BELATED CABLE:-
These cable are used for voltage rating upto 11 KV but in extraordinary cases Their use may be extended upto 22 KV .
° The Belted type construction is suitable only for low and medium voltage.
° the electrostatic stress developed in the cable for these voltage are more or less radial ie across the insulation.
°° for high voltage (beyond 22 KV) the tangential stresses also become important.
SCREENED CABLE :-
Used upto 33 KV but extended upto 66 KV.
It is of two type
H TYPE :-
The insulation on each core is covered with a metallic screen which usually consists of a perforated aluminium foil.
- It has no insulating belt
- all the four screen (3 core screen and one conducting belt) and the lead sheath are at earth potential.
Advantage-
° the possibility of air pockets or voids in the dielectric is eliminated.
° the metalic screen increase the heat dissipation power of the cable.
SL TYPE :-
Constructional details is basically sm as H type cable.
- but the screen around each core insulation is covered by its own lead sheath.
- there are no overall lead sheath.
Advantage-
° The separate sheaths minimize the possibility of core to core breakdown.
° Bending of cables become easy due to the elimination of overall lead sheath
** The voltage limit for solid type cables is 66 kv .
PRESSURE CABLES :-
For voltage beyond 66 kv , solid type cables are unreliable because there is a danger of breakdown of insulation due to the presence of voids.
- Oil filled Cables
- Gas pressure cables
Oil filled Cables :-
The range being from 66 kv to upto 230 kv.
Adv -
- formation of voids and ionization are avoided
- Allowable temperature range and Dielectric strength are increased.
- If there is leakage, the defect in the lead sheath is at once indicated and the possibility of earth faults is decreased.
Dis adv -
High initial cost and complicated system of laying
Gas pressure cable :-
The cable is similar to that an ordinary solid type expect that it is of triangular shape and thickness of lead sheath is 75% that of solid cable.
- The triangular section reduce the weight
- Low thermal resistance
- The main reason for triangular shape is that the lead sheath acts as a pressure membrane .
Adv -
- cable can carry more load current.
- operate at higher voltage then normal cable
- maintenance cost is small and the nitrogen gas help in quenching any flame .
Dis adv-
- the overall cost is very high

METHOD OF LAYING :-
4- Laying on racks inside a cable tunnel
5- Laying along building or structure
