Manufacturers are encouraged to submit altornative proposals for cable systems they consider superior to those spectfied 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 coniain the recommended changes or additions to it, together with the reasons and appropriate supporting data cs8-07 Page 5“SPECIFICATION FOR EXTRUDED DIELECTRIC, SHIELDED POWER CABLES RATED 5 THROUGH 46 KV AEIC Notwithstanding the foregaing, @ conforming proposal shail be submitted as a basis for companng the alternative. before the alternative proposal will be considered by the purchaser. 4.8 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 satisfactoriy at conductor temperatures not exceeding those shawn 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 rasults of 15.3 (Thermomechanical Quaification Test) where a design similar fo the one used by the utility is tested at the emergency conductor temparature. A lower temperature rating is acceptable if the cable is not expected to operate above that temperature 1.8.2 Emergency Operating Temperatures ‘The temperatures in ANSV/ICEA under the subheading "Emergency Operation” are applicable for 1500 hours cumulative during the Ife of the cable. (Gee Table D.4-1 in Appandix D for reference ) This limit is based on data from EPRI report EL-5767, "Thermal Overload Characteristics of Extruded Dielectric Cables." Joint end termination limitations, PVC jackets, metallic shield designs, or cable environmental conditions may require the use of lower emergency operating temperatures. Users of jaoketed cables are encouraged to review the results of 15.3 (Thermomechanical Quaification Test) on cables similar to their own design to help establish an emergency operating temperature for the specific cable used on their system. 1.8.3 Metallic Shield Short-Circuit Capability Maximum short-circuit limits for cable metallic shields may be determined using the procedures outlined in 1] ICEA P-25-482 "Short-Circutt Performance of Metallic Shielding and Sheaths of Insulated Cable", 2) ‘actual short-circuit tests, or 3) EPRI EL-3014, "Optimization of the Design of Metallic Shield-Concentric Conductors of Exiruded Dielectric Cables under Fault Conditions’. The ICEA procedure is easy to use put it may load 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 gyven cable design. 4.8.4 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 io 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 dete. 4.9 Industry Standards References to industry standards or publications are provided in Appendix A, Page 6 cse-07cic SPECIFICATION FOR EXTRUDED DIELECTRIC, SHIELDED POWER CABLES RATED § THROUGH 46 kV 1.10.

The test results shall be reported in the appropriate Certified Qualification Test Report 15.2 Core Qualification Tests ‘The Core Qualification Tests shall be performed according to ANS /ICEA with the following additional requirements, 15.2.1 Tree Count Test To understand the relationship between tree growth under accelerated aging conditions and cable performance beiter, the manufacturer shall count the water and electrical tees that grow in the insulation of cable samples subjected to the Accelerated Water Treeing Test, The count shall be performed by ‘examining cross-sectional wafers cut adjacent to and as close as practical to the High Voltago Timo Test breakdown site on the three samples aged for 120 cays, the three samples aged for 180 days, and the three samples aged for 360 days. The Flow Chart for Qualification Tests shows these Tree Count tests Inthe Flow Chart the paragraph numbers refer to those of ANSWICEA Itis understood that tree counting is not an exact science. To count trees, wafers must bo dyed to ‘enhance the detection of trees, and then examined under microscope, While there is no universally accepted procedure for dyeing or examining the wafers, the AEIC believes that the techniques now generally used by manufacturers and laboratories are adequate for generating engineering information This information will be used by the AEIC members to understand the treeing process better and to make improvements in the Accelerated Water Tresing Test. 38-07 Page 13,JON £OR EXTRUDED DIELECTRIC, SHIELDED POWER CABLES RATED § THROUGH 46 KV Acie The information is intended for engineering information only Two examinations for trees are required. ‘The first. called a General Examination, shall be performed according to the requirements of 1 2.1.1 following Tests 5, 6, and 7 in the Flow Chart for Qualification Tests.

Cable diameter tables have been published in AEIC specifications since 1971 and have been used by cable specifiers as a convenient methos to determine diameters ‘or specifying cables and ther accessories. These diameter tables have also been used by cable accessory manufacturers for many years lo 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 accurale and manufacturing methods allowed far improvements in these diameter calculations The ICEA published new cable standards (ANSI/ICEA Standards $-94-649-1987 and 5-97-682-2000) in 1997 and 2000, respectively that determined diameters based on minimum and maximum thicknesses of the conductor shield, insuiation, and insulation shield. The results 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 's in service that had been manufactured to the earlier diameters, the AEIC decided to keep the original AEIC diameter tables in C$8-00 so that engineers were assurad that cable accessories would stil fit their cable that was in service. The intent was to allow cable accessory manulaciurers to bagin 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 bean calculated with 3 98% compression rather than the minimum allowed compression of 97% to allow for manufacturing tolerances. Cabie manufactured to these two editions of CS5 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 compatbilty 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 dameters 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. css.07 Page 24FICATION FOR, D DIELECTRIC, SI /OWER CABLES RATED.
