Applications
FIREX-II TECK Cables, originally

developed for use in Canadian
mines, are flexible, resistant to
mechanical abuse, corrosion
resistant, compact and reliable. They
are suitable for a wide range of
applications, including ALL
hazardous locations.
Industries such as pulp and paper,

chemical, petroleum and other
primary and secondary
manufacturing industries have used
FIREX-II TECK Cables, particularly in
areas where cables are subject to the
risk of mechanical damage and
chemical attack.
Commercial applications for FIREX-II

TECK Cables include apartment
buildings and commercial complexes.
FIREX-II TECK Cables can be

relocated easily because they are
rugged and flexible. They can be
used in both dry and wet locations in
open wiring, in ventilated, non-
ventilated and ladder-type cable
troughs, in ventilated flexible
cableways, and for direct burial.
TECK Cables are also suitable for
service entrance installations above
and below ground.

Inductive Reactance
The inductive reactance of cables in a multicable circuit is:
( )
GMD
XL = 0.0754 ln GMR /km to neutral at 60 Hz
where GMD = equivalent axial spacing or axial distance between the phase
conductors in the circuit in mm
GMR = geometric mean radius of the phase conductor. For compact
round conductors GMR = 0.38 conductor diameter. (See Stranded
Bare Copper and Aluminum Conductor Information.)
Capacitive Reactance
Capacitive reactance is calculated from capacitance:
Xc = 1 = 2650 km at 60 Hz
2fC C
where C = capacitance in F/km
For single conductor insulated, and shielded cables with outer metallic layer:
C = 0.0556 F/km
ln (D/d)
where = dielectric constant of insulation (= 2.3 for XLPE)
D = diameter over cable dielectric
d = diameter under cable dielectric
Note: Capacitive reactance can normally be neglected for open lines up to
about 40 km or in cables up to 20 km in length.
Charging Current
Charging current is calculated from capacitance and voltage as follows:
lch = 2fCE = 377 CE mA/km at 60 Hz
where C = capacitance in F/km (see above)

E = line to neutral voltage in kV
Voltage Drop
For multi conductor cables and single conductor cables at close spacing, voltage
drop may be determined by use of the method shown in the following pages.
Where necessary to calculate for single conductors spaced apart, the following
formula will give sufficiently accurate results:
Es Er = l (R cos + XL sin) V/km to neutral
where Es = sending end voltage, V

Er = receiving end voltage, V
l = current A
R = resistance of conductor, /km
XL = inductive reactance of conductors, /km
= load power factor angle (NB: 100 cos = % load power factor)
It is important, when determining limiting voltage drops, that the correct voltage
is used, i.e. line-to-line, or line-to-neutral.
29
Voltage Drop
The voltage drop curves contained in this publication are applicable to aluminum
armoured TECK cables. For steel armoured TECK cables, increase the values
obtained from the curves by 20% to estimate the voltage drop.
In the table for 3 phase 60Hz Voltage Drop Single Conductor TECK are curves of
voltage drop for single and 3 conductor cables with copper conductors, 3 phase,
60 cycles. The voltage drop for 4 conductor cables, such as in a 3 phase, 4 wire
grounded neutral system, may be taken from the curve for a 3 conductor cable,
where the fourth conductor carries only unbalance current of a 3 phase system.
The voltage drop curves are generated using the following formula:
Voltage Drop = Rcos + XLsin (volts/amp-km)
where: R = AC resistance (ohms/km)

XL = inductive reactance (ohms/km)
= load power factor angle
(NB: 100cos = % load power factor)
To calculate the net voltage drop for a specific application, the following formula
must be used to account for systems other than 3 phase, circuit length and current:
Net Voltage Drop = f x K x I x L

Net Voltage Drop = 1000
where: f = system correction factor (see below)

K = voltage drop factor from curve (v/amps-km)
I = current carried by one conductor (amps)
L = circuit length (meters)
Since the curves are based on a 3 phase line-to-neutral system, the following
correction factor (f) must be used in the voltage drop calculation:
System Correction Factor (f)

1 phase, 2 wire (120 V branch circuits) 2
1 phase, 3 wire (240 V residential circuits) 2
1 phase, 3 wire line-to-line 2
3 phase, 3 wire line-to-line 1.73
3 phase, 4 wire line-to-line 1.73
3 phase, 4 wire line-to-neutral 1
The following examples illustrate the proper use of the voltage drop formula and
factors:
Example 1
Find the voltage drop and percent drop given the following:

load 200 amps at 90% load power factor.
30
SOLUTION
Find the K factor from the single conductor TECK Voltage Drop Curve; for 250
kcmil conductor at 90% Load Factor we get:
K = 0.250 volts per 1000 amp meters
therefore, from the voltage drop formula we calculate the voltage drop as:
Voltage Drop = 1 x 0.250 x 200 x 250

1000
Voltage Drop = 12.5 volts

or
Voltage Drop = 12.5 x 100%
Voltage Drop = 347
Voltage Drop = 3.6%
Example 2
Consider the above example with a three-conductor TECK and the same
conditions.
SOLUTION
Find the K factor from the three conductor TECK Voltage Drop Curve; for 250
kcmil conductor at 90% Load Factor we get:
K = 0.195 volts per 1000 amp meters
therefore, from the voltage drop formula we calculate the voltage drop as:
Voltage Drop = 1 x 0.195 x 200 x 250

