The NZ Handbook

2011 Edition

Safety Warning

Cables are insulated and sheathed with stable materials which may contain
certain toxic substances including lead. Insulation and sheathing materials
should not be chewed or ingested.
When XLPE coloured cores are exposed to sunlight or outdoors the UV rays
will break down the XLPE. Therefore they should be made safe from the
effects of the UV by adding some form of UV protection.

Installation
Cables must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the latest
issue of AS/NZS 3000 or the appropriate ruling standard in the country of
installation. Cables must also be connected by a licensed electrician, as
ruled in the state or country of installation.
Olex New Zealand Limited has taken every precaution to ensure that the
information contained in the booklet is in line with the requirements of the
appropriate New Zealand Standards and correct electrical practice. However,
we accept no liability of any kind with respect to the information presented
here.

Note
Current carrying capacity tables stated in this handbook are based on
AS/NZS 3008.1.2, Electrical Installations Selection of Cables. Part 1.2:
Cables for alternating voltages up to and including 0.6/1 kV Typical New
Zealand Installation conditions.

Alsecure Envirolex Cables

Alsecure Envirolex cables are an extensive range of enhanced


performance cables for the construction industry engineered to dramatically
reduce environmental impact, particularly under fire conditions, while
retaining the excellent mechanical and electrical properties designed into
Olex cables. Olex uses a variety of inorganically filled polyolefin based
materials to engineer the cables in the Alsecure Envirolex range to meet a
wide variety of end uses and performance requirements.
Advantages of Alsecure Envirolex cables

Cable types from building wires to SWA, to multicore control

90C rated superior thermal performance


Improved performance under fire conditions:
Flame retardant/self-extinguishing
Reduced acid, gas and smoke generation
Non-corrosive in fire situations
Reduced toxicity of fumes during fire
Halogen free (i.e. no chlorine, bromine etc)

Lead free
No special termination or installation requirements
Made in accordance with Australian and New Zealand Standards

Alsecure Envirolex cables have been tested according to and comply with
the requirements of the single flame tests specified in AS1660.
Alsecure Envirolex products include readily strippable cables for general
construction purposes as well as the tougher products commonly found in
cables with higher fire performance capability.
Information on the Alsecure Envirolex range of 2 core plus earth and 3 core
flat cables can be found on page 14 of this handbook. Alsecure Envirolex
materials can also be used as alternatives to all other low voltage power and
control cables. Cables are available on request, subject to minimum
production run.

General Technical Information

Installation Information
General
All cables must be installed to comply with the latest New Zealand Wiring Regulations.
Moisture
Olex cables are manufactured in conditions that exclude moisture, as it is difficult to
remove from a finished cable. It is important that precautions are taken during installation
to ensure that moisture is not permitted to enter the cable. Cut ends or opened areas
must be protected from moisture at all times, including during pulling in. Cables, after
cutting, must be re-sealed for storage, by an effective method such as a heat shrinkable
cable cap.
Single Core Cables
The following points relating to single core cables should be noted:
1.

Single core cables carrying the phase currents of a single circuit must be installed as
closely as possible together, to minimise inductive reactance and voltage drop. The
preferred formation for three phase conductors is a "trefoil" or cloverleaf pattern
although flat touching formation is also acceptable. Sheaths should be in contact
with one another in either case.

2.

A single core cable generates an alternating magnetic field around itself which can
cause large increases in voltage drop and power loss due to "transformer effect"
when ferrous metal (iron and steel) is allowed to encircle the cable. Steel racking or
ladder will not induce this effect, but the following must be observed:
a.

Cable cleats may be of wood, plastic, or non-ferrous metal but steel saddles
should not be used on single cores.

b.

Where three single phase cables pass through a steel bulkhead, they must all
pass through the same hole. Where glanding is required, it is usual to cut out a
panel and replace this with a non-ferrous (metal or plastic) plate in which the
three or four glands are mounted.

