Company Directive
STANDARD TECHNIQUE: SD8B/3 (Part 3)
Relating to 33kV Underground Cable Ratings

Policy Summary
This document contains 33kV cable ratings of the various types of 33kV cables used within
Western Power Distribution South West and South Wales areas. It assumes that the cables
will be subjected to the cyclic load as given by the load curve shown in figure one. If other
load curves are required contact the Company Cable Engineer.
This Standard Technique should be used when designing any 33kV electricity distribution
network that has underground cables in it.

INTRODUCTION
This Standard Technique replaces Standard Technique ST: SD 8B/2.
This Part 3 document of ST: SD 8B sets out the all the WPD, 33kV underground
cable Sustained ratings, Cyclic ratings and Distribution ratings for winter, spring,
summer and autumn which are to be applied. These ratings are based on Electrical
Network Association Engineering Recommendation P17, Crater for MV Cables,
ERA Report F/T 183 and manufacturers data.

2.0

UNDERGROUND CABLES
The main factors governing the rating of underground cables are: Maximum depth of lay;
Soil thermal resistivity Tr (g);
Ground ambient temperature (oC);
Air ambient temperature (oC);
Cyclic loading conditions;
Maximum permissible conductor temperature;
Proximity to other cables;
Whether the cable is laid direct in the ground, in ducts or in air.
Duct dimensions

CRITERIA

3.1

General criteria for 33kV cables (applies to Paper, EPR and XLPE cables)
A winter soil resistivity of 0.9oCm/W and a summer soil resistivity of 1.2oCm/W are
considered realistic for the South West and South Wales, although the possibility of
localised higher values may need to be taken into account. To control the thermal
resistivity of the surrounding medium then the best example would be to use cement
bound sand (CBS) backfill for a cable route, but this is expensive. Generally crushed
Limestone dust or crushed Granite dust 3mm to dust is suitable as this gives a Tr of
1.2oCm/W.
Ground ambient temperatures across the South West and South Wales vary between
7oC in the winter and 15oC in the summer. These values apply in most locations, but
winter ground temperatures in the city centres such as Bristol, Cardiff, Exeter,
Plymouth and Swansea will be about 2oC higher.

3.2

The current ratings quoted in this document are maximum values based on balanced
loads.

ST:SD8B/3 (Part 3)

March 2009

- 2 of 159 -

3.3

The current ratings quoted apply to cables supplying loads, during the requisite
season.

3.4

The current ratings specified are to be adjusted where the conditions are known to
vary from those quoted in this instruction i.e. high summer loads or grouping.

3.5

The maximum conductor temperature for MIND paper cable is 65oC. The maximum
conductor temperature for Oil filled and impregnated pressure gas cable is 85oC. The
maximum conductor temperature for EPR and XLPE cables is 90oC.

3.6

When two or more cables or trefoil groups are laid in the same trench then a derating
factor needs to be applied to both circuits. The amount of derating is dependant upon
the spacing of the circuits. All spacing distances quoted in this document are centreto-centre spacings of the cables or trefoil groups.

3.7

Only 33kV Ratings are now included in this document.

3.8

The ratings are detailed as Sustained - Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn; Cyclic
- Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn; Distribution - Winter, Spring, Summer and
Autumn; for each of the cable types included in this document.

3.9

Each cable type for which ratings have been generated the typical assumed
installation conditions are given in the formation shown below: Depth of lay 0.8m;
Soil resistivity of 0.9oCm/W;
Ground ambient temperature of 10oC;
Maximum conductor temperature of 65oC for 33kV for 3 core MIND paper
cables and 70oC for 33kV single core PILC cables. The maximum conductor
temperature for Oil filled and impregnated pressure gas cable is 85oC. All
polymeric cables e.g. EPR and XLPE have a maximum conductor
temperature of 90C.
No allowance made for grouping of cable circuits.

4.0

DEFINITIONS
All 33kV EPR triplex circuits, for the purpose of this document, have been assumed
to be three single-core polymeric cables laid touching, throughout their length, in
trefoil formation. That the copper wire screens or the lead sheaths of the cables have
been solidly bonded together and earthed at both ends of the circuit.
It should be noted that when triplex or single core cable, which has been laid in
trefoil, a maximum of 12% of the TOTAL ROUTE LENGTH, can be laid in flat
space configuration without affecting the trefoil rating. If more than 12% of the Total
Route Length is laid in flat space configuration then high circulating currents will
flow in the copper wire screens or the lead sheath of the single core cables. This must
be avoided. If the 12% cannot be achieved then contact the Company Cable Engineer
at Avonbank.

