Conclusions „ „ „

„

Standards and Specifications affect every aspect of how we design our cable systems. Many Standards and Specifications are interrelated. Individual Company specifications should coordinate with these industry standards for an optimal cable system design. Industry Guides may be used to gain greater insight into the application of the cable system 67

Standards, Specs, and Codes A technical standard is an established norm or requirement. It is usually a formal document that establishes uniform engineering or technical criteria, methods, processes, and practices. „ A specification is an explicit set of requirements to be satisfied by a material, product, or service „

What are MCM and kcmil ? • • • •

Answer: Thousands of circular mils M and k: M = Roman Numeral; MKS abbreviation for thousand 1 mil = 0.001” (¼” = 0.25” = 250 mils; 1” = 1000 mils) CM and cmil = circular mil (area of a circle w/o ‫)ח‬



If Area (sq in.) = ‫ ח‬r2

• Then 1 circular mil = D2 (diameter of wire in mils squared) • Example Thus for a solid #10 awg wire – Diameter = 0.1019” or 101.9 mils – CM area = (101.9)2 = 10,380 circular mils AWG- American Wire Gauge

CMA Calculation for 500 MCM Conductor For a 500 mcm (class B – 37 x 0.1162”) Diameter of = 0.1162” or 116.2 mils area of 1X = (116.2 mils)2 = 13,502 circular mils (13,502 circular mils) x (37) = ~500,000 circular mils 500,000 circular mils = 500 mcm (or kcmil) For a 500 mcm (class I – 1225 x 0.0201”) Diameter of = 0.0201” or 20.1 mils area of 1X = (20.1 mils)2 = 404 circular mils

Conductors - Classes 500 mcm Class B – 37 wires (116.2 mils/wire) Class C – 61 wires (90.5 mils/wire) Class H – 427 wires (34.2 mils/wire) Class I – 1225 wires (20.1 mils/wire)

(404 circular mils) x (1225) = ~500,000 circular mils 500,000 circular mils = 500 mcm (or kcmil)

Class B Conductor Stranding Types All three have the SAME cross sectional area i.e. all are 500 kcmil. The main difference is that the concentric has a large amount of space between the individual strands that is not accounted for in the cross section area calculation. Conversely the compact round conductor has very little trapped area between the strand Trapped air

Compact vs. Compressed in a Connector • When compressed into the same size connector, both the compact conductor AND compressed look almost identical since they both have the same cross sectional area (the area is based on the area of EACH individual strand times the number of strands. • The cross sectional area is NOT based on the overall diameter of the conductor.

They were then crimped using 500 mcm die and then cut across the crimps

Why? • Connectors are designed based on compression ratio. • The compression ratio is the area of the conductor (not counting the air gaps between the strands) and the area of the connector before and after the crimp. • The area of the conductor (again not counting the air gaps between the strands) is the same for both the compressed and compact conductor.

Connectors for Pre-Molded Accessories ( Elbows, Tee-Bodies, Splices, etc) • Shorter crimp length • Heavy wall of rubber

American Wire Gauge (AWG) • In order to make a # 10 awg wire from a 5/16” Cu or Al rod, the rod must be drawn through - 10 die. • Likewise, a #24 awg must go through 24 die.

American Wire Gauge (AWG) • • • • •

Industry standard for electrical wire. Based on 40 sizes between #36 and 4/0. OD of a 4/0 = 0.46” (~ 0.50”) OD of a #36 = 0.0050” Using geometric progression, the ratio OD diameters is: OR

Therefore an increase in AWG size increases OD by 12.3%

The End Result • A #10 awg has: – – – –

OD = 0.10” Area = 10, 380 circular mils DC Resistance = 1 ohm/mft (copper) Weight = 10 π (or 31.4 lbs/mft)

• Increasing or decreasing 10 awg sizes changes the area, resistance and weight by a factor of 10. –#10 to #20 –10, 380 to 1,020 cm –0.999 to 10.1 ohms/mft –31.4 to 3.1 lbs/mft

Not • Not - Function: adverb Etymology: Middle English, alteration of nought, from nought, • 1 —used as a function word to make negative a group of words or a word • 2 —used as a function word to stand for the negative of a preceding group of words

5000 lbs coils (bales) of 5/16” copper rod in Paterson.

The Not’s You can determine the OD of 40 different sizes from a #36 up to a 4/0. Using: To determine the the OD of a #24, substitute 24 for n; likewise for a #1, n = 1. In order to determine the next larger size above #1 (remember there are 40 sizes) n = 0 (Or 1 zero aka 1/0). Now for a 2/0 substitute n = -1, for 3/0 n = -2 and for 4/0 n = -3. Calling the sizes -1,-2 and -3 does not play well, so they are are called 1/0, 2/0, etc..

AWG Trivia An increase of 1 AWG size → 12.3% OD increase → 26.1% Area increase

↑ # 2 to #1 (solid) → 257.6 mils * 1.123 = 289.3 → 66,360 cm * 1.261 = 83,680

An increase of 2 AWG sizes ↑ #14 to #12 (solid) → 64.1 mils * 1.261 = 80.8 → 26.1% OD increase → 4110 cm * 1.59 = 6,535 → 59 % Area increase An increase in 2 AWG sized yields ~60% weight increase. For example a #12 weighs 20.1 lbs/mft versus 12.66 for a #14. Romex, 250 ft - 14/2 w/g $55 Romex, 250 ft - 12/2 w/g $84

Why is a Shield Needed? • Controls stresses within the insulation – Permits thinner insulation • Confines field within shield – No potential on surface of cable • Controls discharge to ground • Above 2000 volts is when the above becomes apparent.

Shielding • • • • • • • • •

Confines the electrical field within the insulation. Reduces the chance of electrical shock Provides a symmetrical distribution of stress Prevents surface discharge Reduces electrical interference Monitor voltage Provides a path for fault currents Can be used as a neutral Can affect ampacity rating (circulating current)

Effect of Fault Current in Shield on Jacket

Factors to Consider for Shield Design • • • •

Fault current capability Use as neutral (single phase or 3 phase) Shield voltage (single point grounding) Shield circulating current (multi-point grdg) and its effect on ampacity • Flexibility and minimum bending radius • Ease of making ground connections

• • • •

Fault current returning to ground on the shield will produce higher than normal heat. Excessive heat can melt the overlying jacket. A lower the resistance shield, produces less heat. Adding more copper (wires, tape, armor) lowers the shield resistance.

Splicing ƒ A splice can be defined as two or more conductors joined with a suitable connector and reinsulated, reshielded, and rejacketed with compatible materials applied to a properly prepared surface.

ƒ Or simply, Rebuilding the cable!

Insulation z

z

Provides dielectric integrity in areas of intense electric stress associated with the disruption and compression of the electric field. Ê Good dielectric insulating properties Ê Good thermal conductivity properties Provides and maintains the integrity of all interfaces 4 Bonded internal interfaces 4 Cable insulation interface 4 Additional internal splice interfaces -- Adapters -- Multiple layers Ê Excellent long-term physical properties