Cable Support
Under fault conditions, single core cables used as phase conductors in a multi-phase
system may be subjected to large electromechanical forces which tend to drive them
apart. Generally, properly designed cleats spaced at 1500 mm intervals will provide
adequate support to the cable under normal operating conditions. However special
consideration may be required if fault currents in excess of 15 kA are anticipated.

Green Goo
Also known as Green Slime, this phenomenon is characterised by the appearance of a
sticky green exudate leaking out of PVC-insulated wiring at locations such as switches, hot
points and light fittings. It is a common occurrence in both Australia and New Zealand.
The green goo problem is predominantly associated with older (25+ years) TPS-type
cables operating in a warm environment. The exudate comprises a plasticiser that has
migrated out of the PVC insulation, coloured due to reaction with the copper conductor,
and that has subsequently travelled - by capillary action and/or gravity along the
conductor to emerge at a termination point.
Due to its stickiness and unsightly colour, the goo has a high nuisance value, however it
poses no significant health hazard. It may be cleaned from surfaces by wiping with a rag
soaked in a petroleum- or alcohol-based solvent (such as meths).
The long-term consequence of the exudate is that it represents a de-plasticising of the
insulation, meaning that as the process continues, the PVC will eventually become brittle,
and crack.
TPS Cables in Polystyrene Thermal Insulation
With the increasing use of polystyrene block insulation in houses and caravans, it is
important to explain the potential problem that arises when PVC sheathed and insulated
cables come into direct contact with this material.
The plasticiser that is added to PVC to make it flexible has a tendency to migrate out of the
PVC and into materials with which it is in contact, particularly where those materials such
as polystyrene and polyurethane - have a great affinity for the plasticiser. This will lead to
the PVCs becoming progressively harder and more brittle, while in contrast the
polystyrene will appear to melt as it absorbs the plasticiser.
The rate of migration is dependent upon the relative thickness of the materials, the
temperature, and the amount of surface area in direct contact. Accordingly, the rate of
deterioration of the PVC cable can vary considerably under different circumstances.
To mitigate the problem it is recommended that the amount of direct contact between the
cable and the polystyrene be reduced as much as possible. Effective ways of achieving
this include positioning the cable with an air gap between the sheath and the polystyrene,
or installing the cable within a rigid PVC or PE conduit.

UV Resistance
Many polymers, due to their molecular structure, are prone to attack by UV radiation, and
because of this will degrade upon continued exposure to sunlight, eventually cracking and
splitting. The polyolefin family of materials, such as PE (including XLPE or X-90) and PP
is particularly susceptible to deterioration in this manner. PVC is also at risk but noticeably
less so, partly because of its structure but also due to the mitigating effects of the fillers,
plasticisers and stabilisers that are compounded with it.
A simple, effective and cheap material that can be added to plastic compounds to absorb
UV radiation is carbon black. However, while this approach is appropriate for sheathing
materials, it is not necessarily so for insulating materials as the carbon masks the core
colour.
Olex New Zealand Limited recommends that the insulation of its cables be protected
(covered) from solar radiation at all times, except in those instances where the material
has been deliberately modified to guard against the effects of UV, eg, Aerial Bundled
Cables (ABC). This covering may simply be the sheath of the cable.
Lugs and Links
Stranded compacted conductors, either round or sector shaped, must have lugs and links
fitted that are manufactured for the same nominal cross-sectional area as the conductor.
For example, a 150 mm conductor must have a 150 mm lug or link fitted, and the correct
dies, as stated by the manufacturer, used to compress it.
Although the lug or link will appear to be loose on the conductor, this is simply because the
initial compression of the joint has already taken place during the manufacture of the
conductor; the final compression of the joint will be correct.
If, for example, a 120 mm lug or link was fitted to a 150 mm conductor, the joint would be
over-compressed and likely to fail in service. In addition, the smaller lug in itself would be
unable to carry the same maximum current as the larger conductor, particularly with
respect to fault currents.
Olex New Zealand Limited manufactures conductors to be compatible with lugs and links
normally available in New Zealand.

