Laying of Underground Cables: The reliability of Laying of Underground Cables network depends to a considerable extent upon the proper laying and attachment of fittings i.e., cable end boxes, joints, branch connectors etc. There are…
Three Phase Service Cable: In practice, underground cables are generally required to deliver 3-phase power. For the purpose, either three-core cable or three single core cables may be used. For voltages upto 66 kV, 3-core…
Classification of Underground Cables: Classification of Underground Cables may be in two ways according to the type of insulating material used in their manufacture the voltage for which they are manufactured. However, the latter method…
Insulating Materials for Underground Cables: The satisfactory operation of a cable depends to a great extent upon the characteristics of insulation used. Therefore, the proper choice of Insulating Materials for Underground Cables is of considerable…
Construction of Underground Cables: Fig. 11.1 shows the general Construction of Underground Cables. The various parts are : Cores or Conductors: A cable may have one or more than one core (conductor) depending upon the…
Underground Cables: Electric power can be transmitted or distributed either by overhead system or by underground cables. The underground cables have several advantages such as less liable to damage through storms or lightning, low maintenance cost,…
Circuit Constants of a Transmission Line: In any four terminal network, the input voltage and input current can be expressed in terms of output voltage and output current. Incidentally, a Circuit Constants of a Transmission…
Long Transmission Line Voltage: It is well known that line constants of the transmission line are uniformly distributed over the entire length of the line. However, reasonable accuracy can be obtained in line calculations for…
Medium Transmission Line Voltage: In short transmission line calculations; the effects attic line capacitance are neglected because such lines have smaller lengths and transmit power at relatively low voltages (<20 kV): However, as the length…
Performance of Three Phase Short Transmission Line: For reasons associated with economy, transmission of electric power is done by Three Phase Short Transmission Line. This system may be regarded as consisting of three single Phase…
