Nexans Olex - High Voltage Catalogue

NEXANS OLEX

The voltage drop of a cable is a function of the cable circuit length, the current to be carried and the electrical resistance of the cable. AS/NZS 3000 defines the maximum allowable voltage drop, and for a low voltage electrical installation this is 5% of the nominal supply voltage. The voltage drop allowance must include every section of the electrical installation, that is, all sections from the point of supply up to and including all sub-circuits of the electrical installation. It is quite common that the voltage drop calculation often overrides the cable selection process such that a larger conductor size will be needed compared to that required for purely thermal considerations. It is expected that voltage drop requirements become more influential on relatively long circuit lengths, ie 100 m. The earth fault loop impedance of a circuit is an important safety requirement that ensures the circuit impedance to an earth fault is limited to that which will generate sufficient current in the circuit protective device to cause operation of that device within the required time. The circuit impedance primarily comprises the resistance of the active conductor and the resistance of the protective earth conductor. It is unlikely that earth fault loop impedance requirements will have an impact for short cable circuits, but for very long circuit lengths it may be necessary to increase the earth and/or phase conductor size to limit circuit impedance during an earth fault. The short circuit rating of a cable seldom results in the primary selection of the conductor size, as common practice usually results in the circuit protective device rating being selected to ensure the cable circuit capability is adequately met. None the less the cable short circuit capability must be known to ensure that this occurs. Similar to the first criteria, the short circuit rating of a cable is a function of the conductor material, conductor area, and then the time duration of prospective fault current and the temperature limit of the material in contact with the conductor. When designing an electrical installation all of these criteria must be met and result in the smallest cable size being selected, but none of these criteria consider the cost of losses. Admittedly only the first criteria results in a cable operating at or near its maximum temperature limit and it is no coincidence that this is the criteria where energy efficiency gains can be achieved by changing the way in which we select the cable size by considering energy losses over the life of the installation. The remainder of this article looks at the first criteria and how the consideration of energy loss can have an impact on cable selection. Energy Efficient Cable Selection There is nothing new or novel associated with the calculation of losses of cables. This is a simple equation based on Ohms law and represented by the equation I 2 R, where I represents the current flowing in a conductor and R represents the conductor resistance in Ohms. What is new is that designers and installers do not fully appreciate the cost of these losses. Therefore it is the purpose of this article to increase the awareness of the cost of these losses, the documentation already available and the work done to support the case for an alternative cable selection method based on economic considerations for the total life cost of an electrical installation. The best way to illustrate the impact of I 2 R losses on the total cost of an electrical installation is to present a simple example. Consider the following scenario:-

Every Olex cable is subject to exacting quality control procedures, ensuring rigid testing to relevant standards at every stage of manufacture. The extensive range of Olex bare overhead conductors includes internationally accepted conductor configurations. All-aluminium, contemporary aluminium alloy and steel-reinforced conductor designs are manufactured to Australian Standards and specific customer requirements, including most international standards. Electrical, mechanical and cost considerations determine the selection of a conductor for a particular application. The values of resistance, inductance and, where applicable, capacitance, should be such that voltage regulation, temperature rise and losses will be within acceptable limits when the conductor is carrying the required current load. On high voltage lines, radio interference characteristics or corona losses often dictate the minimum diameters which may be used. Conductor design and span lengths are also determined by AERIAL mechanical loads likely to be imposed by wind or ice, as well as by economic considerations. This catalogue presents the standard range of Olex overhead conductors and cables.