4.1

Sustained, Continuous or Steady-State rating


The sustained rating is the maximum current that can be carried, in defined
conditions, without the assumed maximum conductor temperature being exceeded.

4.2

Cyclic rating
A cyclic rating is the maximum current that maybe carried during the prolonged
application of a succession of identical 24-hour load cycles, without the assumed
maximum conductor temperature being exceeded.

4.3

Distribution rating
Distribution ratings are ratings calculated for stated conditions commonly occurring
on distribution systems. The tabulated ratings given are 3 to 5 day limited time cyclic
ratings.

4.4

Utilisation factor
The percentage of a cable's distribution rating which is not exceeded during its
normal operational condition. Distribution ratings are based on an initial cable
utilisation of 50%; if a circuit has a higher utilisation factor such as 75% then the
Distribution rating must be reduced by 2.5%.

4.5

Load Factor
The ratio of the number of units supplied during a given period, to the number of
units that would be supplied, had the maximum demand been maintained throughout
that period. This is usually expressed as a percentage.

4.6

Soil thermal conductivity


The soil thermal conductivity is the thermal transmission in unit time through unit
area of homogeneous soil of unit thickness, when unit difference of temperature is
established between its surfaces.

4.7

Soil thermal resistivity


The ratings given are calculated for a damp thermal resistivity, which is suitable for
rating cables for winter-peak loads.

4.8

Ground ambient temperature


Where a cable circuit carries a sustained load and does not have a seasonal variation
it should be rated for the maximum summer value of ground temperature.

4.9

Ducts
A duct up to 15m in length can be used without derating the cable. Two or more duct
lengths can be used on a section, provided that there is no more than 30m of duct in a
particular 250m cable section and that there is a minimum of 10m separation
between each duct length. See the example given below.
Example of two 15m-duct lengths in a 250m-cable section.
The correct duct rating shall be used if 15m or more of continuous duct is installed
on a particular 250m-cable section. This rating is dependant upon the type of ducting
used, for this reason the ratings given in the tables contain values for both smooth
walled PVC and Rigiduct (Rigiduct is a twin walled duct) type ducting.
The rating of the cable section can be restored if the ducts are bentonited after the
cables have been installed. To ensure the thermal equivalence to the direct buried
parts of the route, the ducts shall be completely filled with a bentonite-sand-cement
mixture.
The filling medium shall be prepared by adding 20 parts of sand and 8 parts of
cements, by weight, to 100 parts of a 10:1 water/bentonite mixture.

ST:SD8B/3 (Part 3)

March 2009

- 5 of 159 -

Note: - Provided the bentonite is sealed into the duct with duct seals, and then the
bentonite forms a gel, which is stabilized by the cement, and the addition of sand
increases the load-bearing properties of the mixture. Should it be necessary to
remove this mixture, it may be flushed out of the ducts by using high-pressure water
jets.
Ducts, which are filled with a bentonite mixture, shall be installed wherever possible
in a concrete surround but if not, any joints in the duct run must be effectively
sealed. At the duct ends, the gap around the cable must be effectively sealed to
prevent migration of the bentonite mixture and preserve its moisture content under
service conditions.
In general duct lengths of up to 100m can be filled where a standard 150mm nominal
bore duct is installed.
4.10

Cables exposed to the sun


To reduce the effect of solar radiation it is recommended that cables should be
shielded from direct rays of the sun without restriction of ventilation.

4.11

Effects of grouping of cables


No allowance has been made for grouping in the ratings listed in the tables. Use the
correction factors given in Table 1 for various grouping arrangements.
When two or more circuits of the same voltage are laid in close proximity the ratings
of the cables must be reduced by multiply the group-rating factor given in Table 1
with the relevant cable rating selected from this document. It should be noted that if
thermally independence of both the circuits is required, then the circuits need a
centre-to-centre spacing of 2.5m.
All spacing quoted in Table 1, are a centre-to-centre spacing for the relevant circuits.

4.12

Loading Conditions
All the ratings listed in this document are calculated for a particular typical
domestic/commercial daily load curve, having a loss load factor of 0.5. See Figure 1
for the load curve.
Ratings given for cables installed in air and clipped direct to a wall are the steadystate ratings. Cables installed in this manner do NOT have a Cyclic or Distribution
rating just their sustained or steady state rating.

5.0

FURTHER GUIDANCE
If required, further guidance should be sought from the Company Cable Engineer,
Policy Section, Avonbank, Feeder Road, Bristol where necessary.