1000
Voltage Drop = 9.75 volts

or
Voltage Drop = 9.75 x 100%
Voltage Drop = 347
Voltage Drop = 2.8%

TECK Short circuit Capacity XLPE Insulated Copper Conductors
Short circuit Calculations

The short circuit capabilities of the conductors of a cable for a given duration
depend principally on their heat capacities, and are limited by the maximum
temperature permitted under short-circuit conditions. The temperature limits
established by Nexans are as follows:
250C at phase conductor

200C at shield or concentric bonding conductor
The following graph provides a means of estimating the short circuit capacity of
copper XLPE or TRXLPE Insulated conductors. These curves are plotted for
durations in cycles (60 Hz basis). Logarithmic interpolation will provide values for
intermediate durations. The curves may also be used to determine the amount of
conducting material required for a known short-circuit condition.
It is important to limit short circuit durations to no more than 2 or 3 seconds as no

heat flow is taken into account in the functions used to calculate these curves.

INSTALLATION DATA
Pulling Tension Limits

It is recommended that FIREX -II TECK Cables be pulled on the conductors using
a pulling eye where necessary. The maximum permissible tension is 8 lbf/kcmil
(=10,000 lbf/in2) for single conductor cables. For three conductor cables
recommended maximum pulling tension is 16 lbf/kcmil based on the area of one
conductor only. To avoid displacing the armour it may be necessary to use a
basket grip over the outer jacket as well as the pulling eye. The use of guide
rollers or other friction-reducing devices is highly recommended.
Low-temperature Installation
Nexans FIREX -II TECK Cables meet CSA cold bend and impact requirements at
minus 40C. These tests are conducted under carefully controlled laboratory
conditions to ensure comparability of results from different laboratories.
Since actual field conditions are not subject to such control it is recommended
that, wherever possible, provision be made for the heating of cables to at least
minus 10C until the actual cable installation. This will minimize the risk of
damaging cables in very cold weather.
Vertical Installation
For vertical installations, the use of a messenger may be necessary to support the
cable during installation. Offsets may well be necessary for final positioning of
the cable. Please consult your nearest Nexans Sales Office for recommendations
and information on Vertex cable.
Bending Radius
Nexans FIREX -II TECK Cables are flexible and can be trained easily. The
following table gives minimum bending radius factors for final training. During
installation, and especially while pulling, bending radii should be twice the values
shown below:
Up to 5 kV
(Unshielded) 7 x Outside Diameter
Over 5 kV and all

metal tape shielded 12 x Outside Diameter
cable
Note: The bending radius is that of the inner surface of the cable at the bend.
In all cases these values are for permanent training after installation. Larger radii
are recommended wherever the cable is being pulled under tension, preferably not
less than twice and in no case less than 1.5 times the values for permanent
training.
36
Pulling Tension Calculations

The maximum pulling tension on a cable should not exceed:
a) where pulled by means of the conductor(s)
70nA newtons (N) for copper
50nA N for aluminum
where n = 1 for single conductor cable
1.5 for 2C cable
2 for 3C cable and for triplexed 1C cables
A = cross-section of one conductor (mm2)
b) where pulled by means of a basket grip over an outer jacket or
concentric wires 5000 N or value from (a) above, whichever is the lower.
The tension resulting from a given duct installation is calculated as follows:

a) T = 9.8 LWf (for a straight section)
where T = pulling tension, N
L = length of duct section, m
W = linear mass of cable, kg/m
f = coefficient of friction, typically 0.35
b) T = T2 + T1efa (for a duct with a bend)
where T 2 = tension for the straight section following the bend
(calculated as in (a) above)
T 1 = tension for the straight section preceding the bend
e = 2.71828
f = coefficient of friction
a = angle of bend, radians
efa is evaluated for some common conditions:
efa
bend angle f = 0.3 f = 0.35 f = 0.4
30 1.17 1.20 1.23
45 1.27 1.32 1.37
60 1.37 1.44 1.52
90 1.60 1.73 1.88
At any bend the tension should not exceed 3600 N/m of radius of the bend in
order to avoid excessive compression forces in the cable.
Assuming the illustrated duct layout and:

triplexed 3 x 1/c 500 kcmil copper 15 kV cable
linear mass = 11.0 kg/m
f = 0.35
pulling from A to F
Tension at B (T1) = 9.8 x 60 x 11.0 x 0.35 = 2270 N
Tension at C (T2) = T1efa = 2270 x 1.32 = 3000 N
Tension at D (T3) = 3000 + (9.8 x 20 x 11.0 x 0.35) = 3755 N
Tension at E (T4) = T3efa = 3755 x 1.73 = 6500 N
Tension at F (T5) = 6500 + (9.8 x 30 x 11.0 x 0.35) = 7630 N
37
The maximum permissible tension on this cable would be

70 x 2 x 253 = 35,420 N
The tension at E = 6500/3 = 2170 N/m of radius, which is not excessive;

however, it is prudent to reduce this value, if possible, by comparing the results if
the cable is pulled from F to A:
Tension at E (T1) = 9.8 x 30 x 11.0 x 0.35 = 1130 N
Tension at D (T2) = 1130 x 1.73 = 1960 N
Tension at C (T3) = 1960 + (9.8 x 20 x 11.0 x 0.35) = 2715 N
Tension at B (T4) = 2715 x 1.32 = 3580 N
Tension at A (T5) = 3580 + (9.8 x 60 x 11.0 x 0.35) = 5840 N
Pulling from F to A results in significantly lower tensions in the bends and overall,
and should be selected as the preferred direction of pulling.
