Power Cables General
Application
Cables intended for the transmission and
distribution of electrical energy are mainly
used in power plants, in distribution systems and substations of power supply utilities, and in industry.
Laying in the ground
Standard cables are suitable

for most applications.
They are preferably used where overhead
lines are not suitable, e.g. in densely builtup areas, in cities (pedestrian zones), industrial installations and buildings.
For power supply cables there are two
main fields of application with different
stresses (Fig. 1):
Installation in air
Directly

ground
Outdoors
In ducts
Indoors
In concrete
In channels

Fig. 1: Fields of application
Stresses and requirements

For these cables, especially for the insulation (electrical strength) of buried cables,
reliability and a long service life is required.
The power cables from Pirelli Kabel und
Systeme have proven this by an excellent
service experience over decades.
The different stresses determined by the
function form the basis for the definition of
the cable requirements (Fig. 2).

Fig. 2: Stresses determined by the function
In view of the possible external stresses

for power cables, standard cables are suitable for most applications for laying in the
ground (distribution cables) or for installation in air (installation cables) (Fig. 3).
High-voltage cables are often designed
according to the specific stresses of each
special case of application.
The instructions AR 320-220 and AR 320-1220 contain detailed information on the application of cables, e.g. permissible pulling
forces, limit temperatures, bending radii,
cable fixing, storage and transport, etc.
Power cables are classified according

to the rated voltages U0 /U and Um.
Um is the maximum rms value
between phase conductors.
U0 is the rms value between conductor and ground or grounded
metallic covering (concentric conductor, screen, armour, metal sheath).
U0 = U/ 3
U is the rms value between phase
conductors.
For application in three-phase and
single-phase systems the main standard rated voltages in compliance
with IEC 183 are given in Fig. 4.
The maximum continuous operating-voltage at normal operation for low voltage
cables with rated voltage of 0.6/1kV
(Um = 1.2 kV) is
1.8 kV in d.c. systems
3.6 kV in a.c. systems
for PVC-insulated cables having a
concentric conductor or armour and
conductor cross-sectional areas from
240 mm2 and above.
Current ratings
For safe project planning of cable installations, the cross-sectional area of conductor
shall be determined such that the requirement
current-carrying capacity Iz loading Ib
is fulfilled for all operating conditions which
can occur. A distinction is made between
the current-carrying capacity
for normal operation
and for short-circuit
(operation under fault conditions)
Especially in low-voltage systems, the
cross-sectional area of the conductor must
be additionally determined in respect of
the permitted voltage drop U. In order to
avoid thermal overloading of the cable a
suitable protective device also has to be
selected. Besides that, the relevant installation rules shall be observed.
With regard to these criteria, brief instructions for project planning are given
in Part 2 of the book Power Cables and
their Application. They are sufficient for
most cases when using the values listed
in this book. The procedure is shown by
examples.
More comprehensive calculation methods with detailed project planning data can
be taken from Part 1 of the book Power
Cables and their Application.
Order-Nr.: Part 1: A19100-L531-F159-X-7600
Part 2: A19100-L531-F506-X-7600.
For high-voltage cables, the current-carrying capacity is to be examined for each
special case of application. It depends on
a lot of special laying and installation conditions so that it is not possible to give
standard values.
Standards
All types of Pirelli cables are based on national and international standards such as
DIN VDE and IEC. A perfect quality system
according to ISO 9001 ensures a maximum
of reliability of Pirelli cables.

Constructional elements
of cables
Conductors
The conductors comply with IEC 228.
The type and construction of conductor
whether circular solid (RE) or circular
stranded (RM), sector-shaped solid (SE)
or sector-shaped stranded (SM) can be
taken from the relevant tables in the book
Power Cables and their Application,
Part 2. The smallest permissible nominal
cross-sectional areas for circular and sector-shaped conductors are specified in the
relevant standard.
Especially for high-voltage low-pressure
oil-filled cables, circular stranded hollow
conductors (RM...H) are used. For crosssectional areas of 1000 mm2 and above,
special segmental conductors, also known
as Milliken conductors, are used in order
to reduce current losses occurring due to
skin and proximity effects.
Insulation
In the field of cables with extruded insulation, there are three dominating insulation
materials which have proved to be reliable:
PVC for low voltage, EPR up to app. 150 kV
and XLPE up to the highest voltage. XLPE
for PROTOTHEN X cables has a high-grade
insulating compound of polyethylene with
a cross-linked structure which shows excellent properties. Cables above 30 kV up to
500 kV are designed with superclean insulation material because of the very low loss
factor at all operating temperatures. The
permittivity is also relatively low to limit
capacitive power.
The conductor shield and insulation shield
of XLPE-cables are extruded together with
the insulation (triple extrusion) in special
manufacturing processes. So the insulation
screen is generally solidly bonded to the insulation. To remove this insulation screen
during installation of accessories, a special
cutting tool is required.
Designs with easy-strip semiconductive
layers are also available for medium-voltage
cables.
PVC is mainly used for cables designed for
voltages from 1 kV up to and including 6 kV.
Pirelli PROTODUR cables have an insulation based on that material. Compared to
XLPE, these cables have a significantly
higher permittivity.
Oil-impregnated paper, a classic insulation

