    Electrical cables and electrical insulators

    An electrical cable is an assembly of two or more electrical conductors,

    usually held together with an overall sheath. The assembly is used for transmission

    ofelectrical power. Electrical cables may be installed as permanent wiring within

    buildings, buried in the ground, run overhead, or exposed.

    Modern power cables come in a variety of sizes, materials, and types, each

    particularly adapted to its uses. Large single insulated conductors are also

    sometimes called power cables in the industry.

    Cables consist of three major components: conductors, insulation, protective

    jacket. The makeup of individual cables varies according to application. Theconstruction and material are determined by three main factors:

    Working voltage, determining the thickness of the insulation;

    Current-carrying capacity, determining the cross-sectional size of the

    conductor(s);

    Environmental conditions such as temperature, water, chemical or sunlight

    exposure, and mechanical impact, determining the form and composition of the

    outer cable jacket.

    Cables for direct burial or for exposed installations may also include metalarmor in the form of wires spiralled around the cable, or a corrugated tape wrapped

    around it. The armor may be made of steel or aluminum, and although connected

    to earth ground is not intended to carry current during normal operation.Power

    cables use stranded copper or aluminum conductors, although small power cables

    may use solid conductors.The cable may include uninsulated conductors used for

    the circuit neutral or for ground (earth) connection.

    The overall assembly may be round or flat. Non-conducting filler strands

    may be added to the assembly to maintain its shape. Special purpose power cables

    for overhead or vertical use may have additional elements such as steelor Kevlar structural supports.

    Some power cables for outdoor overhead use may have no overall sheath.

    Other cables may have a plastic or metal sheath enclosing all the conductors. The

    materials for the sheath will be selected for resistance to water, oil, sunlight,

    underground conditions, chemical vapors, impact, or high temperatures. In nuclear

    industry applications the cable may have special requirements for ionizing

    radiation resistance. Cable materials may be specified not to produce large

    amounts of smoke if burned. Cables intended for underground use or direct burial

    in earth will have heavy plastic or metal, most often lead sheaths, or may require

    special direct-buried construction. When cables must run where exposed to

    mechanical impact damage, they may protected with flexible steel tape or wire

    armor, which may also be covered by a water resistant jacket.

    All electrical cables are somewhat flexible, allowing them to be shipped to

    installation sites wound on reels or drums. Where applications require a cable to be

    moved repeatedly, such as for portable equipment, more flexible cables called

    "cords" or "flex" are used. Flexible cords contain fine stranded conductors, not

    solid core conductors, and have insulation and sheaths to withstand the forces of

    repeated flexing and abrasion. Heavy duty flexible power cords such as those

    feeding a mine face cutting machine are carefully engineeredtheir life ismeasured in weeks. Very flexible power cables are used in automated

    machinery, robotics, and machine tools. See power cord and extension cable for

    further description of flexible power cables. Other types of flexible cable

    include twisted pair, extensible, coaxial, shielded, and communication cable.

    Cable insulation materials

    An electrical insulator is a material whose internal electric charges do not

    flow freely, and which therefore does not conduct an electric current, under the

    influence of an electric field. A perfect insulator does not exist, but some materialssuch as glass, paper and Teflon, which have highresistivity, are very good

    electrical insulators. A much larger class of materials, even though they may have

    lower bulkresistivity, are still good enough to insulate electrical wiring and cables.

    Examples include rubber-like polymers and most plastics. Such materials can serve

    as practical and safe insulators for low to moderate voltages (hundreds, or even

    thousands, ofvolts).

    Insulators are used in electrical equipment to support and separate

    electrical conductors without allowing current through themselves. An insulating

    material used in bulk to wrap electrical cables or other equipment iscalled insulation. The term insulator is also used more specifically to refer to

    insulating supports used to attach electric power distribution or transmission lines

    to utility poles and transmission towers.

    Insulators are commonly used as a flexible coating on electric wire and

    cable. Since air is an insulator, in principle no other substance is needed to keep

    power where it should be. High-voltage power lines commonly use just air, since a

    solid (e.g., plastic) coating is impractical. However, wires which touch each other

    will produce cross connections, short circuits, and fire hazards. In coaxial cable the

    center conductor must be supported exactly in the middle of the hollow shield in

    order to prevent EM wave reflections. Finally, wires which expose voltages higher

    than 60V can cause human shock and electrocution hazards. Insulating coatings

    help to prevent all of these problems.

