Definitions
- the present invention relates to a power cable having flexible shaped sectors and, more particularly, to a power cable having flexible shaped sectors, wherein it can firmly maintain the shape of sectors, can secure flexibility, and can be fabricated without replacing equipment even in existing equipment in which the processing process and insulation process of a shaped sector have been separated, thereby being capable of improving workability.
- a power cable in general, includes a conductor playing the role of the passage of an electrical flow within the cable and an insulating layer surrounding the conductor.
- the conductor of such a cable is regulated as a metric size in IEC 60228 and BS 6360, and as an American Wire Gage (AWG) in ASTM as shown in Table 1 below.
- AWG American Wire Gage
- Table 1 Classification of conductor IEC60228 BS6360 ASTM Solid conductor class 1 class 1 class A Stranded conductor class 2 class 2 class B,C,D Flexible conductor class 5 class 5 class I,K More flexible conductor class 6 class 6 class M Classification unit Metric Metric Circular Mil
- the shape of the conductor may be divided into a round conductor and a sector (fan-shaped) conduct.
- the round conductor may be divided into a common concentric conductor formed by twisting conductors in a spiral form in a conductor stranding process, and a compressed conductor and compacted conductor having a diameter reduced by minimizing the gap of wire rods using a mechanical compression method in a conductor stranding process.
- the sector conductor is fabricated in a fan shape by compacting concentric conductors in two-core or more multi-wire cables.
- the gap between wire rods can be reduced in a process of binding the concentric conductors.
- a cable using sector conductors does not require an additional filling for filling the gap and can reduce its diameter compared to a cable using round conductors (hereinafter abbreviated as a "round cable”), such as that illustrated in FIG. 1(a) . Accordingly, there are advantages in that the cable using sector conductors can be fabricated with light weight and can reduce costs because weight of a coating matter or metal sheath consumed for an actual sector cable may be smaller than that of the round cable although the coating matter or the metal sheath is coated in the same thickness compared to the round cable in a subsequent insulating process.
- each sector cable corresponding to two round cables (3C ⁇ 70mm 2 ,3C ⁇ 120mm 2 ) having different sizes are illustrated in Table 2 below.
- the sector cable is chiefly applied to an onshore cable because the prime cost can be reduced compared to the round cable in terms of cost when the cable is installed due to such diameter reduction and weight reduction effects of the sector cable.
- such a sector cable has a disadvantage in that use of the sector cable in a narrow space, such as a vessel, is very limited due to the lack of flexibility.
- Table 3 illustrates the result values of relative comparison tests for each item, which were performed on the assumption of the routing of a cable that passes through several curved points using a round cable and sector cable having the same size.
- the sector conductor can be extruded in a form having a specific thickness only when the head of an extruder from which an insulating matter is output rotates in the same cycle as that of the conductor when a sector cable is fabricated because a fan-shaped conductor is rotated at specific intervals. It is however practically impossible to extrude a compound of a rubber characteristic material in a constant thickness on the fan-shaped conductor that rotates at specific intervals. Accordingly, such a sector cable has many limitations in selecting an insulator, and the insulator of a sector cable now on the market uses, for example, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) as a compound having a plastic characteristic.

