LOW
VOLTAGE CABLES
PVC Insulated: PARTEX CABLES low voltage PVC insulated cables are widely used
and have a long term permissible operational temperature of up to 70˚C. These cables
can be used either indoors or outdoors as buried, in ducts or cable trays in power and
switching stations, local distribution systems, industrial plants and commercial
buildings for voltage requirements of 0.6/1.0 kV and up to 1.8/3.0 kV. The cables have
perfect bending properties for easy installation and maintenance, which make them
the preferred choice for indoor machinery and control equipment application.
XLPE Insulated: PARTEX CABLES low voltage XLPE insulated cables are excellent insulated material that has several
advantages over conventional thermoplastic insulated materials. Some of these advantages include zero halogen, higher
durability, longer operational life and excellent chemical resistance. It also has a higher permissible operational temperature
of up to 90˚C and hence allows the cables to withstand a greater current rating compared to PVC cables. This variance gets
wider as the conductor size increases. This is also the reason XLPE-insulated cables are widely chosen where bigger cables
are required for main power supply.
Should there be a requirement for ground emplacement; the armored cable is preferred for higher electrical and mechanical protection.
On the other hand, XLPE-insulated cables are less flexible compared to PVC cables, hence making it a less favorable choice for
smaller conductor size cables where the current rating advantage is less significant.

FIRE SURVIVAL
CABLES
In fire disasters, the key obstacles to safe evacuation from the affected
area are smoke, heat and toxic fumes as well as the failure of critical
electrical installations to perform their functions.
To overcome these challenges, one of PARTEX CABLES key products is
the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) fire resistant cable.
With the use of a unique fire barrier tape as an insulation, these cables
enable long term circuit integrity of the critical installations such as fire
alarms, smoke detectors, emergency lights, sprinklers, public address
systems and controls and instrumentation services of critical equipment
in industrial, hospital, commercial and residential complex. These cables
with LSZH properties emit low smoke and no toxic gases and thus
prevent chocking, irritation to the eyes, mouth, nose and lungs to
promote safe evacuation.

INSTRUMENTATION
CABLES
Instrumentation cables are used in data processing and process control
for electrical instruments and control equipment in industrial processing
plants. Various designs and plastic materials are used to cater to
different requirements.
The shielding screen gives protection to the screened pairs against
electro-magnetic radiation from electrical equipment and lightning
strikes as well as against fields surrounding power lines and
transformers. Drain wires connected to Mylar-type shields provide a
simple mean of connecting all the shields to a common ground.
Steel wire armoured cable is suitable for field installations in damp
locations and underground. Steel wire braided version provides more
flexibility to small compartment installations such as on shipboards and
offshore platforms where added protection is required.

CURRENT RATINGS
The current carrying capacity of a cable is determined by the following factors:
1. Current flowing in a conductor generates heat and causes the conductor temperature to rise above the ambient temperature.
2. Different methods of installation or the presence of external heat source such as, adjacent cables vary the rate of heat dissipation.
3. The insulation material determines the maximum conductor temperature which can be sustained continuously over the expected life of the cable.
In all cases, the ratings given are the single circuit ratings, corresponding to continuous loading at the maximum conductor temperature appropriate to
the insulation material.

CURRENT RATING ASSUMPTION
• The calculation of the current ratings, current rating equations (100% load factor) and calculation of losses are based on IEC 60287 series and the
value of current ratings for under ground applications (in duct or direct burried). The ratings for a cable installed in air are adopted from BS 7671,
IEE wiring regulations, 17th edition.
• The calculation is based on the standard dimensions of cables based on IEC 60502-1, which may have a slight difference from the applied cable dimension
which are following the best common manufacturing practices.
• The values given in the tables are for one circuit installed thermally isolated from other circuits or any other heat source.
• The basis of the standard conditions is the climative condition of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, which is:
- Ambient air temperature 35oC
- Ambient ground temperature 30oC
- Depth of laying in ground 0.5m
- Soil thermal resistivity 1.2 K.m/W
• For other installation conditions or any value of different air/ burried/ ducts, ground temperature, depth of laying, different soil thermal resistivity the
customer is advised to multiply the tabulated current rating by the de-rating factor value as in below tables:

INSTALLATION CONDITIONS FOR DIRECT BURIAL CABLES

For a cable installed direct buried, the following tables will be used to calculate the current rates based on the actual soil thermal resistivity, ground ambient

cosф = Power factor of equipment of system under consideration

eff. = Efficiency of motor or machinery
V = Line voltage

VOLTAGE DROP (per core/ per amp. / per km)

When the current flows in conductor, there is a voltage drop between the ends of the conductor. For low voltage cable network of normal operation, it is
advisable of a voltage drop of 3-5%.
To calculate voltage drop, use the following:
1. For single phase circuit:
Vd = 2I L (R cos ф + X sin ф)
2. For three phase circuit:
Vd = √3I L (R cos ф + X sin ф)

