It also provides many of the procedures used to evaluate these characteristics. Since this specification supplements ANSI/ICEA -94-649 and S-97-682, in many cases the performance requirements and procedures are outined in other standards or publications. References to sections of ANSI/ICEA Standards S-94-849 and S-97-682 within this specification are shown as "ANSI/ICEA". All other references are to sections within this specification unless otherwise specified Test requirements and procedures are presented separately in this specification as described below. Sections 2-8: Performance requirements for production lots of cable. Section Cable identification. Section 10: Test procedures used to measure performance requirements, Sections 11-14: Reporting, sampling, and shipping information. Section 15: Requirements and procedures to qualify cable designs. 4.6 Resampling If a sample fails the requirements of this specification, manufacturer shall either reject the lot from which the sample was taken, or provide the results of the original test and retest additional sample(s) from the Jot according to the requirements outlined for each test or according to ANSICEA. Ifthe additional sample(s) fail, the lot shall be rejected. 1.7 Information Supplied by Purchaser 1.7.4 Inquiries When requesting proposals from cable manufacturers, the purchaser's inquiry should include information according to ANSUICEA. 1.7.2 Guarantee ‘The purchaser should state the period of the guarantee, See Section 13.0 (Guarantee) 1.7.3 Fault Current Requi ‘The purchaser should furnish the design value of phase-to-ground fault current in symmetrical amperes, the duration in cycles, and reclosing practices. ments, 1.7.4 Alternative Proposals ‘Any manufacturer who is asked to submit proposals under this specification and who believes that equally good, better, or more suitable cable could be furnished under different specifications, should submit an alternative proposal. This proposal should contain the recommended changes or additions to this specification together with the reasons for the suggested departures from this specification. Manufacturers are encouraged to submit alternative praposals for cable systems they consider superior to those specified herein, clearly stating the advantages in terms of cost, reliability, longevity, installation methods, etc. The alternative proposal shall meet or exceed all the technical requirements of this ‘specification and contain the recommended changes or additions to it, together with the reasons and appropriate supporting data. 8.07 Page 5ECIFICATION FOR EXTRUDED DIELECTRIC, SHIELDED POWER CABLES RATED 5 THROUGH 46 HV acc Notwithstanding the foregoing, a conforming proposal shall be submitted as a basis for comparing the alternative, before the alternative proposal will be considered by the purchaser. 1.8 Operating Limits For additional information, please see AEIC CG-6, "Guide for Establishing the Maximum Operating Temperatures of Extruded Dielectric Insulated Shielded Power Cables’ 4.8.1 Maximum Conductor Temperatures ‘The design and construction of the cable shall allow it to operate satisfactory at conductor temperatures not exceeding those shown in ANSI/ICEA. (See Table D.4-1 in Appendix D for reference.) The temperatures under the subheading "Normal Operation” are applicable to cables which operate with load cycles typical of electric utility systems, Utilities may wish to specify lower temperatures. Generally, this decision is based on unsatisfactory results of 15.3 (Thermomechanical Qualification Test) where a design similar fo the one used by the utlty is tested at the emergency conductor temperature, A lower temperature rating is acceptable if the cable is not expected to operate above that temperature, 4.8.2 Emergency Operating Temperatures The temperatures in ANSIICEA under the subheading "Emergency Operation” are applicable for 1500 hours cumulative during the life of the cable. (See Table D.4-1 in Appendix D for reference.) This limit is based on data from EPRI report EL-5757, "Thermal Overload Characteristics of Extruded Dielectric Cables.” Joint and termination limitations, PVC jackets, metallic shield designs, or cable environmental conditions may require the use of lower emergency operating temperatures, Users of jacketed cables are encouraged to review the results of 15.3 (Thermomechanical Qualification Test) on cables similar to their own design to help establish an emergency operating temperature for the specific cable used on their system. 4.8.3 Metallic Shield Short-Circuit Capability Maximum short-circuit limits for cable metallic shields may be determined using the procedures outlined in 1) ICEA P-45-482 "Short-Circuit Performance of Metallic Shielding and Sheaths of Insulated Cable", 2) ‘actual short-circuit tests, of 3) EPRI EL-3014, “Optimization of the Design of Metallic Shield-Concentric Conductors of Extruded Dielectric Cables under Fault Conditions”. The ICEA procedure is easy 10 use but it may lead to very conservatively designed metallic shields with more conductance than is required for reliable operation. Actual short-circuit tests are a good means of determining the short-circuit capability of a cable metalic shield. These tests require specialized equipment, The EPRI method uses calculations that optimize metallic shields on extruded dielectric cables. Manufacturer shall provide information which substantiates the short-circuit capability of a given cable design. 1.8.4 Ampacity Limits ‘Maximum conductor temperatures at the hottest portion of the circuit may be used in ampacity calculations when adequate information is known about the overall thermal characteristics of the cable ‘environment to assure that these temperatures will not be exceeded, In the absence of this information, the permissible conductor temperatures shall be reduced by 10°C or according to available data 1.9 Industry Standards References to industry standards or publications are provided in Appendix A.

TON FOR EXTRUDED APPENDIX B Cable Diameters ECTRIC, SHIELDE! wv Cables have been manufactured to AEIC specifications for many years. Cable diameter tables have been published in AEIC specifications since 1971 and have been used by cable specifiers as a convenient method to determine diameters ‘or specifying cables and their accessories. These diameter tables have also been used by cable accessory manufacturers for many years to design the size ranges of their cable accessories. ‘The diameter calculation methods were developed with cable manufacturing tolerances that were available at the time. With the improvements in cable manufacturing processes over the years, tolerances were becoming much more accurate and manufacturing methods allowed for improvements in these diameter calculations. The ICEA published new cable standards (ANSI/ICEA Standards S-94-649-1997 and S-97-682-2000) in 1997 and 2000, respectively that determined diameters based on minimum and maximum thicknesses of the conductor shield, insulation, and insulation shield. The result is that the diameters published in those standards are generally smaller than diameters of cable that had been manufactured to earlier AEIC specifications. The AEIC followed the ICEA with the publication of CS8-00 which also used these ‘minimum and maximum layer thicknesses. However, because of all the cable that is in service that had been manufactured to the earlier diameters, the AEIC decided to keep the original AEIC diameter tables in CS8-00 so that engineers were assured that cable accessories would stil it their cable that was in service, The intent was to allow cable accessory manufacturers to begin to develop accessories that would meet these requirements. ‘Additionally, for the 1975 and 1979 editions of the CSS specification, the diameters for compressed conductors had been calculated with a 98% compression rather than the minimum allowed compression of 97% to allow for manufacturing tolerances. Cable manufactured to these two editions of CSS could have larger maximum diameters over the insulation and insulation shield, especially for the larger conductors. The tables in Appendix C of this specification were developed for application of cable accessories. The main purpose of the tables is to maintain compatibility with cable accessories. This includes terminations {and also jointing new cable manufactured with smaller minimum diameters to cable in service that was ‘manufactured to the earlier specifications with larger maximum diameters. The minimum diameters in these tables are based on ANSI/ICEA calculations and the maximum diameters are based on former AEIC calculations, Users should review all of their cable accessories before adopting the cable dimensions as shown in these tables. cs8.07 Page 21‘SPECIFICATION FOR EXTRUDED DIELECTRIC, SHIELDED POWER CABLES RATED 5 THROUGH 46 KV.