material, is still used especially for extrahigh-voltage low-pressure oil-filled cables.
The advantages of this type of insulation
are the vast experience that stands behind
it and the high degree of reliability so impressively demonstrated by the fault-free
service of these cables decade after decade.
Identification of cores for
low-voltage cables
Cables with more than 5 cores (control cables) have black cores with white imprinted
numbers. The green-yellow core is to be
used solely as a PE (protective earth) or
PEN (protective earth and neutral) conductor. The blue core is provided for use as a
neutral conductor.
The blue core may be used as a phase conductor if the cable has a concentric conductor or if a neutral conductor is not required.
Concentric conductors, screens,
armor and metal sheaths
Low-voltage cables may be provided with
concentric conductors as protection from
contact if there is a possibility of the cables being exposed to mechanical damage.
Concentric conductors are made of copper.
The data on the cross-sectional area in the
type designation code always refer to the
material of the phase conductors.
For cables with concentric conductors in
distribution systems, the wires of the concentric conductors are laid in waveform
(CEANDER conductor) on the inner covering. These conductors facilitate the installation of the branch joints because the concentric conductor can easily be lifted up and
bundled at one side. It also ensures that
there is sufficient space for connecting
branches to the underlying phase conductors without having to cut the CEANDER
conductor.
Screens are compulsory for all cable types
above 0.6/1 kV. Screens shall consist of
copper. Multicore cables may have individual screened cores or a common screen.
In multi-core cables a steel wire armor may
also be used as a common screen. The
screens which are always grounded ensure protection from contact and carry the
short circuit and earth fault currents. According to DIN VDE 0276-620 the nominal crosssectional area of the screens (geometrical
cross-sectional area) must not fall below the
values in the following table (Fig. 5).
To protect the insulation of PROTODUR or
PROTOTHEN X cables against permanent,
intensive ingress of fuels, oils or solvents,
a lead sheath can be provided under the
PVC sheath or PE-sheath.

Fig. 5: Nominal cross sectional area of phase

conductor
For high-voltage cables a lead sheath is

normally used for low-pressure oil-filled
cables, but it is also available for cables
with XLPE insulation. For high-voltage
PROTOTHEN X cables up to 150 kV, however, normally a screen of round copper
wires with a cross-sectional area of 35 mm2
or 50 mm2 is used together with an aluminum laminated PE sheath.
For all types of insulation used for highvoltage cables, a corrugated Al-sheath is
available. The advantage of such a cable is
the high mechanical rigidity and, under fault
conditions, the high short circuit currentcarrying capacity.
Outer coverings
For low-voltage PROTODUR cables with
PVC insulation and PROTOTHEN X cables
with XLPE insulation, a PVC sheath is normally applied.
Medium-voltage XLPE-insulated cables normally have a sheath of polyethylene which
is more resistant with respect to the mechanical stresses. PVC sheaths can also be
provided, especially for underground mining or indoor installation (flame retardance
according to IEC 60 332-2).
As already mentioned, high-voltage cables
having a screen of round copper wires are
provided with an aluminum laminated PE
sheath consisting of an aluminum tape
coated with PE copolymer on the outer
side and bonded to a black PE sheath. All
other high-voltage cable types are usually
also combined with a PE sheath because
of its high mechanical stability.
Only if there are requirements for flame
retardance according to IEC 60 332-2 a
PVC sheath should be applied instead of
or in addition to the commonly used PE
sheath.

PROTOTHEN X Cable
SIENOPYR cables have the following

excellent characteristics:
Reduced fire propagation performance:
Even in the case of large grouping and
vertical installation of cables, the spread
of fire by cables is prevented (tests according to IEC 60 332-3).
Corrosivity:
No subsequential fire damage because
the materials of these cables are halogenfree and the gas emission is non-corrosive (tests according to IEC 60 754-2).
Low smoke density:
Fire-fighting and rescue operations are
decisively facilitated (tests according to
IEC 61 034).

High- and Extra-High-Voltage Cables

up to 290/500 kV and Accessories
Information on high-voltage cables and accessories is available from Pirelli PKS BU EV.
High-voltage cables are laid and installed
by Siemens on a contractual basis. This
covers all tasks from route planning up to
the final voltage test to be carried out.
The cables and accessories shown on the
following pages are designed for all kinds
of high-voltage transmission of electrical
energy. The main requirements for these
applications are as follows:
Low loss factor tan delta:
This is for low dielectric losses to minimize heating.
Thermal stability of insulation:
This is for a uniform loss factor at all
load fluctuations and overvoltages
occurring in operation.
Electrical stability of insulation:
This is for freedom from partial discharge through effective prevention
of ionization in voids.
All these main requirements are fulfilled
by XLPE-insulated PROTOTHEN X cables
and low-pressure oil-filled cables, together
with Pirelli accessories for high-voltage
cables shown in Fig. 33 to 36 by examples
to demonstrate their typical constructional
elements.
