r: conductor radius.R: Outside radius of insulation or inside radius
of sheath.V: potential difference between conductor and
sheath (Operating voltage of cable).Dielectric Strength: Maximum voltage that
dielectric can withstand before it breakdown.Average Stress: Is the amount of voltage across
the insulation material divided by the thickness of the insulator.
![Page 7: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Emax = E at x = r
= V/(r.lnR/r)Emin = E at x = R
= V/(R.lnR/r) For a given V and R, there is a conductor
radius that gives the minimum stress at the conductor surface. In order to get the smallest value of Emax:
dEmax/dr =0.0
ln(R/r)=1 R/r=e=2.718
![Page 8: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Insulation thickness is:
R-r = 1.718 r
Emax = V/r (as: ln(R/r)=1)
Where r is the optimum conductor radius
that satisfies (R/r=2.718)
![Page 9: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Example
A single- core conductor cable of 5 km long has a conductor diameter of 2cm and an inside diameter of sheath 5 cm. The cable is used at 24.9 kV and 50 Hz. Calculate the following:
a- Maximum and minimum values of electric stress.
b- Optimum value of conductor radius that results in smallest value of maximum stress.
![Page 10: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
a- Emax = V/(r.lnR/r) = 27.17 kV/cm
Emin = V/(R.lnR/r) = 10.87 kV/cm
b- Optimum conductor radius r is: R/r = 2.718 r= R/2.718= 0.92 cmThe minimum value of Emax:
= V/r = 24.9/0.92=27.07 kV/cm
![Page 11: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Grading of Cables p.414
Grading of cables means the distribution of
dielectric stress such that the difference
between the maximum and minimum electric
stress is reduced. Therefore, the cable of the
same size could be operated at higher voltages
or for the same operating voltage,
a cable of relatively small size could be used.
![Page 12: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
1. Capacitance Grading p.414 This method involves the use of two or more
layers of dielectrics having different permittivities, those with higher permittivity being near the conductor.
Ex =q/(2 πεo.εr .x) The permittivity can be varied with radius x such
that (ideal case): εr = k/x Then Ex =q/(2 πεo. k) Ex is constant throughout the thickness of
insulation.

In the figure shown
At x=r Emax1 =q/(2 πεo. ε1r)
At x=r1 Emax2 =q/(2 πεo. ε2r1)
At x=r2 Emax3 =q/(2 πεo. ε3r2)
If all the three dielectrics are operated at the same maximum electric stress (Emax1=Emax2=Emax3=Emax) , then:(1/ ε1r) = (1/ ε2r1) = (1/ ε3r2)
ε1r = ε2r1 = ε3r2, get r1 , r2

Intersheath Grading is a method of creating uniform voltage gradient across the insulation by means of separating the insulation into two or more layers by thin conductive strips. These strips are kept at different voltage levels through the secondary of a transformer.
![Page 19: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
In this method only one dielectric is used but the dielectric is separated into two or more layers by thin metallic intersheaths.
Emax1 = (V-V1)/(r. ln(r1/r))
Emax2 = (V1 –V2)/(r1. ln(r2/r1))
Emax3 = V2/(r2.ln(R/r2))
For the same maximum electric strength:(r1/r) =(r2/r1) =(R/r2) = α R/r = α3
Then: (V-V1)/(r.ln α) =(V1-V2)/(r1.ln α)=(V2/r2.ln α)
(V-V1)/r =(V1-V2)/r1= V2/r2
![Page 20: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
If the cable does not have any intersheath, the maximum stress is:
Emax = V/(r.ln(R/r)) = V/(3r.ln α) The intersheath radius can be found fromR/r = α 3
(r1/r) =(r2/r1) =(R/r2) = αThe voltages V1, V2 can be found from:(V-V1)/r =(V1-V2)/r1= V2/r2
Emax /Emax without intersheath =3/(1+ α + α 2) where === α > 1
![Page 21: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Difficulties of Grading
a-Capacitance grading :
1- non-availability of materials with widely
varying permittivities.
2- The permittivities of materials will be change
with time, so the electric field distribution may
change and lead to insulation breakdown.
![Page 22: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
b- Intersheath Grading
1- Damage of intersheaths during laying
operation.
2- The charging current that flows through the
intersheath for long cables result in overheating.
3- The setting of proper voltages of intersheaths.
![Page 23: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Example
A single core cable for 53.8 kV has a conductor of 2cm diameter and sheath of inside diameter 5.3 cm. It is required to have two intersheaths so that stress varies between the same maximum and minimum values in three layers of dielectric. Find the positions of intersheaths, maximum and minimum stress and voltages on the intersheaths. Also, find the maximum and minimum stress if the intersheaths are not used.
![Page 24: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