Single Core Cables in Parallel


The following are the recommended arrangements of single core cables in parallel. Nonsymmetrical arrangements result in different impedances and hence unequal current
sharing between parallel legs of the same phase. This should be avoided as it could lead
to overheating of some cables.
Neutral conductors of Three phase circuits should be located so as not to disturb the
symmetry of the groups.

General Technical Information

Bending Radii
The safe bending radius for an electric cable is limited by the flexibility of its insulation and
sheathing material. When a cable is being installed it may be pulled around several
curves in different directions and subjected to dynamic stresses which could cause
damage. Consequently the bending radius around which a cable may be pulled is greater
than that into which it can be set in its final position.
The following recommended minimum bending radii are expressed as a function of the
cable diameter and refer to the inside of the curve. In all cases, bending radii should be as
large as practicable.

Duct Sizes
Ducts are another important consideration affecting the pulling operation. Selection of the
appropriate duct should be based on internal duct diameter to suit a cable size and wall
thickness to prevent deformation during duct installation. The internal finish of the installed
ducting should be smooth to prevent cable sheath damage during installation. During
cable installation the use of graphite or other commercially available pulling lubricants can
also prevent sheath damage and reduce pulling tensions. The following duct sizes are

Pulling Tension
Where a cable is to be pulled in using a winch and steel wire rope, the rope may be
secured to the cable by any of the following:

A cable stocking of steel wire braid


A pulling eye attached to the cable conductor
A pulling eye over the complete cable end
A pulling eye formed from the armour wires

The maximum tension which may be used is limited by the tensile strength of the
conductors or armour wires, or by the gripping capability of the cable stocking, depending
on the method used.

Lugs and links must always be selected to match the nominal cross sectional area

compacted conductor but may not be rated to carry the load current associated with
the larger conductor size; nor will it compress correctly if it is of the compression

Note
1

Lugs and links must always be selected to match the nominal cross sectional area
of the conductor. A lug or link for a 185 mm2 circular conductor may fit on a 240 mm2
compacted conductor but may not be rated to carry the load current associated with
the larger conductor size; nor will it compress correctly if it is of the compression
type.

Cable Selection

Four Main Factors


In accordance with AS/NZS 3008.1.2 and AS/NZS 3000, the four main factors which
affect the minimum size of cable required for a particular installation are:
1.

The cable current-carrying capacity, which is influenced by the cable materials and
construction, the conditions of the cable environment and the method of installation
due to their effects on the dissipation of heat from the conductors.

2.

The voltage drop in the cable circuit, which is a function of load current, load power
factor, and length of the cable run.

3.

The temperature rise under short-circuit conditions, which is a function of both the
magnitude and duration of the short-circuit current and is limited by the cable
materials.

4.

The maximum fault loop impedance which will still allow the protective device to trip
within the specified time.

Page 108

Cable Selection

Procedures
To select the cable size required based on the above considerations, follow the steps
listed:
Current-Carrying Capacity
1

Determine the minimum current for which the cable is to be rated, taking account of
the maximum demand of the circuit and the type and rating of the overcurrent
protection device.

Ascertain how the cables are to be installed, and the conditions in the cable
environment. From the tables of rating factors, select any rating factor(s) which are
applicable.

Divide the rating from step 1 by the appropriate factor(s).

From the current rating tables, select a cable which, for the appropriate method of
installation, has a tabulated rating not less than the value obtained from 3.

Voltage Drop
1

Determine the Load Current I (A) to be carried by the cable, and the Route Length L
(m) of the circuit.

Establish the maximum voltage drop Vd (V) permitted in the circuit (taking account of
any other voltage drops in series).

Evaluate the equation Vc = 1000 * Vd (mV/A.m). This value is the maximum mV/A.m
I*L
figure which will give the required voltage drop.

