High voltage cable laying.

Make a sand bed or fine riddled soil bed as per the measurements given in the drawing. All cables and ducts laid into cable trrench should be over protected by a cable protection cover or tape depending upon the highest voltage cable to be protected within the cable duct typically in the uk the following cable protection tapes and covers are used for lv mv and hv cables. Thorne derrick international distribute the most extensive range of cable pulling cable laying equipment to enable the installation of low medium and high voltage power cables into underground trench or duct products also supplied for fibre optic blowing subsea trenching offshore umbilical installations and pulling armoured cables onto cable tray. Steps for direct buried cable laying.

A high voltage cable hv cable is a cable used for electric power transmission at high voltage a cable includes a conductor and insulation cables are considered to be fully insulated. Cables installed into conduits or trays have installation parameters such as maximum pulling tensions sidewall pressure clearance and jamming which must be considered. The cable is installed with the highest precision on the market by using purpose built tools like our cable laying vessel nkt victoria. This means that they have a full rated insulation system which will consist of insulation semi con layers and a metallic shield.

Low voltage cables are usually three core xlpe insulated with aconcentric wave wound neutral and an outer pvc or hdpe sheath. Machinery and equipment for underground cable laying. Our offshore experience covers all cable technologies from massive 3 core high voltage ac cables to simultaneously bundled dc cables with fibre optics. Means awire cable or form of metal designedfor carrying electric.

Lay the cable in the middle of the trench. After taking trench keep clean the trench for the following steps. This drawing shows how to lay a low tension lt power cable single core direct buried method. Other installations such as buried and aerial have different installation parameters.

Insulation resistance of hv cable should be checked by using 5 kv megger after installation and before termination of cables and readings shall be submitted to the consultant. The range of machines manufactured by omac covers all types of hydraulic pullers specifically designed for laying low medium high voltage underground cables fiber optic and for pipes renewal. Installation of cable trench covers cable protection tiles. High voltage cables used by western power are normally.
