Insulation & Sheath Materials

Insulation Compounds

X-90 (XLPE) A cross-linked polyethylene compound suitable for operating

temperatures up to 90°C1. XLPE materials have excellent

dielectric properties and are halogen-free.

X-90UV (XLPE) A black UV resistant XLPE stabilized with 2% carbon black

pigment. Used for aerial unsheathed cables.

X-HF-90 A low-smoke, halogen free insulation compound, used as an

alternative to V-90 PVC insulation.

Sheathing Compounds

3V-90 PVC A plasticized compound of polyvinyl chloride specially

formulated to allow easy stripping of flat TPS cable. This

compound is suitable for temperatures up to 90°C1.

5V-90 PVC Our standard sheathing grade of plasticized PVC, suitable for

operating temperatures up to 90°C1. Although PVC is inherently

UV stable and flame retardant, its properties can be further

enhanced with the additions of UV stabilisers or flame

retardants. A flexible grade of this compound is also available for

the sheathing of flexible cables.

HFS-90-TP A low-smoke, halogen free, flame retardant thermoplastic

compound.

Insulation & Sheath Materials

Consider Power Requirements

Selection of conductor size from the range offered in this handbook should be made taking into consideration current carrying capacity requirements and the voltage drop present in the circuit to be installed.

• The tables contained from pages 42 to 52 give the maximum current carrying capacity for a range of cables in various installation configurations. For more detailed information, please refer to AS/NZS 3008.1.1.

2 Insulation and Sheath Materials

As per page 69, various insulation and sheath compounds can be selected to suit a range of applications.

• For standard install, PVC is usually the insulation and sheath choice, as it offers a good combination of low cost and physical properties.

• Where higher dielectric properties are required, XLPE insulation is the preferred insulation choice.

• Where it is important to limit exposure to harmful combustion products in the event of fire, low smoke, halogen free materials are recommended for both cable insulation and sheath.

3 Consider Environmental and Installation Conditions

NAN low voltage cables can be installed as part of various systems, including (but not limited to), aerial, underground, cable conduit and cable trays. Variations to the standard cable range should be considered to suit particular environment conditions. Such variations include:

• Steel wire armour for install conditions at risk of mechanical damage.

• Copper wire or tape screening for install conditions subject to electrical fields.

• Nylon jacketing or brass tapes to resist termite or rodent attack.

• Flexible conductors for ease of installation.

• Low smoke, halogen free cables to limit exposure to hazardous emissions in the event of fire.

Note In all cases, cables should be installed by a licensed electrician in a manner that is compliant with the requirements of AS/NZS 3000.

Maximum Pulling Tension (kN)

The number of cables that can be installed in a circular conduit can be calculated

using the following equation:

Number of cables =

internal cross sectional area of enclosure

x space factor

cross sectional area of cable

The space factor to be used is as follows:

For one cable in enclosure: 0.5

For two cables in enclosure: 0.33

For three or more cables in enclosure: 0.4

Alternatively, tables C9 to C11 of AS/NZS 3000 provide a detailed list of the number

of cables of each type that can be installed in various types of conduit.

Applicable Standards

Storage

Keep the drum standing upright, using wedges in the heels of the flanges.

Keep in sequence. Only drums with protection lagging may be stacked flange on flange. Lower layer to be secured over full drum.

Do not leave drums on their side.

Transport

Roll the drum in the direction used during cable reeling.

Drums may be lifted either by fork-lift truck or crane with appropriate lifting attachments.

The forks of the truck must be longer than the width of the drum, so that the lagging is not damaged. When moving the drum, tilt the truck mast so that the drum remains in the fork and the points do not touch the ground.

Insufficient raising may cause the drum to be dragged on the ground and damaged or dropped off the forks if the ground surface is uneven. Do not release the drum until the truck has stopped completely. Do not push the drum with the truck.

86

Drum Handling Guide

Unwind this way Never unwind this way

Re-Winding

Recommended Not recommended

Nail with CAUTION

If the wooden lagging needs to be refastened, the nailing should be done carefully in the middle of the drum flange.
