I NTRODUCTION
POLYCAB has established its name in India and abroad for its quality and commitment to customer
satisfaction.
To meet ever increasing demand of POLYCAB cables, POLYCAB has put up a new state of the
art manufacturing unit at Daman (U.T.). The manufacturing of XLPE insulated heavy duty cables
is by adoptation of latest technology. The XLPE cables are manufactured as per IS-7098 Part-1 & Part2 and can be manufactured to meet the requirements of any international standards like BS 5467,
IEC-60502, DIN etc.
The XLPE compound used is obtained from reputed international sources meeting all required parameters.
The cables are manufactured in highly quality conscious environment with testing and inspection
done from raw-materials to finished cable stage. The assurance to the quality is further ensured by ISI
certification on cables and ISO-9002 certification by UL, USA.
XLPE Cables
The XLPE insulated heavy duty cables were introduced worldwide in mid sixties. These cables
have overcome the limitations of PVC Insulated Cables, such as thermal degradation, poor moisture
resistant and thermoplastic in nature.
The advantages of XLPE Insulated cables in comparision to those of PVC insulated cables are as under :(A) Technical Advantages :

Higher current rating, higher short Circuit Rating. Approx. 1.2 times that of PVC.
Thermosetting in nature.
Higher insulation resistance 1000 times more than PVC cables.
Better Resistance to surge currents.
Low Dielectric Losses.
Better resistance to chemicals and corrosion.
Longer service life.
Comparatively higher cable operating temperature 90oC and short circuit temperature 250oC.
(B) Commercial Advantages :

Lower laying cost because of comparatively smaller diameter of cable and lighter weight.*
Requiring less size of cable trays / supports.
One size lower cables can be used as compared to PVC insulated cable. **
* Density of XLPE is lower than PVC

** For longer cable length voltage drop shall be considered.

Selection Of Power Cables

Power cables are generally selected considering the application. However following factors are important
for selection of suitable cable construction required to transport electrical energy from one end to the
other.

Maximum operating voltage.
Insulation level.
Frequency.
Load to be carried.
Possible overloading duration & magnitude.
Route length and voltage drop.
Mode of insulation considering installation environment such as ambient & ground

temperature chemical & physical properties of soil.

Flame retardant properties.
Plant safety requirements.
All sizes of POLYCAB XLPE cables are designed to standard operating conditions in India and abroad
The standards adopted are considering the geographic / climatic conditions and general applications
of power for utilities, distribution and general purposes.
The cables are manufactured conforming to Indian & International specification for XLPE
Insulated cables. Customer specific requirements can also be met.
Polycab is manufacturers wide range of cables, it is therefore important that while placing
enquiries or orders, as much information as possible should be furnished, so that the enquiries and
orders are dealt quickly and efficiently .
Parameters required are as under

Voltage Grade 1100 Volts.
Relevant Indian Standard IS - 7098 (Part-1) 1988 or

International standard IEC - 60502 & BS - 5467, DIN.

Number of cores Single, Two, Three, Three & Half or Four Cores.

POLYCAB RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CURRENT RATINGS:
The current rating of power cable is defined by the maximum intensity of current (amperes) which can
flow continuously through the cable, under permanent loading conditions, without any risk of damaging
the cable or deterioration of its electrical properties.
The value given in the tables are valid for one circuit in a three phase system under conditions specified.
For grouping cables rating factors must be used.
The current carrying capacities mentioned in POLYCAB technical data are intended as a guide, to assist
operating engineers in selecting cables for safety and reliability.
Basic assumptions and conditions of installation :
Ambient Ground Temperature :
30 C.
Ambient Air Temperature
40 C.
Depth of cable burial
750 mm.
Thermal resistivity of soil
150 C. Cm/W
Max. conductor Temperature

for Continuous Operation
90 C.
Max. Conductor Temperature

for Short Circuit
250 C.
Single core cables are installed as indicated in the table. Spacing between cables in flat formation
is as indicated.
For three and four core cables, it is usual to assume the same current carrying capacity for four cores
cables as for three core cables. Our calculated values are based actually on three cores cables. These
values are suitable with enough accuracy also for four core cables in most cases. Only for large four
core cables in air the values may be found to be too conservative, due to the large cable surface and
consequent high heat dissipation factor.
To obtain the maximum current carrying capacity of a cable operating at different conditions from the
standard. Various rating factors are to be multiplied, as follows :Ia = K x Is
in amperes
Where ;

I a : Current rating at actual operating conditions (amperes)
I s : Current rating at standard operating conditions (amperes)
K : Rating factor as, applicable.

HANDLING STORAGE AND LAYING OF POLYCAB XLPE CABLES

A) HANDLING : 1) The cable with or without drum shall not be thrown or dropped on the ground
from the carriers such as trucks or railway wagons, during unloading.
2) The cable drum shall be unloaded with the help of cranes or fork lifts or using a
proper ramp having inclination 1:3 to 1:4 in order to avoid mechanical damage
to the outer layers of cables.
3) The cable drums shall be lifted or stored with its flanges always vertical.
4) The cable drum shall be rolled in the direction of arrow only, in order to avoid
loosening of cable winding. The drum shall not be rolled on rocky, uneven
surface and for longer distances, it may damage the drum and cable.
B) STORAGE : 1) The cables shall be stored in dry covered places having concrete / firm surface
capable of bearing the load of drum.
2) The cable ends shall be sealed properly in order to prevent moisture ingress.
3) Antirodent / termite repulsion treatment shall be applied to the site where
the drum are stored for very long period of time.
C) LAYING
: 1) Polycab recommends the laying and installation of cables as per IS:1255/84.
2) Care shall be taken during laying to avoid sharp bending, and twisting .
3) Cable shall be un wound from the drum by lifting the drum on the center
shaft supported both ends with suitable jacks / stands.
4) Under no circumstances the cable winding shall be lifted off a coil or drum
lying flat at the flanges. This would cause serious twist and damages.
5) Suitable protection shall be provided to the cables against mechanical damages,
it includes covers, pipes etc.
D) Recommended minimum bending radius for 1100 volts heavy duty cables :

Single Core -
MultiCore
15 x D
Where D= Diameter of cable in mm
12 x D
E) Recommended safe Pulling force with stockings :

a) For Unarmoured Cable : P = 5 D2
b) For Armoured Cable
Where P= Pulling Force
: P = 9 D2
D= Diameter of cable in mm
F) Recommended safe pulling force when pulled with pulling eye :

a) For Aluminium Conductors : 30 N/mm2
b) For Copper Condxuctor

Note : All figures given in various tables are indicative only.
