CABLE PARAMETERS CALCULATION GUIDE

1. NOMINAL VOLTAGE
The Nominal voltage is to be expressed with two values of alternative current Uo/U in V (volt)
U o: The rated r.m.s. power frequency voltage between each conductor and screen or sheath
for which cables and accessories are designed.
U: The rated r.m.s. power frequency voltage between any two conductors for which cables
and accessories are designed.
U m: The maximum r.m.s. power frequency voltage between any two conductors for which
cables and accessories are designed. It is the highest voltage that can be sustained under
normal operating conditions at any time and in any point in a system.
Vd = √3 I l ( R cosφ + X sinφ )
2. RESISTANCE
The values of conductor DC resistance are dependant on temperature as given below:
Ω/km Rθ = R20[1 + α (θ - 20)] Vd = 2I l ( R cosφ + X sinφ )

3.0 CABLE ASSEMBLY

The insulated cores are laid up together to form the laid up cable cores. Extruded suitable
polymer compound or non-hygroscopic polypropylene filler is applied (when required) between
laid up cores to provide a circular shape to the cable.
Polypropylene tape(s) or PETP (Polyester) tape(s) may be used as a barrier tape over the laid up
cores. Such tape(s) will bind the cores together and prevent them from opening out, acts as a
separator between different polymers used in a cable and works as a heat barrier between the
cores and the extruded bedding.

4.0 INNER SHEATH

It could be also called inner jacket, which serves as a bedding under metallic layer to protect
the laid up cores and as an inner sheath. The bedding is an extruded (PVC, PE or LS0H)
compound depending on the sheathing compound and customer requirements.

5.0 COLLECTIVE METALLIC LAYER (OPTIONAL)

Copper tapes or Copper wires applied directly over the inner sheath where required to cancel
out the electric field outside the cables & provide a low resistance path for charging current to
flow to ground. It also carry out the short circuit fault current.

6.0 SEPARATION SHEATH

It serves as a bedding under Lead Sheath to protect the laid up cores and as an inner sheath.
The bedding is an extruded (PVC, PE or LS0H) compound depending on the sheathing
compound and customer requirements.

9
 TECHNICAL INFORMATION
CABLE STRUCTURE
7.0 LEAD SHEATH(Optional)

It consists of Lead or Lead Alloy Compound protects the cable against moisture, hydrocarbons,
and corrosive contaminants.

8.0 SEPARATION SHEATH

It serves as a bedding under cable armouring to protect the lead Sheath as a separation sheath.
The bedding is an extruded (PVC, PE or LS0H) compound depending on the sheathing
compound and customer requirements.

9.0 ARMOURING (Optional)

The cable intended for tray application is protected enough and does not require lead sheath &
armour in general, while it is recommended to have armour for the cable intended for Direct
Burial application. The armour provides mechanical protection against crushing forces. Armour
also can serve as an Earth Continuity Conductor (ECC). The armouring type could be:

9.1 One layer of Galvanized Round Steel Wires to BS EN 10257 applied helically
over the bedding.
9.2 Double Galvanized Steel Tape applied over each other, with a suitable overlap,
one layer covers the gap of the other layer and it is applied over the bedding.

10.0 OUTERSHEATH (OUTER JACKET)

10.1 It is the outer protection part of the cable against the surrounding environment.

10.2 Several materials can be used as oversheath based on the intended application
as below:
10.2.1 General purpose PVC Type ST2 compound as specified in IEC 60502-1,
or its equivalent PVC Type 9 to BS 7655-4.2.
10.2.2 High-density Polyethylene HDPE compound fulfill and exceed the
requirements of Type ST7 IEC 60502-1 for cables that require to
be abrasion resistant, protected against water ingress and strong
Environmental Stress Crack Resistant (ESCR).
10.2.3 Halogen Free Flame Retardant (HFFR) compounds complying with ST8
to IEC 60502-1 or Types LTS 1 & LTS 4 to BS 7655: section 6 for non
lead sheathed Control & Auxiliary cables installed in intrinsically safe
locations and where the cables require to be low smoke, low fume and
low toxic gas emitting in case of fire. Cables to this category are
complying with the requirements of BS 6724. The standard sheath color
is Black. Any other colour can also be provided as per customer request
and in this case UV can be provided upon request.
10.3 When the cable is required to be anti-termite / anti-vermin, a special
additive can be added to the sheathing compound.
10.4 All cables produced at Bahra Cables Company with PVC or Halogen free
(Non-lead sheathed cables) jackets are complying with the flame
retardant test to IEC 60332-1. Whenever a requirement for more severe
tests as IEC 60332-3-24 CAT C is needed, a jacketing compound with
Oxygen index value more than 30% will be used.

