Repair of high-voltage cable metallic sheaths

Four Fast I. Functions of Metallic Sheaths and Necessity of RepairThe metallic sheath of high-voltage cables is a metal shielding structure laid outside the insulation layer, including types such as lead sheaths, aluminum sheaths, and steel wire armor. Its core functions include mechanical protection (resisting external impact and compression), electrochemical corrosion protection (isolating moisture and soil pollutants), electromagnetic shielding (reducing electromagnetic interference to the environment)

Considerations and Recommendations for Flame-Retardant Selection of High-Voltage Cables

Four Fast 1.Flame-Retardant Cable Classification StandardsThe flame-retardant standard system is divided into two main categories. The first category follows the "Classification of Burning Behavior for Electric and Optical Fiber Cables" GB 31247. Cables complying with this standard system are widely used in densely populated areas such as high-speed railways and subways. This standard imposes strict requirements on parameters such as smoke density, heat release, and total smoke production, and cables typi

Analysis of Abnormal Causes of High-Voltage Cable Grounding Circulation and Typical Cases

Four Fast I. Introduction to Cable Grounding Loop CurrentCables rated 110 kV and above use a single-core structure. The alternating magnetic field generated by the operating current induces a voltage on the metallic sheath. If the sheath forms a closed circuit through the earth, a grounding loop current will flow on the metallic sheath. Excessive grounding loop current (loop current exceeding 50 A, more than 20% of the load current, or a ratio of maximum-to-minimum phase current greater than 3) not only a

Withstand voltage test of high-voltage cables

Four Fast Withstand voltage test is an insulation test, but it is a destructive test that can reveal insulation defects difficult to detect in non-destructive testing.The test cycle for high-voltage cables is three years, and it must be conducted after non-destructive tests. In other words, the withstand voltage test is performed only after all non-destructive tests have been passed.Most high-voltage cables used today are cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables, which can have large cross-sections and cov

Constant testing of high-voltage cable lines

Four Fast 1. Definition of High-Voltage Cable Line Constant TestingHigh-voltage cable line constant testing refers to the systematic measurement, using specialized instruments, of electrical parameters such as resistance, inductance, capacitance, and conductance before a cable line is commissioned or after major maintenance. The aim is to obtain fundamental data characterizing the electromagnetic properties of the cable, serving as a critical testing phase that provides accurate parameter support for powe
