9. What are the requirements for fixing AC single-core cables? Why?


Answer: The clamp should have no iron to form a closed magnetic circuit. This is because when the cable core passes current, magnetic lines of force are generated around it. The magnetic line of force is proportional to the current passing through the core. If iron and other magnetic materials are used, according to Electromagnetic induction knows that eddy currents will be generated in the iron to heat the cable and even burn the cable. Therefore, iron pieces cannot be used as fixing fixtures for single-core AC cables.

(4) The oil pressure of the oil-filled cable should not be lower than 1.47MPa.


12. When there are doubts about the sealing of oil-paper insulated power cables, how to check whether the cable insulation paper is damp in a simpler way?


Answer: Ignite the cable insulation paper or put it in the cable oil at about 150℃ to check, there is no "hissing" sound or white foam, indicating that it is not damp.


13. What should be indicated on the cable sign? What are the requirements for writing?


Answer: The cable circuit design number, cable model, specification and starting point should be indicated on the sign, and the cables used in parallel should have a sequence number. The handwriting is required to be clear and not easy to fall off.


14. Where should the azimuth signs of directly buried cables be set?


Answer: At both ends of the cable, the cable connector is at 50~100m in the straight section of the cable and the corner where the cable changes direction.


15. Yellow wax ribbon, black glass lacquer tape, alkali-free glass ribbon, etc. used to make cable joints, how to remove moisture before construction?


Answer: (1) Constant temperature drying method: roll the insulating tape into a small roll with a diameter of 25~30mm and put it in


Bake in a constant temperature drying oven at 110~120℃ for 4~5h, cool and dry, take it out, and put it into a dry sealed cylinder.


(2) Oil immersion and moisture removal method: Put the small coil of insulating tape into the cable oil at a constant temperature of 120~130℃, keep a distance of 30mm from the bottom of the pot, after a certain period of time, the oil surface will no longer produce foam, then take it out and put it in storage. In the barrel with cable oil, the oil level should exceed all the loaded objects and seal it.


16.What is the function of the outer sheath of the cable?


Answer: Protect the inner protective layer from mechanical damage and chemical corrosion, and enhance the mechanical strength.