11.0 INSTALLATION

The following recommendations should be followed to achieve the optimal cable service
1. Lead Sheath/ Armoured cables are not recommended for tray applications, as they are
heavy in weight and extra loads are exerted on the tray.
2. Unarmoured cables are not recommended for direct burial applications, except if the
quoted cables are designed & produced to pass direct burial test requirements.
3. A PVC jacket is a very stable material against a wide range of chemicals, while HDPE
jacketed cables can serve better in wet locations.
4. A recommended minimum bending radius is included in Table2; the cable jacket may be
damaged if the cable is bent in diameters less than these values.

3 INSTALLATION CONDITIONS FOR CABLES IN DUCTS

A duct is an enclosure of metal or insulating material other than conduits or cable trunking,
intended for the protection of cables which are drawn in after erection of the ducting.
The recommended relation between the cable size and duct size is as in table 7

Table 7 : Recommended duct dimensions and cable sizes

Upto and including 65 100 130

As the same principal of cables installed in direct burial methods above, the current carrying
capacities of cables depends on the installation condition, the current rating is calculated based
on the values in section 1.4.
The de-rating factors of other conditions should be considered to calculate the actual possible
maximum current carrying capacity of the cables.

Tables 8-12 are for the factors to be multiplied by the tabulated current.

1. CURRENT RATING ASSUMPTIONS

1.1 The calculation of the current ratings, Current rating equations (100% load
factor) and calculation of losses are based on IEC 60287 series , and the values
of Current ratings for under ground applications (In Duct or Direct Buried) are
derived from the latest issue of ERA Report ‘ Current Rating Standards 69.30
Part V ’.
The ratings for cable installed in Air are adapted from BS 7671 IEE Wiring
Regulations, 17th edition.

1.2 The calculation is based on the standard dimensions of cables based on IEC
60502-1, which may have a slight difference from the applied cable dimension,
which are following the best common manufacturing practices.

1.3 The values given in the tables are for one circuit installed thermally isolated
from other circuits or any other heat source.

1.4 The basis of the standard conditions is the climate condition of the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia, which is :
Ambient Air Temperature : 40 ◦C
Ambient Ground Temperature : 35 ◦C
Depth of laying in ground : 0.50 m
Soil Thermal Resistivity : 1.2 K.m/W

1.5 For other installation conditions or any value of different air/ ground temperature,
depth of laying, different soil thermal resistivity the customer is advised to
multiply the tabulated current rating by the de-rating factor values as in tables
3 to 6 for direct buried cables in ground, tables 8 to 11 for cables installed
in duct and table13 for cables installed in air

ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS

According to BS 7671 IEE wiring regulation 17th edition, under normal service conditions the
voltage at the terminals of any fixed current-using equipment shall be greater than the lower
limit corresponding to the product standard relevant to the equipment.
Moreover, where fixed current-using equipment is not the subject of a product standard the
voltage at the terminals shall be such as not to impair the safe functioning of the equipment.
This infers the importance of the voltage drop calculation for the low voltage control & Auxiliary
cables, which is covered by this catalogue.

DRUM HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
Cables and Conductors should be installed by trained personnel in accordance with good
engineering practices, recognized codes of practise, statutory local requirements, IEE wiring
regulations and where relevant, in accordance with any specific instructions issued by the
company. Cables are often supplied in heavy cable reels and handling these reels can constitute
a safety hazard. In particular, dangers may arise during the removal of steel binding straps and
during the removal of retaining battens and timbers which may expose projecting nails.

