation is carbon black. However, while this approach is appropriate for sheathing materials, it is not necessarily so for insulating materials as the carbon masks the core colour. Olex New Zealand Limited recoends that the insulation of its cables be protected (covered) from solar radiation at all times, except in those instances where the material has been deliberately modified to guard against the effects of UV, eg, Aerial Bundled Cables (ABC). This covering may simply be the sheath of the cable. Lugs and Links Stranded compacted conductors, either round or sector shaped, must have lugs and links fitted that are manufactured for the same nominal cross-sectional area as the conductor. For example, a 150 ² conductor must have a 150 ² lug or link fitted, and the correct dies, as stated by the manufacturer, used to compress it. Although the lug or link will appear to be loose on the conductor, this is simply because the initial compression of the joint has already taken place during the manufacture of the conductor; the final compression of the joint will be correct. If, for example, a 120 ² lug or link was fitted to a 150 ² conductor, the joint would be over-compressed and likely to fail in service. In addition, the smaller lug in itself would be unable to carry the same maximum current as the larger conductor, particularly with respect to fault currents. Olex New Zealand Limited manufactures conductors to be compatible with lugs and links normally available in New Zealand. Page 98

103 General Technical Information Single Core Cables in Parallel The following are the recoended arrangements of single core cables in parallel. Nonsyetrical arrangements result in different impedances and hence unequal current sharing between parallel legs of the same phase. This should be avoided as it could lead to overheating of some cables. Neutral conductors of Three phase circuits should be located so as not to disturb the syetry of the groups.

104 General Technical Information Bending Radii The safe bending radius for an electric cable is limited by the flexibility of its insulation and sheathing material. When a cable is being installed it may be pulled around several curves in different directions and subjected to dynamic stresses which could cause damage. Consequently the bending radius around which a cable may be pulled is greater than that into which it can be set in its final position. The following recoended minimum bending radii are expressed as a function of the cable diameter and refer to the inside of the curve. In all cases, bending radii should be as large as practicable.

105 General Technical Information Duct Sizes Ducts are another important consideration affecting the pulling operation. Selection of the appropriate duct should be based on internal duct diameter to suit a cable size and wall thickness to prevent deformation during duct installation. The internal finish of the installed ducting should be smooth to prevent cable sheath damage during installation. During cable installation the use of graphite or other coercially available pulling lubricants can also prevent sheath damage and reduce pulling tensions.

106 General Technical Information Pulling Tension Where a cable is to be pulled in using a winch and steel wire rope, the rope may be secured to the cable by any of the following: A cable stocking of steel wire braid A pulling eye attached to the cable conductor A pulling eye over the complete cable end A pulling eye formed from the armour wires The maximum tension which may be used is limited by the tensile strength of the conductors or armour wires, or by the gripping capability of the cable stocking, depending on the method used.

Page 107

110 Cable Selection Four Main Factors In accordance with AS/NZS and AS/NZS 3000, the four main factors which affect the minimum size of cable required for a particular installation are: 1. The cable current-carrying capacity, which is influenced by the cable materials and construction, the conditions of the cable environment and the method of installation due to their effects on the dissipation of heat from the conductors. 2. The voltage drop in the cable circuit, which is a function of load current, load power factor, and length of the cable run. 3. The temperature rise under short-circuit conditions, which is a function of both the magnitude and duration of the short-circuit current and is limited by the cable materials. 4. The maximum fault loop impedance which will still allow the protective device to trip within the specified time. Page 108

111 Cable Selection Procedures To select the cable size required based on the above considerations, follow the steps listed: Current-Carrying Capacity 1 Determine the minimum current for which the cable is to be rated, taking account of the maximum demand of the circuit and the type and rating of the overcurrent protection device. 2 Ascertain how the cables are to be installed, and the conditions in the cable environment. From the tables of rating factors, select any rating factor(s) which are applicable. 3 Divide the rating from step 1 by the appropriate factor(s). 4 From the current rating tables, select a cable which, for the appropriate method of installation, has a tabulated rating not less than the value obtained from 3. Voltage Drop 1 Determine the Load Current I (A) to be carried by the cable, and the Route Length L (m) of the circuit. 2 Establish the maximum voltage drop V d (V) permitted in the circuit (taking account of any other voltage drops in series). 3 Evaluate the equation Vc = 1000 * Vd ( mv/a.m). This value is the maximum mv/a.m I * L figure which will give the required voltage drop. 4 From the voltage drop tables, select a cable for the appropriate method of installation which has a tabulated mv/a.m figure not greater than this value. continued Page 109

