Design & Construction

XLPE(Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulated cables have been widely used for electric power distribution of voltage up to 30kV grade since they
were developed in 1960 to replace the paper insulated cables and other thermoplastic insulated cables. XLPE cables have many excellent characteristics,
especially for use in higher operating temperature. Generally PE insulated cables can be used in maximum operating temperature of 70°C and paper
insulated cables in 85°C, but XLPE cables, which have more compact crystallinity than PE by cross-linking process, can be used up to 90°C in normal
condition.
The major merits of XLPE cables can be illustrated as follows;
·Excellent electrical properties
·Higher operating temperature, higher current capacity
·Excellent physical and mechanical properties
·Anti-chemical properties
·Ease of jointing, installation and maintenance

XLPE cables, however, had been scarcely used for extra high voltage exceeding 30kV grade because of its weakness for water treeing phenomena which
occurs in the insulation in long-term operating situation. Water treeing is the phenomena of gradual insulation destroying due to water concentration
onto some weak points in the insulation.
The water can be invaded through the polymeric materials in gaseous states and /or contained in insulation materials together with small voids and
impurities during extrusion, steam-curing and cooling process. These waters can be concentrated onto weak points due to high electric intensity and
repeating switching operation, and eventually formed a tree-shaped tunnel from inside to outer surface of insulation.
But nowadays, with the aid of technical development in cable manufacturing field, water treeing phenomena cannot be an obstacle any more to extent
the voltage grade higher. Water invasion from the outside of cable can be prevented by adopting water-proof seamless metal sheath and water contents
in insulation during manufacturing process can be practically minimized by adopting dry curing cross-linking process instead of steam-curing method.
Many researches and developments are accomplished in many developed countries including ourselves and it shows excellent operating experiences.
66kV and 77kV grade XLPE cables have already been used since early 1970s and now XLPE cables up to and including 230kV grade are popularly being
adopted for power transmission lines. 345kV grade and 500kV grade cables are also developed and under operations.

 Structure Details

Scope
This specification applies to materials and constructions of cross-linked poly-ethylene (XLPE) cables for extra high voltage transmission of rated voltage
from 66kV grade up to and including 500kV grade. This specification deals manufacturer’s standard models of the cable, however any other models as for
buyer’s standard are also available.

Conductor
The conductor shall be formed from plain copper or aluminum complying with Korean Standard KS C 3101, British Standard 6360/6791, IEC Publication
60228 or ICEA S-108-720. The conductor shall be stranded circular, compacted circular, or segmental compacted circular. Segmental compacted circular
conductors shall be applied to cables of conductor nominal cross-sectional areas of 800mm above.

Conductor Shielding
Conductor shielding of an extruded semi-conducting thermosetting compound shall be applied over the conductor. One or two layer of semi-conducting
tape(s) may be applied with a proper lapping between the conductor and the extruded semi-conducting layer.

Insulation
The insulation shall be of dry-cured XLPE compound with a thickness to meet dimensional, electrical and physical requirements specified. The
compound shall be high quality, heat-, moisture-, ozone- and resistant. This insulation shall be suitable for operation in wet or dry locations at conductor
temperature not exceeding 90°C for normal condition, 130°C for emergency overload conditions and 250°C for short circuit conditions.

Insulation Thickness
The insulation thickness of XLPE cable must be based on its ability to withstand lightening impulse voltage as well as operating voltage throughout
its expected life. For the design of XLPE cable, the nominal thickness of insulation is determined by AC withstand voltage (VAC) or impulse with stand
voltage (Vimp), that can be determined by following formula. Larger value of TAC and Timp should be determined as minimum thickness of insulation.

Insulation Shielding
The insulation shielding shall be applied direct upon the insulation and shall consist of either a semi-conducting tape or a layer of extruded semi-
conducting compound, or combination of these materials. The extruded semi-conducting compound shall be a thermosetting or thermosetting compound
and firmly and totally bonded to the insulation.

Metallic Layer
The metallic layer can be applied over the insulation shielding to reinforce the capability of carrying fault current specified, if required. The metallic layer
will be one of the next forms.

Inner Plastic Bedding

If required, extruded layer of a thermoplastic compound, PVC or PE can be applied.

XLPE CABLE
Metal Tape Moisture Barrier
When the moisture barrier required, a layer of aluminum tape laminated at both or outer side with copolymer shall be applied longitudinally over the
cable core with an overlap so as to lap parts of the tape on each other.

Outer Jacket
The outer jacket shall consist of thermoplastic compound (PVC, PE or similar materials) extruded continuously over the metallic layer or moisture barrier.
A bituminous compound primer shall be applied under the outer jacket to protect the sheath against local corrosion when corrugated aluminum sheath
or lead alloy sheath is adopted.

Copper Wire Shield (CWS)

When a layer of copper wire shield is required, it shall be applied directly over the insulation shielding with a length of lay of approximately 10 times the
diameter over the screen conductors and with gaps not less than 0.1mm, if not specified. One or more layers of suitable separator tape may be applied
helically over a layer of CWS.