Lifting cable drums using crane. Do not lay drums flat on their sides, use proper
stops to prevent drums roling.

Lift drums on fork trucks correctly.

Secure drums adequately before transportation. Roll in the direction shown by the arrow.

 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CABLES INSTALLATION
PRODUCT LIFE DATA
Low Voltage Control and Auxiliary cables are not subjected to high electric stress, the
XLPE insulating material has a dielectric strength voltage of about 22 KV, with the best
manufacturing and testing practice applied in Bahra Cables Company to ensure good quality
insulation . As Insulation treeing is uncommon problem for LV cables, the chance of electric
break down is very minor. The PVC or PE jacketing material is very stable against most of the
Chemical traces could be existing at the soil, these material with Black colour Master batch
up to 2.5 % have a strong resistance against UV and Environmental conditions.
The cables have to be selected and installed as per the recommendation mentioned below.
By keeping such standard of installation and operation, Low Voltage Control and Auxiliary
cables can survive in service for a long time without failure.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE SELECTION, INSTALLATIONS AND OPERATION OF CABLES

• The cables are intended to be installed in air, or for burial in free draining soil Conditions.
Where the cables are to be laid in any other environment, reference should be made to
the cable manufacturer - Bahra Cables Company.

• The rated voltage of the cable for a given application should be suitable for the operating
conditions in the system in which the cable is used.

• Precautions should be taken to avoid mechanical damage to the cables before and during
installation.

• If cables are to be installed in ducts, the correct size of duct should be used.

• The type of jointing and filling compounds employed should be chemically compatible with
the cable materials.

• The cable support system should be such as to avoid damage to the cables.

• Cables specified in this catalogue are designed for fixed installations only; they are not
intended for use as, for example, trailing or reeling cables.

• The selection of cable glands, accessories and any associated tools should take account of
all aspects of intended use.

CABLES INSTALLED IN HAZARDOUS AREAS

Where cables are required to be installed in areas classified as hazardous, i.e.
potentially explosive gas atmospheres, reference should be made to IEC 60079-14

CURRENT RATINGS
The current rates introduced previously in this catalogue have to be followed.
• Cables should be installed and used in association with other equipment in accordance with
BS7671 and/or the Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations, as appropriate.
In special environments, the appropriate regulations and codes of practice should
be observed.

60
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CABLES INSTALLATION

• Minimum temperature during installation It is recommended that the cables be installed only
when both the cable and ambient temperatures are above 0 °C and have been so for the
previous 24 h, or where special precautions have been taken to maintain the cable above
this temperature.

MINIMUM INSTALLATION RADIUS

None of the cables specified in this catalogue should be bent during installation to a
radius smaller than that given in BCC product Catalogues and the offered data
sheets, wherever possible, larger installation radius should be used.

PREVENTION OF MOISTURE INGRESS

Care should be exercised during installation to avoid any damage to cable coverings. This is
important in wet or other aggressive environments. The protective cable end cap should not
be removed from the ends of the cable until immediately prior to termination or jointing,
especially for cables that do not have extruded bedding. When the end caps have
been removed the unprotected ends of the cable should not be exposed to any kind of
moisture.

CABLES FAULTS PREVENTION

The Low Voltage Control and Auxiliary Cables faults are possible due to different reasons:
1. Physical damage due to mishandling or misuse
2. Physical Damage during operations.
3. Over current.
4. Fire or excessive temperature at the cables location.
5. Manufacturing malfunction, which Bahra Cables Company guarantees its product
against any defect or wrong workmanship, meanwhile in case of damage due to this reason,
the action will be taken as per the submitted warranty letter, and the company will apply
the required corrective and preventive actions.

Recommendation for failures:

Insulation failure, the defected section is recommended to be replaced , the
replacement should be from joint to joint.
Serving/ jacketing failure, if the water did not ingress through the cable, the jacket will be
repaired using proper repairing techniques carried out by skilled technician. If the water
came inside the cables to insulation, for cables suitable for wet location, practically dry the
defected portion before repair.
If the cable is not suitable for wet applications and the underground water engrossed
inside it, replacing the defected section from joint to joint is the recommend solution.