Where:
Vd = Voltage drop (V)
I = Load current (A)
R = AC resistance (Ω/km)
X = Reactance (Ω/km)
L = Length (km)
cosф = Power factor
Relation between cosф and sinф as following:

cosф 1.0 0.90 0.80 0.71 0.60 0.50

USER GUIDELINES
(Packaging, transport, storage, laying and installation)
PACKAGING, TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
a) Cables are generally received wound on wooden drums, both the ends of the cable being easily accessible for inspection and testing. However, short
lengths may be transported without drums.

b) In case of PVC and XLPE cables sealed plastic caps should be used.

c) The cable drums or coils must not be dropped or thrown from railway wagons or trucks during unloading operations. A ramp or crane may be used
for unloading cable drums. If neither of those is available, a temporary ramp with inclination 1:3 to 1:4 approximately should be constructed. The cable
drum should then be rolled over the ramp by means of ropes and winches. Additionally a sand bed at the foot of the ramp may be made to break the
rolling of cable drum.

d) The arrows painted on the flange of the drum indicate the direction in which the drum should be rolled. The cable will unwind and become loose if the
drum is rolled in the opposite direction.

e) The site chosen for storage of cable drums should be well-drained and should preferably have a concrete surface/ firm which will not cause the drums
to sink and thus lead to flange rot and extreme difficulty in moving the drums.

f) All drums should be stored in such a manner as to leave sufficient space between them for air circulation. It is desirable for the drums to stand on
battens placed directly under the flanges. During storage, the drum should be rolled to an angle of 90o once every three months.

g) In no case should the drums be stored ‘on the flat’; that is, with flange horizontal.

h) Overhead covering is not essential unless the storage is for a very long period. The cable should, however, be protected from direct rays of the sun by
leaving the battes on or by providing some from the sun shielding.

i) When for any reason, it is necessary to rewind a cable on to another drum, the barrel of the drum should have a diameter not less that that of the
original drum.

ROLL
THIS WAY

Secure drums adequately before transportation. Roll in the direction shown by the arrow.

Lifting cable drum using crane Do not lay cable drums on flat on their sides, use proper
stops to prevent drums rolling.

PAGE 190
DRUM HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

Cables and Conductors should be installed by trained personnel in accordance with good engineering practice, recognized codes of practice, statutory
local requirements, IEE wiring regulations and where relevant, in accordance with any specific instructions issued by the company. Cables are often
supplied in heavy cable reels and handling these reels can constitute a safety hazard. In particular, dangers may arise during the removal of steel binding
straps and during the removal of retaining battens and timbers which may expose projecting nails. Lifting cable drums using crane . Lift drums on trucks
correctly. Secure drums adequately before transportation. Roll in the direction shown by the arrow. Do not lay drums flat on their sides, use proper stops
to prevent drums rolling.

Lift drums on fork trucks correctly.

LAYING AND INSTALLATION

GENERAL
a) After the planking has been removed, the cable should be examined for exterior damage, if any. To avoid damage to the protective covering and the
insulation the cable must not be pulled across hard and sharp objects and must not be bent in an inadmissible way.

b) The leading end of the cable is untied from the cable drum and a cable stocking placed over it and secured firmly. A rope is attached to the cable
stocking pulling eye. No pull should be exerted on the end of the cable.

c) Identification strips/ tags of metal or plastics should be attached to the cables, particularly if several are laud in parallel, 8 to 10m apart. Identification
tags should also be attached at every point into the buildings and at the cable end termination.

d) A bedding of riddled earth or river sand should be provided and protective cable warning covers should be used. Instruction to back fill the trench
should not be given until the entire length is protected by cable cover and checked.

PAGE 191
SPECIAL NOTES FOR SINGLE CORE CABLES
1. The spacing between three cables laid in one plane should be not less than the cable diameter. When the cables are arranged in a duct or a rack in
this way, each one should be secured either to be base or to the others by non-magnetic, non-corrosive clamps every 0.5 to 0.8m.
2. When the cable run is several kilometers long, the cables should be transposed at one-third and at two-thirds of the the total lengths.
3. Cables can also be laid in trefoil arrangement in ducts or on racks which improves current distribution and reduce sheath losses. Non-magnetic
clamps may not be essential in this case and it suffices to bind the cable with steel, copper, aluminium or plastics tapes every 0.5 to 0.6m.
4. The cables do not have to be bound/ clamped when laid in ground. Single core cables should not be installed individually in protective steel ducts;
instead, all three should be laid together in one single duct.
5. If several single core cables are laid per phase, these should be arranged as follows to ensure balanced current distribution:

MAXIMUM PULLING TENSIONS
The maximum tension must not be exceeded when pulling a cable into ducts and conduits:
a. Using a pulling eye:
Tm = 7.16 X n X A
Tm = Maximum tension, (kg)
n = No. of conductors
A = Area of each conductor, sq. mm
b. Using a cable grip:
Tg = p x k x t x (D - t)
Tg = Maximum tension, (kg)
t = Jacket thickness, mm
D = Cable overall diameter, mm
k = 0.7 Kg/sq. mm for PVC, PE & Neoprene