Corrugated Aluminum Sheath

When the corrugated aluminum sheath is required, it shall be applied by extrusion and then passing through a corrugating head. The corrugating head
contains rotating dies to form the valleys between the ribs like sine wave and produce to correct diameter of sheath to fit over the insulation. The sheath
shall be free from pinholes flaws and other imperfections. When the aluminum sheath is applied directly over the extruded semi-conducting layer or
inner plastic bedding, suitable non-metallic tape(s) can be applied under the aluminum sheath to prevent heat transfer onto the plastic material during
the manufacturing.

Lead Sheath
When the lead alloy sheath is required, it shall be applied by a continuous screw extrusion in high quality, smooth surface and free from pinholes and
any other imperfections including one associated with oxide inclusions. When the lead sheath is applied directly over the extruded semi-conducting layer
or inner plastic bedding, suitable non-magnetic tape(s) can be applied under the lead sheath to prevent heat transfer onto the plastic material during the
manufacturing. The composition of lead alloy of composition of Cu 0.04%, Te 0.04% and the remainder for lead will be applied.

Smooth Sheath
The smooth sheath transmission cable is easy to develop the reduced diameter cable compared to the existing cable. Therefore, the construction cost of
underground transmission can be reduced. Also, when the old cable is replaced, it is possible to increase the capacity by replacing the small conductor
cable installed with the large conductor cable.

LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) or Low Smoke Free of Halogen (LSFH) is a material that improves safety due to low smoke and low choking probability
when the cable is burned. So it is typically used for cable jacketing in the wire and cable industry. LSZH cable jacketing is composed of thermoplastic or
thermoset compounds that emit limited smoke and no halogen when exposed to high sources of heat.

Vertical Type Continuous Vulcanizing Equipment

In case of Extra High Voltage Cable, the insulation thickness is so thick that center of the conductor and the insulation was not coincided each other
when catenary type vulcanizing system was adopted. Due to the considerable eccentricity of the insulated core, the insulation thickness should be
thicker than the electrically required value.
Our facility of vulcanizing process is installed in vertical in the tower of height of approximately 125m. The insulation is extruded on the highest place of
the tower and passed through the vertical tube for vulcanizing and cooling purposes. Since the pass line of the insulated core is vertical, strengthen core
is exposed to uniform gravity force through its cross-section that no eccentricity can be occurred. By adopting this method, the insulation thickness can
be reduced remarkably and nowadays, and the extruded thermosetting insulated cables are enough competitive to conventional cables.

For the accessories of XLPE cable, Pre-molded joint and Slip-on type termination using silicone rubber have been developed and are under an operation. Pre-
molded joint and Slip-on type termination have several advantages as less jointing skill and time and quality control in the factory. For the electrical test on the
pre-molded rubber unit, epoxy insulator and stress cone, special electrical test facilities have been developed and all insulation parts of accessories are carried
out routine test according to IEC standard (IEC60840 & IEC62067).
Silicone rubber also has several advantages in mechanical and electrical properties in comparison with Ethylene-Propylene Rubber(EPR) as lower elasticity,
lower permanent set and so on.
And most manufacturers of EHV cable accessories are using silicone rubber for the rubber unit and stress cone. So we adopted silicone rubber as insulation and
electrode materials and studied mechanical and electrical properties of silicone rubber to apply it to our design prototype of pre-molded rubber unit.
We have developed accessories for XLPE cable up to 500kV class in accordance with IEC standard (IEC60840 & IEC62067).

QUALITY ASSURANCE & TEST REQUIREMENTS

Extra high voltage cables are the most important cable because they are generally adopted to massive power transmission system. Therefore the quality of the
cable shall be not only tested for finished cable products but also controlled during the whole manufacturing processes. All the materials and manufacturing
processes are stringently controlled, tested and reported according to quality standards.
Drum test and type test are performed on completed cables. Drum test is done for every length of cables by measuring conductor resistance, capacitance, power
factor, partial discharge, etc.
Electrical quality assurance for D/M length test program is done for sampled cable, generally one out of ten lengths by measuring impulse breakdown, long-time
AC withstand voltage, power factor, partial discharge, etc. Testing procedure is one of the important process and every necessary test equipments and devices
are installed, such as 3600kV impulse generator, 600kV AC testing transformer, schering bridge, 1200kV dielectric breakdown tester and shield room.

 System Design & Engineering Work

Cable System Design

Most of the extra high voltage cable projects include not only the manufacturing and supply of cables and accessories but also cable system design,
civil works, cable laying, erection works, site testing and commissioning. A cable system should be designed to meet the user’s requirements in
various respects in technology, economy, and stability. The design flow of cable system is shown in #1.

Determining Cable Size

The selection of conductor size depends on various system and installation conditions. The system conditions consist of required current ratings,
rated system voltages, system frequency, short-circuit current and its duration, and so on. For the maximum current ratings, there are continuous
current and emergency current. For the rated system voltages, there are nominal voltage, highest voltage, and basic impulse insulation voltage. The
installation conditions consist of cable laying arrangements, laying methods, laying depth, soil thermal resistivity, ambient temperatures, other heat
sources, and so on. For the cable laying arrangements, there are flat formation, trefoil formation and distances between phases and circuits. For the
laying methods, there are directburial laying, in-duct laying, in-air laying and others.