From the voltage drop tables, select a cable for the appropriate method of installation
which has a tabulated mV/A.m figure not greater than this value.

continued

Page 109

Cable Selection

Procedures (continued)
Short Circuit Temperature
1

Determine the Maximum Duration t (s) and Magnitude Isc (A) of the prospective
Short Circuit Current.

Evaluate the equation I1 = Isc *

t (A). This is the required short circuit rating

converted to a one second basis.


3

From the conductor short-circuit ratings tables, select a cable with a rating not less
than the value obtained from 2.

Fault Loop Impedance


1

Determine the maximum fault loop impedance which will still allow the protective
device to trip within the specified time.

From the above calculate the maximum length of cable run to comply with the
maximum fault loop impedance. Refer to AS/NZS 3000:2007, Clause 1.5.5.3 and
Appendix B.

General
For any circuit, the cable size selected should not be less than the largest of the sizes
calculated to meet the above limitations (this is the smallest size which will meet all of the
requirements).
In practice, the current-carrying capacity will be found to prevail in short-run/high-current
circuits while voltage drop considerations will usually prevail in long-run/low-current
circuits. It is unusual for short-circuit temperature requirements to determine the conductor
size required for 0.6/1 kV cable circuits.

Page 110

Cable Selection

Current Ratings
The current carrying capacity of a cable is determined by the following factors:
1.

Current flowing in a conductor generates heat and causes the conductor temperature
to rise above the ambient temperature.

2.

Different methods of installation or the presence of external heat sources such as


adjacent cables vary the rate of heat dissipation.

3.

The insulation material determines the maximum conductor temperature which can
be sustained continuously over the expected life of the cable.

The continuous current ratings for Low Voltage (LV) 0.6/1 kV cables given in this
handbook have been obtained from AS/NZS 3008.1.2. In all cases, the ratings given are
the single circuit ratings, corresponding to continuous loading at the maximum conductor
temperature appropriate to the insulation material.
Environmental Conditions
The current ratings are based on the following operational conditions:
Ambient Air Temperature
Soil Temperature
Soil Thermal Resistivity
Depth of Burial

30C
15C
1.2 K.m/W
0.5 m

Where conditions vary from those on which the ratings are based, appropriate rating
factors from Tables 3 to 6 (page 116), need to be applied.
Methods of Installation
Earthing conductors and lightly loaded neutral conductors of three phase circuits are
ignored for current rating purposes and are generally not shown in the graphical
representations of the cable and installation methods. Thus, where two single core cables
or a two core cable is shown the current rating applies to single phase operation; where
three single core cables or a three core cable is shown the current rating applies to two or
three phase operation.

Current Ratings (continued)


Groups of Circuits
For groups of circuits unenclosed in air, the spacings and arrangements which need to be
maintained to prevent derating are given on Tables 1A & 1B (page 99 & 100). Where
underground circuits are spaced by more than 2m from adjacent circuits, no derating
applies. Also, if adjacent circuits are operated at less than 35% of their current carrying
capacity they may be excluded from considerations as their contribution to mutual heating
will be small.
Where a number of circuits are installed in close proximity in such a way that they are not
thermally independent, the appropriate rating factors from Tables 7 and 8 (page 117) need
to be applied.
Cables in Parallel
For cables operated in parallel, each parallel leg is regarded as a separated circuit for
current rating purposes and the appropriate rating factors for grouping are applicable.
Refer also to Table 2 (page 101) for the arrangements of single core cables so as to
ensure equal current sharing between parallel legs of the same phase.
Solar Radiation
For cables exposes to direct sunlight, the effect of solar radiation is to increase the surface
temperature of the cable and hence limit the temperature rise due to the load in the
conductors. Where possible, cables should be shielded from the direct rays of the sun
without restricting ventilation. Otherwise, the effect of solar radiation should be taken into
account, either by calculation in accordance with IEC 60287, or as an approximation by
adding 20C to the ambient air temperature and applying the appropriate rating factor.