    Some wires have a mechanical covering which has no voltage rating; e.g.:

    service-drop, welding, doorbell, thermostat. An insulated wire or cable has a

    voltage rating and a maximum conductor temperature rating. It may not have

    an ampacity (current-carrying capacity) rating, since this is dependent upon the

    surrounding environment (e.g. ambient temperature).In electronic systems, printed

    circuit boards are made from epoxy plastic and fibreglass. The nonconductive

    boards support layers of copper foil conductors. In electronic devices, the tiny and

    delicate active components are embedded within

    nonconductive epoxy or phenolic plastics, or within baked glass or ceramic

    coatings.

    In microelectronic components such as transistors and ICs, the silicon

    material is normally a conductor because of doping, but it can easily be selectively

    transformed into a good insulator by the application of heat and oxygen. Oxidized

    silicon is quartz, i.e. silicon dioxide, the primary component of glass.In high

    voltage systems containing transformers and capacitors, liquid insulator oil is the

    typical method used for preventing arcs. The oil replaces the air in any spaces

    which must support significant voltage without electrical breakdown. Othermethods of insulating high voltage systems are ceramic or glass wire holders, gas,

    vacuum, and simply placing the wires with a large separation, using the air as

    insulation.

    Thermoplastic compounds are materials that go soft when heated and harden

    when cooled:

    PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)is the most commonly used thermoplastic

    insulator for cables. It is cheap, durable and widely available. However,

    the chlorine in PVC (a halogen) causes the production of thick, toxic,

    black smoke when burnt and can be a health hazard in areas where low

    smoke and toxicity are required (e.g. confined areas such as tunnels).

    Normal operating temperatures are typically between 75C and 105C

    (depending on PVC type). Temperature limit is 160C (300mm2).

    PE (Polyethylene)is part of a class of polymers called polyolefins.

    Polyethylene has lower dielectric losses than PVC and is sensitive to

    moisture under voltage stress (i.e. for high voltages only).

    Thermosetting compounds are polymer resins that are irreversibly cured

    (e.g. by heat in the vulcanization process) to form a plastic or rubber:

    XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene)has different polyethylene chains

    linked together (cross-linking) which helps prevent the polymer from

    melting or separating at elevated temperatures. Therefore XLPE is useful

    for higher temperature applications. XLPE has higher dielectric losses

    than PE, but has better ageing characteristics and resistance to water

    treeing. Normal operating temperatures are typically between 90C and110C. Temperature limit is 250C.

    EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber)is a copolymer of ethylene and

    propylene, and commonly called an elastomer. EPR is more flexible

    than PE and XLPE, but has higher dielectric losses than both. Normal

    operating temperatures are typically between 90C and 110C.

    Temperature limit is 250C.

    Paper Based insulation is the oldest type of power cable insulation and isstill used mainly for high voltage cables. The paper insulation must be impregnated

    with a dielectric fluid (e.g. oil resin or a synthetic fluid). A lead sheath is

    commonly applied over the insulation to prevent water or moisture ingress into the

    paper insulation, which is sensitive to moisture.

    Insulator -a material such as glass or porcelain with negligible electrical or

    thermal conductivity; A substance or object that insulates; a

    nonconductor; as, polyurethane foam is a popular thermalinsulator.

    Corrugated - shaped into alternating parallel grooves and ridges; fold into

    ridges; To form or shape into wrinkles or folds, or alternate ridges and

    grooves, as by drawing, contraction, pressure, bending, or otherwise; to

    wrinkle; to purse up; as, to corrugate plates of iron; to corrugate the

    forehead.

    efficiency; to fortify.

    A mannedengine room needs less control equipment.

    Capacitive coupling- the transfer of energy within an electrical networkby

    means of the capacitance between circuit nodes. This coupling can have an

    intentional or accidental effect. Capacitive coupling is typically achieved by

    placing acapacitor in series with the signal to be coupled.

    The capacitive coupling aboard is very large.

    Heater - heater consisting of a series of pipes for circulating steam or hot water to

    heat rooms or buildings; device that heats water or supplies warmth to a room; Anycontrivance or implement, as a furnace, stove, or other heated body or vessel, etc.,

    used to impart heat to something, or to contain something to be heated.

    Heaters are often used abord ship.

    Switchgear - the combination of electrical disconnect switches, fuses or circuit

    breakers used to control, protect and isolate electrical equipment. Switchgear is

    used both to de-energize equipment to allow work to be done and to

    clearfaults downstream. This type of equipment is important because it is directlylinked to the reliability of the electricity supply.

    Large switchgearpanels are used in electrical distribution system.

    Spectrum - a broad range of related objects or values or qualities or ideas or

    activities; an ordered array of the components of an emission or wave;

    gamut, range,variety.

    They have to cover the complete spectrum.