Determining Sheath Bonding Methed

Cable sheaths are grounded by various methods. A solid bonding method presents the simplest solution. But the grounded sheaths produce large
cable losses and, in turn, it largely reduces the power capacity of cable system. Special bonding methods are applied to reduce the cable losses. A
single-point bonding method is applied in case of short route and less then two joints, and a cross bonding method is applied in case of long route
and many joints. But these methods produce standing sheath-induced voltages, while the cable system shall be designed not to exceed the required
maximum sheath voltage.

Determining Cable Span

Since cable products are produced at a certain length, cable jointing is required at a long cable route. Cable drum lengths and number of joints are
determined generally on the various terms, cable manufacturing, transportation of drum, cable laying, cable system design and so on. In general, the
followings are the most important terms to determine the maximum cable drum length.
·Maximum manufacturing length of cables
·Related regulations on transportation of cable drums to site
·Maximum pulling tension and sidewall pressure during cable installation
·Cable sheath bonding and maximum sheath-induced voltage

 Installation

Taihan has many achievements and excellent techniques related to turnkey-base projects. The turnkey-base projects include the installation and
engineering services as well as the supply of cable system. The quality of the cable system at the site depends mainly on cable laying work, and
jointing and terminating works. Taihan has most qualified engineers and workers who are skillful and experienced in carrying out the installation
works. Also Taihan has much experience on various cable laying methods. The followings are generally applied as a cable laying method.

Direct in the Ground

This method is shown in #1, and is employed in following cases;
·Where road is narrow so the construction of conduit under the road not permitted.
·Where the number of cables is few and nofuture increase is expected.
·Where the road digging is easy.

Underground Duct or Tunnel

This method is shown in #2, #3, and is employed in following cases;
·The case of main underground transmission line where the number of cables are many or expected to be increased in near future.
·The case of hard pavement or where hard pavement will be constructed in future.
·Where digging is difficult due to heavy traffic.
·The case of the very long length such as 1~2km for one span, specific methods can be considered.
a. The fore-end of the cable can be pulled by a number of the caterpillar or transported by a batter vehicle through the guided line on the route.
b. In situation of the inevitable road occupation during the cable laying, the traversing pay-off equipment can be used to reduce it.

Special Laying
In case cables are installed in special places where there are bridges or railways, special laying methods are employed as follows;
·When a cable crosses a river or canal, cables are attached to the bridge. If there is no suitable bridge in the neighborhood, an exclusive bridge
should be built or a method of submarine laying should be adopted. As long as the strength and space of the bridge permits, it is best to
attach the cables to the bridge. Whether it is better to build an exclusive bridge or to lay submarine cable depends on the cost and difficulty of
construction.
·In case of crossing a railway, there are two methods; one is digging through the railway bed, and the other is piercing from the side of the railway
by using an excavator, when the cable crosses many tracks like a surface from railroad or suburban railway, digging the railway bed is usually
adopted. Except for the above case, piercing by using an excavator is adopted.

 Current Rating & Rating Factors

The continuous current carrying capacity is defined as continuous current that underground power cable can safely carry in the condition not to reduce
the capacity of insulation, and the mount of current passed through the conductor can be increased until heat generation reaches to the maximum
temperature of the insulation material. The current carrying capacity is basically calculated in accordance with IEC 60287, and there are many
determining factors that will limit the amount of current such as size of conductor, ambient temperature, installation condition and etc.

Use of derating factors enables to assume the continuous current carrying capacity in various circuit layout plannings. Once the circuit layout is determined, an
actual calculation should be conducted to confirm the assumption value.

 PD Measurement
PD(Partial discharge) is an incomplete breakdown of insulation and a kind of discharging phenomenon, which is generated by or at air-gap of solid
insulator, gas foam of liquid insulator, contacting surfaces of different insulating materials and peaks on metallic surface.
It is generated by the reason that as the permittivity of gas area is lower than that of solid or liquid, electric field is concentrated, and thus electric
discharges occur in the gas due to the low dielectric strength of the gas.

Measurement Method
Apply an AC voltage of commercial cycle to a conductor to detect partial discharge of the insulator between the conductor and a shielding layer. And
measure the starting electric charge and frequency of the partial discharge.

Solution
Our PD diagnostics solutions are suitable for quality control, commissioning test and condition based maintenance and asset management.
Based on various experience and know-how of power cable manufacturers, we can provide powerful and reliable PD diagnosis technology.

 DTS Monitoring System
Distributed temperature monitoring provides continuous monitoring of high power cable temperatures, detecting hot spots, delivering operational
status, condition assessment and power circuit rating data. This helps operators to optimize the transmission and distribution networks, and reduce
cost of operation and capital. The sensing fiber is either embedded in the power cable, close to the conductors or deployed along the outside of the
cable. It is intrinsically immune to electromagnetic interference and provides reliable temperature measurements, ideal for use in a high voltage
environment.