The tension required to pull the cable in a straight duct can be calculated as follows:
Ts = L x w x f
Ts = Tension required to pull cable, Kg
L = Length of cable, m
w = Weight of cable, Kg/m
f = Coefficient of friction

FIRE SURVIVAL CABLE
Flame Propagation Test (IEC 60332 & BS EN 50265)
Test on electric cables under fire conditions.
IEC 60332 Part-1: Tests on a single vertical insulated wire or
cable
Flame retardant cables prevent flame propagation during a fire
emergency. Additives such as aluminium hydroxide or magnesium
hydroxide are included in our cable’s protective materials. When the
material comes in contact with fire, the by product from the endothermic
reaction is gaseous water which will help envelop the flame and thereby
exclude oxygen from the fire.
Mg(OH)2 MgO+H2O or 2A(OH)3 Al2O3+3H2O
In this reaction, the decomposition products are non-toxic and the
mineral phase MgO and Al2O3 are alkaline, reducing the likelihood of
acidic, corrosive gases exiting the plastic.

IEC 60332 Part-3: Tests on bunched wires and cables under fire
condition
This test is also conducted on both a single cable as well bunched
cables as it cannot be assumed bunched cables will behave the same
way as single cables do. This is because flame propagation along a
vertical bunch of cables is depends on other factors such as volume of
combustible material exposed, geometrical configuration of the cables
etc.
The IEC 60332-3 specifies methods for assessing flame retardancy of
bunched cables comprising of varying densities of combustible material.
IEC 60332-3 Total volume of non-metallic Duration
material in the bunched exposed to flame
cables on a vertical ladder (minutes)
(liters)
Category A 7 40
Category B 3.5 40
Category C 1.5 20
Passing criteria: After the burning has ceased, the charred
portion should not exceed a height of 2.5 meters.

Fire Resistant Tests (IEC 60331 & BS 6387)
Specification for performance requirements for cables required to
maintain circuit integrity under fire conditions.
During fire evacuations, it is important for critical electrical
installations to perform their functions; these include fire alarms,
smoke detectors, sprinklers, emergency lighting and exit light.
At PARTEX CABLES we conduct stringent tests by simulating the
environment for our fire resistant cables to ensure that they pass
the safety requirements and will perform during such emergencies.
The category letter assigned to the cable reflects the level of testing
the cable has gone through and passed.

When fire comes in contact with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or chlorine containing
material, hydrogen chloride gas (HCl) is released. The HCl gas could cause
irritation to the eyes, mouth, throat, nose and lungs. At PARTEX CABLES, all
our fire resistant cables use Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) compounds to
prevent the formation of HCl gases from the burning of cables.
The standards determine the degree of acidity of gases emitted during the
combustion of cable materials by measuring pH and conductivity.

Passing criteria: The weighted pH value not less than 4.3 when related
to 1 liter of water and the weighted value of conductivity not more than
10µS/mm when related to 1 liter of water.

Smoke Emission Test (IEC 61034 & BS 7622)

Measurement of smoke density of electric cables burning under defined
conditions.
The ‘3 cubic meter test’ measures the amount of smoke generated by
burning cables. The cables are placed in a 3m3 enclosure. A beam of light
is transmitted from one window of the chamber to the opposite window. The
cables are subjected to fire in the chamber and the light transmission is
recorded.
Passing criteria: A minimum light transmission value of 60%.

ASTM D2863, ISO4589-2 & BS2863 (Oxygen Index Test)

This is a test for assessing the oxygen index of the material in accordance
with the test method specified in ASTM D2863 (Measuring the minimum
oxygen concentration to support candle-like combustion of plastics). At room
temperature when the oxygen content in the air exceeds the oxygen index,
the material will burn by itself automatically. The higher the oxygen index,
the more retardant the cable will be. For example, if the oxygen index of a
material is 21%, it means that the material will burn by itself even at room
temperature because at room temperature the normal oxygen content is
21%. PARTEX CABLES is manufacturing FR, FRLS, LSZH & FiR type cables, so
that the cables oxygen index ranges from 29% to 33%.

ISO4589-3/BS2782.1 (Temperature Index)

This is a test for assessing the performance of a material when it is tested in
accordance with BS2782 Part 1 Method 143A and 143B. The oxygen index of
a material will drop when the temperature rises. When the temperature rises
and the oxygen index drops to 21%, the material will burn automatically. This
temperature is defined as temperature index. For example, the temperature
index of coal is 50%. When the temperature climbs to 150˚C, its oxygen index
drops to 21% and the coal will burn by itself automatically. The temperature
index of coal will then be defined as 150˚C. In general, the temperature index
of FR, FRLS, LSZH & FiR type cables ranges from 250˚C to 300˚C.
