    System Design parameters for Installation

    Design

    What the provided parameters are used for:


    Size and weight of cable :
    first constraint for maximum sections lengths and drums dimensions
    System Design parameters for Installation
    Design

    Maximum pulling tension :


    second constraint to the length of cable that can be installed in a
    single section. Lower the Max Pulling allowed, smaller the drums.

    Summary : System Design parameters


    affecting Installation.

    • Cable diameter and weight, Max pulling tension -> Design


    of preliminary cable lengths for trasportation with drums
    (detailed route analysis will help to confirm or change cable
    lengths).

    • Cable spacing and Laying Configuration -> Design of


    trench sections

    • Maximum Allowed Installation depth- > Design of crossings,


    Design considerations on Horizontal Directional Drillings.
    Installation Design contribution to System
    Design

    Installation parameters affecting System


    Design

    • Increase in installation depths at critical installation locations:


    -> System Design / Installation Design to evaluate solutions in
    order to grant the required power rating

    • Interaction with utilities (pipes / cables) close to the route:


    -> System Design to calculate losses and advise on required
    minimum distance from those utilities

    • Additional requirements for protections of cables:


    additional cover affects cable heat dissipation and therefore
    rating; - > System Design / Installation Design to evaluate
    solutions
    Overview of some uncommon or ‘critical’
    installation conditions

    • Installation in empty/unfilled ducts

    • Installation in inclined tunnel or Shafts

    Overview of some uncommon or ‘critical’
    installation conditions

    • Installation in an empty pipe is ‘critical’ from cable design


    point of view because the still air around cable is the
    worst thermal conductor. The heat is poorly dissipated.
    • Possible solutions :
    • Fill the pipe with suitable grout - it is not always
    possible
    • Fill the pipe with water – need continuous monitoring
    of water level inside the pipe (need expensive
    maintenance)
    • Increase conductor section - cable cost increases

    Cables installed in inclined tunnels / shafts


    Overview of some uncommon or ‘critical’
    installation conditions

    Installation of cables in inclined tunnel or shafts is ‘critical’ from


    System Design point of view for these reasons :
    • the cable is in air – if shaft / tunnel is not ventilated the heat
    dissipation is impaired
    • the cable is clamped to metallic structures - losses by induced
    currents shall be considered
    • some fire safety measure is required to be applied on the cable
    like
    • flame retardant cable PVC sheath or PE with additive
    • flame retardant paint on cable sheath
    These sheaths / covers change the heat dissipation conditions
    • Possible solutions :
    • Check that there is enough tunnel / shaft ventilation and
    suggest improvements on it to Customer
    • Increase conductor section – cable cost increase
    Overview of some uncommon or ‘critical’
    installation conditions
    Installation of cables in inclined tunnel or shafts is ‘critical’ from
    Installation Design point of view for these reasons :

    • Installation in confined spaces:


    • constraints on moving equipment and personnel,
    • constraints on where to install cables,
    • difficult control of pulling tension on the cable, especially on
    the cable suspended in shaft

    • Increase in risk for accidents / incidents (especially for shafts):


    • risk of falling objects due to improper tool / equipment /
    material handling;
    • risk of falling for people working at high heights

    • Possible solutions :
    • Design of solution and procedures for easy installation
    • Safety First !
