Basic requirements of choosing cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulating power cable
1. Cable core temperature maximum operating current is applied, shall not exceed the allowable value of the continuous operating current loop cable core temperature must not exceed the permissible values listed in section 2.4 of Schedule that cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulating power cable core maximum rated temperature is 90 ℃.
2. The maximum short-circuit current thermal effects produced by the role of time, should not undermine the continued use of the cable characteristics. For non-fuse protection circuit, according to the short-circuit current core temperature does not exceed a Linear Section 2.4 of the Schedule are allowable values, namely cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulating power cable cores maximum temperature of 250 ℃.
3. Circuit connection is very long, the limits for voltage drop should not exceed the allowable value.
4. For longer distances large current loop or more than 35kV high-voltage cable, to meet the three requirements under the premise of economic current density law should press the selection line core cross section, namely the cable core cross section can be determined as follows
A=Iy·max/J
Wherein Y • max-- normal working hours maximum continuous operating current, A; J-- economic current density, A / mm2.
