MV/LV network reinforcement, expansion and rehabilitation

1 Trunk line Torril Power Station / Morro

The west coast of Maio Island is supplied by a 34,4 mm2 aster conductor

overhead line, operated on 20 kV, which causes so many problems to the

distribution services and to the Power station's generator sets due to the

extremely aggressive environment and various design mistake and installation

defects. The line route is in conflict with new plans for Maio airport expansion.

Because of that and in order to increase the transmission capacity, it is decided

to replace the existing line from the Power Station up to Morro Village, by a 10,5

km of 240 mm2 aluminum underground cable trunk line, which will supply all Maio

City MV/LV secondary substations, along the way, in a ring system.

A second circuit with 2,4 km of 120 mm2 aluminum underground cable will be

installed in Maio city in order to create a closed loop in the city.

guard structures or any object which in the opinion of the Project Manager

may cause abrasion or damage to the conductors. The Contractor shall

continuously inspect the conductor as it leaves the reel. If nicks or scratches

are detected, the stringing operation shall be stopped until the blemish is

smoothed with fine sandpaper or emery paper. If any broken aluminum

strands are found, splice rods shall be installed in accordance with the

manufacturer’s recommendation. If more than three broken aluminum strands

are found within any 300m section of cable, the cable section containing the

broken strands will be cut out and a full tension splice installed. Any damaged

wire, resulting from the Contractor’s negligence, shall be repaired or replaced

at his expense. The conductors shall be pulled over suitable rollers or

stringing blocks properly mounted on the pole or crossarm if necessary to

prevent binding while stringing.

g) Conductors shall be sagged in accordance with the conductor manufacturer's

recommendations. All conductors shall be sagged evenly. The air temperature

at the time and place of sagging shall be determined by a certified

the shield wires shall hang in the Stringing blocks a minimum of 24 hours

before bringing up to final sag. After the 24 hour period has elapsed, the shield

wires shall be brought up to sag and clipped in within four (4) days. Wires

remaining in the blocks for more than 4 days shall be subject to inspection and

possible replacement at the Contractor’s expense if distortion of the conductor,

at the discretion of the Project Manager, has occurred.

j) The method and procedures used to string low tension spans or slack spans

to substation structures shall be such that the conductor is not permitted to

contact the ground or any object which may cause damage or otherwise

adversely affect the conductor. The method selected by the Contractor is

subject to the review and approval of the Project Manager prior to beginning

installation.

k) When stringing and sagging from angle structures, the Contractor shall

develop procedures that will compensate for structure deflections. All angle

poles and dead-end structures shall be plumbed straight or properly raked, as

specified in the applicable structure erection specification, after all shield wires

have been brought up to their proper sag-tension position and before clipping

in or dead-ending the shield wires. Swingout type angle structures shall be

clipped-in before at least the adjacent structures are clipped-in.

l) Conductors shall be spliced and dead-ended. There shall be not more than

one splice per conductor in any span and splices shall be located at least 3.5m

from the conductor support. Splices shall be installed in accordance with the

manufacturer's specifications and recommendations. All conductors shall be

cleaned thoroughly by wirebrushing before splicing or installing connectors or

clamps. A suitable inhibitor shall be used before splicing or applying

connectors over aluminum conductor.

m) No splices will be permitted in spans over main lines of roads, or over

communication lines. In other spans, only one splice per span will be

permitted on each wire, and this splice shall not be located closer than 15m to

any structure. Splices shall not be pulled through stringing sheaves or sagging
