2. Composition and Ingredients:

HT/LT power cables are typically composed of:

 Conductor Material: Copper or aluminum.

 Insulation Material:
o Cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or ethylene propylene
rubber (EPR).
 Sheath Material:
o PVC, PE (Polyethylene), or lead (for armoring and additional protection).
 Additional Components:
o Armoring: Steel wires or wires coated with zinc for mechanical protection.
o Screening: Copper or aluminum foils or wires for electrical shielding and safety.
o Fillers and binders for cable formation and flexibility.
3. Hazard Identification:

 Physical Hazards:
o Risk of electric shock if cables are improperly installed or damaged.
o Heavy cables may cause injury during handling or installation.
o Risk of fire if the cables are subjected to high heat or electrical faults.
 Health Hazards:
o Exposure to dust or fumes from burning cables may irritate the respiratory system.
o PVC sheathed cables may release toxic gases (e.g., hydrogen chloride) when burned.
o Handling cables during installation may lead to skin abrasions or cuts.
 Environmental Hazards:
o Non-biodegradable components such as PVC and metals may pose environmental risks
if not disposed of properly.
o PVC and lead sheaths may release harmful chemicals into the environment when
disposed of incorrectly.

4. First-Aid Measures:

 Inhalation:
o Move to fresh air if exposed to fumes from burning cables. Seek medical attention if
symptoms like coughing, shortness of breath, or dizziness persist.
 Skin Contact:
o Wash affected skin thoroughly with soap and water if exposed to burning cables or
insulation materials.
 Eye Contact:
o Rinse eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if
irritation persists.
 Ingestion:
o If any part of the cable is ingested, seek immediate medical attention. Do not induce
vomiting.

5. Firefighting Measures:

 Suitable Extinguishing Media:

o Use CO₂, dry chemical powder, or foam extinguishers.
o Water can be used if electrical current is disconnected, but avoid direct contact with live
cables.
 Specific Hazards:
o Burning cables may release toxic gases, such as hydrogen chloride from PVC sheaths.
o High heat may cause the insulation to degrade and release harmful chemicals.
 Protective Equipment for Firefighters:
o Use self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective clothing when
fighting fires involving power cables.

6. Handling and Storage:

  Safe Handling:
o Always ensure cables are properly insulated and de-energized before installation or
maintenance.
o Handle cables with care to avoid physical damage or cuts.
o Use appropriate lifting equipment for heavy cables during installation.
 Storage Conditions:
o Store cables in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and heat
sources.
o Protect cables from mechanical damage and moisture.
o Keep cables coiled and avoid kinking or sharp bending.

7. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection:

 Exposure Limits: No specific exposure limits under normal operating conditions.

 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
o Wear insulated gloves and safety boots when handling HT/LT power cables.
o Use protective eyewear and clothing to avoid cuts or abrasions during installation.
o Wear respiratory protection when working with burning cables or in areas with poor
ventilation.
 Engineering Controls:
o Ensure proper ventilation when working with cables in confined spaces.

8. Physical and Chemical Properties:

 Appearance: Long, flexible cylindrical cables with metallic conductors and insulating sheaths.