r1= 1.384 cm, r2= 1.951 cm
(V-V1)/(r.lna) =(V1-V2)/(r1.lna)=(V2/r2.lna)
(V-V1)/(1.lna) =(V1-V2)/(1.384.lna)
=(V2/1.915.lna)
![Page 25: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
V= 53.8 kV
V1= 41.3 kV, V2=23.94 kV
Emax = (V-V1)/(r. lna)=38.46 kV/cm
Emin = (V-V1)/(r1. lna)= 27.79 kV/cm
If Intersheaths are not used:
Emax = V/(r.ln(R/r)) = 55.2 kV/cm
Emin = V/(R.ln(R/r)) = 20.83 kV/cm
![Page 26: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example
Find the maximum working voltage of a single core cable having two insulating materials A and B and the following data. conductor radius 0.5 cm, inside sheath radius 2.5cm. The maximum working stress of A 60 kV/cm, maximum working stress of B 50 kV/cm, relative permittivities of A and B, 4 and 2.5 respectively.
![Page 27: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

V=q.ln(r1/r)/(2πεo. εA) + q.ln(R/r1)/(2πεo. εB)
=(120/4). ln(0.96/0.5) +(120/2.5). ln(2.5/0.96) = 65.51 kV

Assume that the potential difference between conductor an sheath is V, then a charge of conductor and sheath will be +q and –q (C/m)
C= q/V C= 2 πε/ln(R/r) F/m
![Page 30: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Since ε = ε0 . εr
C = 2πε0. εr /ln(R/r) F/m
Where: ε0= 8.854x10-12
εr dielectric constant of insulation.
C= 10-9 εr /(18.ln(R/r)) F/m
C= εr /(18.ln(R/r)) μF/km
![Page 31: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Ich = V/Xc = ω.C.V = 2πf.C.V
It is observed that as cable length and operating voltage increase, Capacitance (c) and the charging current will be increase.So, it is not recommended to transmit power for a long distance using underground cables (Overvoltage problems)
Charging Current
![Page 32: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The charging current and the capacitance are
relatively greater for insulated cables than in
O.H.T Lines because of closer spacing and the
higher dielectric constant of the insulation of
the cables. The charging current is negligible for
O.H circuits at distribution voltage (Short Lines).
Since C= 2 πε/ln(R/r) and Ich = ω.C.V

Where:
Ri : insulation resistance in ohms.
ρ: insulation (dielectric) resistivity in Ω.m
l: Cable length (m).
It is observed that the insulation resistance is
inversely proportional to the cable length.

Dielectric Power Factor and Dielectric Losses p.442
When a voltage is applied across a perfect dielectric,
there is no dielectric loss because the capacitor
current Ic is at 90o ahead of the voltage V.
In practice, there is a small current component Id
(leakage current) that in phase with voltage V, so, the
total current I leads the voltage V by an angle less
than 90 as shown in figure.
![Page 38: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Power factor of dielectric :
= Cos фd = Cos (90-δ) = Sin δ
This provides a useful measure of the quality
of the cable dielectric.
![Page 40: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
For a good dielectric insulation, фd is close to 90o.
Pd =I. V. Cosфd
Cos фd = Sinδ = tan δ = δ (rad)
δ is called dielectric loss angle.
The dielectric Losses: Pd
Pd = Id.V = Ic.tanδ.V = Ic.V.δ == Ic = ωCV
Pd = ωCV2δ δ is in radians
C: Cable capacitance.
V: operating voltage
![Page 41: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Since δ = 90- фd and δ < 0.5o for most cables. Here Cos фd should be very small under all
operating conditions. If it is large, the power loss is large and the
insulation temperature rises. The rise in temperature causes a rise in power loss in the dielectric which again results in additional temperature rise. If the temperature continues to increase, the cable insulation will be damaged.
![Page 42: UNDERGROUND CABLES part 2](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061313/56812d63550346895d9270ed/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Example
A single-core cable has a conductor diameter of
2 cm, inside diameter of sheath is 6 cm and
a length of 6 km. The cable is operated at 60 Hz
and 7.2 kV. The dielectric constant is 3.5, the
dielectric power factor is 0.03 (δ=Cosфd) and
dielectric resistivity of the insulation is 1.3x107
MΩ.cm.

Calculate the following:a- Maximum electric stress.b- Capacitance of the cable.c- Charging current.d- Insulation resistance.e- Total dielectric losses.f- If the cable feeds a load at receiving end of
20A at 0.6 power factor lag, find sending end current and power factor.
