U.S.A. Wire & Cable - Cable Management Services

As a master distributor of specialty wire and cable, U.S.A. Wire & Cable is uniquely qualified to handle any industrial projects your customers may have involving power, control, tray, instrumentation, thermocouple, armored, and portable power cables.

A large portion of our service for project support normally includes some level of cable management. A cable management program can vary in scope from a simple logistics package to a highly integrated bundle of services.

As opposed to many suppliers that loosely broadcast the term cable management, U.S.A. Wire & Cable defines in detail each possible component that can be combined to tailor a custom package for any project your customers may have. Our package may contain any or all of the following:

• Specification clarification and interpretation – we have many years of experience in the technical evaluation and formulation of wire & cable specifications. Since we represent a wide range of manufacturers, we can offer unbiased assistance to make sure your specifications are up to date and that the materials furnished meet or exceed your customers expectations. In addition, we can assist with value added engineering with selection of alternative constructions to decrease overall project costs.

• Prepurchase of bulk wire & cable for project needs – under contract we can acquire all cable items needed for a particular project insuring delivery schedules can be met with no guesswork. Cable requirement changes can be accomplished seamlessly throughout the project. In most cable management scenarios, cable is not invoiced to you or your customer until it is released to the job site.

• Storage – the cable can be stored at our facility, at the job site, or near the job site, as project requirements dictate.

• Packaging – cable can be released in bulk reels to the jobsite when specific lengths are not available or if individual pull requirements are known, cable can be cut to circuit length, wrapped and tagged with circuit and all applicable identifying information. U.S.A. Wire & Cable packaging standards are the best in the industry. Your cable arrives at the jobsite consistently damage free and ready to use, minimizing freight claims and costly reissuing of releases and rescheduling of field resources.

• Documentation and reporting – throughout the project term, we keep you informed with detailed, up to the minute analysis of the cable package in place for your job. By monitoring the cable down to each specific reel, waste can be minimized, and usage trends can be identified so that a continuous flow of product is assured throughout the life of your project.

• End of project disposal – At project end remaining product in appropriate lengths can be retained in our inventory with pre-agreed upon restocking terms. This service eliminates the common practice of job end random sale or scrapping of leftover cable.

In addition to the above menu of services, U.S.A. Wire & Cable can perform almost any requested task to make your project's wire & cable requirements flow smoothly.

1. The minimum bending radius for all cables is eight times the overall cable diameter.

Shielded Cables without Armor. All Voltages

1. The minimum bending radius for single conductor cable and multi-conductor cable with an overall shield is twelve times the overall cable diameter.

2. The minimum bending radius for multi-conductor or multiplexed cables having individually shielded conductors is twelve times the diameter of one of the individual conductors or seven times the overall diameter, whichever is greater.

3. The minimum bending radius for lead sheathed cables is twelve times the overall cable diameter.

Interlocked Armored Cable. All Voltages

1. The minimum bending radius for cables with non-shielded conductors is seven times the armor O.D..

2. The minimum bending radius for cables with shielded conductors is twelve times the diameter of one phase conductor or seven times the overall diameter, whichever is greater.

Note: The minimum bending radius applies to the inner surface of the cable and not to the cable axis.

PULLING TENSIONS

A. Maximum Pulling Tension on Cable

(1) With pulling eye attached to copper conductors, the maximum pulling tension in pounds should not exceed 0.008 times cir-mil area.

(2) With pulling eye attached to aluminum conductors, the maximum pulling tension in pounds should not exceed 0.006 times cir-mil area.

TM =0.008 x n x CM where

TM =max. tension, lb.

n = number of conductors

CM = cir-mil area of each copper conductor

(3) With cable grip over lead sheath, the maximum pulling tension in pounds should not exceed 1500 Ib./ sq. inch of lead sheath cross-sectional area for commercial lead

TM =4712 t (0 - t) where

t =sheath thickness, inches

0= overall diameter of cable, inches

(4) With cable grip over non-leaded cable, the maximum pulling tension should not exceed 1000 lb. and may not exceed the maximum tension based on 0.008 or 0.006 x total conductor area.

(5) When more than three conductors are pulled together, the maximum pulling tension should be reduced 20%.

B. Maximum Permissible PUlling Length TMLM-fW

where L M =pulling length, feet (straight section)

TM = maximum tension, lb.

W = weight of cable per foot, lb.

f = coefficient of friction (usually 0.5)

C. Pulling Tension Requirements in Ducts or Conduits:

(1) For straight sections, the pulling tension in pounds equals the length of duct or conduit multiplied by the weight per foot of cable and the coefficient of friction (paragraph B, above). T=LWf

(2) For curved sections, the following formula applies:

=T faTc 1 e where

T = tension exiting curved section, lb. c

T1 = tension entering curved section, lb.

a = angle of bend in radians (1 radian = 57.3 deg.)

f = coefficient of friction (usually 0.5)

e = naperian logarithm base

(3) To limit the sidewall bearing pressure on cables at bends, the maximum pulling tension in pounds shall not exceed the following factor times the radius of curvature of bend expressed in feet:

The process fixes (sets) the physical properties of the material so that if it is again exposed to heat, the material will not melt, flow or drip.

Insulation Types

Thermoset (Cont.)

Thermoset insulations normally include a chemical catalyst additive such as sulfur or peroxide that provides the means for cross-linking of the material on the molecular level. Heat kicks off the cross-linking process and pressure is required to prevent bubbles/voids from forming due to out-gassing that occurs during the process. Following are processes typically used to make a material thermoset:

•

Pressurized high temperature steam or Nitrogen cure (CV-Continuous Vulcanization)

•

Lead or polymer mold - steam autoclave cure•

Moisture catalyst cure/cross-linking•

High energy electron beam cross-linking

Insulation Shield (5kV-35kV)

Jacket DEFINITION OF SHIELDING: Shielding of an electric power cable is the practice of confining the electric field of the cable within the insulation surrounding the conductor. It is accomplished by means of semiconducting conductor shield and, semiconducting insulation shield that is in combination with an overlying metallic shield

W-14

PURPOSE

TYPE

BASIC REQUIREMENTS

• To prelude excessive voltage stress on voids between conductor and insulation and eliminate voltage stress enhancing protrusions/ dimensional irregularities to provide a smooth electrode

• Extruded semi-conducting material compatible with the insulation and the conductor and shall have allowable operating temperatures equal to or higher than those of the insulation

• Firmly bonded to the overlying insulation• Easily removable from the conductor• Chemically, physically and thermally compatible with conductor and

insulation

Medium Voltage Cable Conductor (Strand) Shield

W-15

Medium Voltage Cable

• The semi-conductive layer between conductor and insulation which compensates for air voids that exist between conductor and insulation.

• Air is a poor insulator, having a nominal dielectric strength of only 55 volts per mil, while most cable insulations have dielectric strengths over 700 volts/mil. Without strand shielding an electrical potential exists that will over-stress these air voids.

• As air breaks down or ionizes, it goes into corona (partial discharges). This forms ozone which chemically deteriorates cable insulations. The semi-conductive strand shielding eliminates this potential by simply “shorting out” the air.

• Modern cables are generally constructed with an extruded strand shield.