112 Cable Selection Procedures (continued) Short Circuit Temperature 1 Determine the Maximum Duration t (s) and Magnitude I sc (A) of the prospective Short Circuit Current. 2 Evaluate the equation I 1 = I sc * t (A). This is the required short circuit rating converted to a one second basis. 3 From the conductor short-circuit ratings tables, select a cable with a rating not less than the value obtained from 2. Fault Loop Impedance 1 Determine the maximum fault loop impedance which will still allow the protective device to trip within the specified time. 2 From the above calculate the maximum length of cable run to comply with the maximum fault loop impedance. Refer to AS/NZS 3000:2007, Clause and Appendix B. General For any circuit, the cable size selected should not be less than the largest of the sizes calculated to meet the above limitations (this is the smallest size which will meet all of the requirements). In practice, the current-carrying capacity will be found to prevail in short-run/high-current circuits while voltage drop considerations will usually prevail in long-run/low-current circuits. It is unusual for short-circuit temperature requirements to determine the conductor size required for 0.6/1 kv cable circuits. Page 110

113 Cable Selection Current Ratings The current carrying capacity of a cable is determined by the following factors: 1. Current flowing in a conductor generates heat and causes the conductor temperature to rise above the ambient temperature. 2. Different methods of installation or the presence of external heat sources such as adjacent cables vary the rate of heat dissipation. 3. The insulation material determines the maximum conductor temperature which can be sustained continuously over the expected life of the cable. The continuous current ratings for Low Voltage (LV) 0.6/1 kv cables given in this handbook have been obtained from AS/NZS In all cases, the ratings given are the single circuit ratings, corresponding to continuous loading at the maximum conductor temperature appropriate to the insulation material. Environmental Conditions The current ratings are based on the following operational conditions: Ambient Air Temperature 30ºC Soil Temperature 15ºC Soil Thermal Resistivity 1.2 K.m/W Depth of Burial 0.5 m Where conditions vary from those on which the ratings are based, appropriate rating factors from Tables 3 to 6 (page 116), need to be applied. Methods of Installation Earthing conductors and lightly loaded neutral conductors of three phase circuits are ignored for current rating purposes and are generally not shown in the graphical representations of the cable and installation methods. Thus, where two single core cables or a two core cable is shown the current rating applies to single phase operation; where three single core cables or a three core cable is shown the current rating applies to two or three phase operation. continued Page 111

114 Cable Selection Current Ratings (continued) Groups of Circuits For groups of circuits unenclosed in air, the spacings and arrangements which need to be maintained to prevent derating are given on Tables 1A & 1B (page 99 & 100). Where underground circuits are spaced by more than 2m from adjacent circuits, no derating applies. Also, if adjacent circuits are operated at less than 35% of their current carrying capacity they may be excluded from considerations as their contribution to mutual heating will be small. Where a number of circuits are installed in close proximity in such a way that they are not thermally independent, the appropriate rating factors from Tables 7 and 8 (page 117) need to be applied. Cables in Parallel For cables operated in parallel, each parallel leg is regarded as a separated circuit for current rating purposes and the appropriate rating factors for grouping are applicable. Refer also to Table 2 (page 101) for the arrangements of single core cables so as to ensure equal current sharing between parallel legs of the same phase. Solar Radiation For cables exposes to direct sunlight, the effect of solar radiation is to increase the surface temperature of the cable and hence limit the temperature rise due to the load in the conductors. Where possible, cables should be shielded from the direct rays of the sun without restricting ventilation. Otherwise, the effect of solar radiation should be taken into account, either by calculation in accordance with IEC 60287, or as an approximation by adding 20ºC to the ambient air temperature and applying the appropriate rating factor.
