Oil Filled Pipe Type Cable
This system utilized a pressurized gas.
Oil filled pipe type cable. The fluid within a cable system normally only moves within the confines of the. The conductor is wrapped with tapes impregnated with an insulating oil and the wrapped tapes are encircled by gas permeable layers and skid wires. High pressure gas filled pipe type cable the high pressure gas filled hpgf pipe type of underground transmission line see figure 1 is a. All systems are still in service.
Three different types of cable fluid have been used over the years with the material used since 1986 being the least harmful to the environment. Nitrogen gas is less effective than dielectric fluids at suppressing. Problems associated with hpff pipe type underground transmission lines include maintenance issues and possible contamination of surrounding soils and groundwater due to leaking oil. The pipe is filled with insulation oil kept at a pressure of 1 38 10 6 to 1 725 10 6 n m 2.
In later years this name changed slightly to high pressure fluid filled hpff pipe typecable. With pipe type cables the pipes are constructed first and then at a later date the cable is pulled through. There are approximately 4100 circuit miles of underground high voltage transmission cable in. Instead of a dielectric oil pressurized nitrogen gas is used to insulate the conductors.
No pipe type cable systems have been decommissioned due to age or problems with the impregnated paper or lpp dielectric. The cross sectional volume of oil in a pipe type cable is significantly higher than in an oil filled cable. In this type of cable the conductor oil duct is. It also removes heat from the cable.
Impregnated paper insulated pipe type cables have proven to be most reliable in service life. The cable may feature skid wires to prevent damage during the pulling process. Summary of cable design fluid filled cables rely on the presence of pressurised able fluid to work efficiently. These pipe type cables are oil filled at nominal.
Fluid filled cables rely on the presence of pressurised cable fluid to work efficiently if the circuit suffers an oil leak the cable network is compromised. Oil filled paper insulated cable gas filled and pipe type cable even though the ipcea manufacturers had participated with technical assistance and reviews for the previous editions of the pilc solid type cable specification some. Oil filled hpof pipe type cable. A high voltage gas filled pipe type electrical cable and method of manufacture thereof.
The cable comprises a plurality of insulated conductors each conductor having a central gas passageway and being gas permeable. A pipe type oil filled cable consists of three separate paper insulated screen cores installed in a steel pipe. High pressure gas filled pipe type cable.
