Which kind of cable are used in hvdc transmission system?

In HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) transmission systems, the primary types of cables used are underground cables and submarine cables. These cables are typically made from materials like cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) or oil-filled cables, designed to withstand high voltage and environmental conditions. They are insulated to prevent electrical leakage and ensure safe transmission over long distances. Additionally, the use of bipolar cables allows for efficient transmission and improved reliability in the system.


What is the voltage used in submarine cable?

Submarine power cables work on voltages of 400 kV or more, often with DC because they are linking power grids that are not synchronised.Submarine communications cables now work with fibre-optics so the signals are modulated light-waves.Additional AnswerFurther to the original answer, another reason for using direct current for submarine cables is to eliminate capacitive currents that would flow if a.c. were used instead. The closeness of the submarine-cable's cores results in relatively-high levels of capacitance between each core and, with a.c., this would represent a capacitive load resulting in a continuous capacitive current along the cable. Such currents flow in all underground a.c. cables but, due to the length of most submarine cables, the capacitive current can be unnecessarily high.


Can Aluminum mylar-tape-shielded cables be used instead of Copper braid-shielded cables for instrumentation cables?

Actually, aluminum mylar tape shielded cables are better than copper braid shielded cables for instrumentation cables.


What is the advantage of leaving some slack when installing electrical cables?

Number of reasons: * Provides room for expansion when the building heats up. * Allows slack to move wires when remodeling. * Allows slack to reconnect wires when redoing terminations.


Are power cable armour to be earthed at both ends or at one end only?

One end only. Single point grounding is a rule of thumb. The reason for this is when you run cables together, including a shield or ground cable, the cables with power flowing in them will induce a voltage on the other cables. If two grounds are placed on a shield or ground cable, unwanted current will flow in a loop through the cable.
