This paper investigates the effect of metallic sheaths on losses and temperature of medium voltage power cables. Two grounding methods of sheaths, including both ends bonding and single point bonding that causes different situations on cable ampacity, are considered. Electrical losses of cables that are main sources of heat are calculated in both conductor and metallic sheath of the cables. She...

The transmission of the electric power to shore and concepts for the electrical system of offshore wind farms are evaluated with respect to selection of a cable. Necessity of use of a shunt by an AC cable connection to shore is addressed, Consequences of the use of a higher insulation of cables, use of three single core cables in triangular and linear configuration is compared in the paper.

SUMMARY This paper provides a deep insight into fault location on long Submarine Power Cables. Several field results on submarine power cable faults are provided. For land cables the main focus is on the electrical and thermal design of cable insulation and on the electro-thermal and thermo-mechanical design of cable accessories, in order to grant sufficient endurance performances and reliabili...

Crude oil is the basis for almost all products of our modern life. However, the sources where crude oil can be exploited easily are limited. Therefore, in addition to existing oilfields, sources which require more technical effort must be exploited in future. Many of such oilwells are subsea. Some of them are nearby the coast, but others are some 10 to 100 km away from the coast and in a depth ...

Cables not only transfer the power needed to run electrical equipment, but also the data signals needed to operate them. To prevent errors and device failures, the same attention must be paid to the choice and installation of the cabling as is paid to the rest of the system. Dealing with data means considering signal integrity (SI). Since data signals are modulated electrical pulses, anything t...