- cross-linked polyethylene XLPE

- Patent Document 1 Korean Patent Application Publication No. 10-2015-0108962 (October 01, 2015 ) discloses a technology regarding a sector cable.
- the sector cable cannot maintain a fan-shaped form in a subsequent insulating work process because the shape of sector conductors placed under a conveyance drum is disordered in a process of winding and stacking fan-shaped (sector) conductors on the conveyance drum although the shape of the fan-shaped conductors has to be maintained without being disordered up to an insulation process, that is, a next process.
- the sector conductor Due to such a problem, the sector conductor has to be reflected in the layout of a factory so that the processing work and insulating work of the sector conductor can be performed in one process at the same time. Accordingly, there were problems in that existing conductor processing equipment must be changed and insulating equipment must be invested for the purpose of sector conductor processing.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a power cable having flexible shaped sectors and, more particularly, to a power cable having flexible shaped sectors, wherein it can firmly maintain the shape of sectors, can secure flexibility, and can be fabricated without replacing equipment even in existing equipment in which the processing process and insulation process of a shaped sector have been separated, thereby being capable of improving workability.
- In general, a power cable includes a conductor playing the role of the passage of an electrical flow within the cable and an insulating layer surrounding the conductor. The conductor of such a cable is regulated as a metric size in IEC 60228 and BS 6360, and as an American Wire Gage (AWG) in ASTM as shown in Table 1 below.
[Table 1] Classification of conductor IEC60228 BS6360 ASTM Solid conductor class 1 class 1 class A Stranded conductor class 2 class 2 class B,C,D Flexible conductor class 5 class 5 class I,K More flexible conductor class 6 class 6 class M Classification unit Metric Metric Circular Mil - The shape of the conductor may be divided into a round conductor and a sector (fan-shaped) conduct.
- The round conductor may be divided into a common concentric conductor formed by twisting conductors in a spiral form in a conductor stranding process, and a compressed conductor and compacted conductor having a diameter reduced by minimizing the gap of wire rods using a mechanical compression method in a conductor stranding process.
- The sector conductor is fabricated in a fan shape by compacting concentric conductors in two-core or more multi-wire cables. The gap between wire rods can be reduced in a process of binding the concentric conductors.
- Accordingly, a cable using sector conductors (hereinafter abbreviated as a "sector cable" and refer to
FIG. 1(b) ) does not require an additional filling for filling the gap and can reduce its diameter compared to a cable using round conductors (hereinafter abbreviated as a "round cable"), such as that illustrated inFIG. 1(a) . Accordingly, there are advantages in that the cable using sector conductors can be fabricated with light weight and can reduce costs because weight of a coating matter or metal sheath consumed for an actual sector cable may be smaller than that of the round cable although the coating matter or the metal sheath is coated in the same thickness compared to the round cable in a subsequent insulating process. For example, the diameter reduction and weight reduction effects of each sector cable corresponding to two round cables (3C×70mm2,3C×120mm2) having different sizes are illustrated in Table 2 below.[Table 2] Size Total diameter (mm) Weight (kg) Class 2 Sector % Class 2 Sector % 3C×70mm2 32.2 26.6 -17.3 2.38 2.21 -7.1 3C×120mm2 40.6 33.0 -18.7 4.03 3.73 -7.4 - The sector cable is chiefly applied to an onshore cable because the prime cost can be reduced compared to the round cable in terms of cost when the cable is installed due to such diameter reduction and weight reduction effects of the sector cable.
- However, such a sector cable has a disadvantage in that use of the sector cable in a narrow space, such as a vessel, is very limited due to the lack of flexibility.
- Table 3 below illustrates the result values of relative comparison tests for each item, which were performed on the assumption of the routing of a cable that passes through several curved points using a round cable and sector cable having the same size.
[Table 3] Test item HIS SECTOR Ratio (%) Total diameter 36.8mm 29.8mm -19.0% Weight 2880kg/km 2462kg/km -14.5% Traction power 61.2kg 79.6kg 30% Friction resistance 2.12 3.24 52% - As illustrated in Table 3, it may be seen that in the case of the sector cable, a traction power required to move the cable is about 30% or more compared to the round cable due to the lack of flexibility.
- Meanwhile, the sector conductor can be extruded in a form having a specific thickness only when the head of an extruder from which an insulating matter is output rotates in the same cycle as that of the conductor when a sector cable is fabricated because a fan-shaped conductor is rotated at specific intervals. It is however practically impossible to extrude a compound of a rubber characteristic material in a constant thickness on the fan-shaped conductor that rotates at specific intervals. Accordingly, such a sector cable has many limitations in selecting an insulator, and the insulator of a sector cable now on the market uses, for example, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) as a compound having a plastic characteristic.
- However, such cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), etc. has a disadvantage in that it is not eco-friendly because resins cannot be recycled if the lifespan of the cable expires and thus cross-linked polyethylene are inevitably discarded by incineration.
- Accordingly, Korean Patent Application Publication No.
) (hereinafter abbreviated as a "Patent Document 1") discloses a technology regarding a sector cable.10-2015-0108962 (October 01, 2015 - In accordance with Patent Document 1, light weight can be achieved while reducing the external diameter of the cable, sector insulation can be performed without sector chafing or falling-behind, and manufacturing costs can be reduced while maintaining resistance performance of a conductor, but the flexibility of the sector cable has not been improved as illustrated in Table 3.
- Furthermore, in a cable manufacturing process, the sector cable cannot maintain a fan-shaped form in a subsequent insulating work process because the shape of sector conductors placed under a conveyance drum is disordered in a process of winding and stacking fan-shaped (sector) conductors on the conveyance drum although the shape of the fan-shaped conductors has to be maintained without being disordered up to an insulation process, that is, a next process.
- Due to such a problem, the sector conductor has to be reflected in the layout of a factory so that the processing work and insulating work of the sector conductor can be performed in one process at the same time. Accordingly, there were problems in that existing conductor processing equipment must be changed and insulating equipment must be invested for the purpose of sector conductor processing.
- (Patent Document 1)

- First, the
inner conductors 111 of the shapedsector 110 are the first type wire cores and are wires according to the regulations of the conductors of class 5 or 6 regulated in IEC 60228 and BS 6360, or the conductors of class I, K or M regulated in ASTM, and they have a multi-wire form. Accordingly, theinner conductor 111 has the flexible conductor or more flexible conductor form of Table 1, and has a characteristic in that it has better availability than a conventional sector conductor. - Next, the round conductor, include the
inner conductors 111 and theouter conductors 112 which are the second type wire cores different from the first type wire cores and wires according to the regulations of the conductors of class 2 regulated in IEC 60228 and BS 6360, or the regulations of the conductors of class B regulated in ASTM, have the stranded conductor form of Table 1, and are formed of heterogeneous conductors, that is, the first type wire cores formed of the second type wire cores, respectively, by disposing the round conductor to generally surround the outermost side of theinner conductors 111, is formed as illustrated inFIG. 4(a) . - The shape of the round conductor is changed into a sector (fan shape) form as illustrated in

Theseparating layer 113 surrounding the outside of theouter conductors 112 may be further formed on the outer circumference of theouter conductors 112 whose shape has been changed into the sector form in order to prevent the second type wire cores that form theouter conductors 112 from adhering to an insulator to be coated in a next process, if necessary. - Next, the insulating
layer 114 is formed at a specific thickness by coating the insulator having a single layer made of a single material or a dual layer made of two different materials on the outside of the shapedsectors 110. - When the insulator is coated as described above, the
binding layer 120 is formed on the outside of the plurality of shapedsectors 110 twisted in a spiral form at specific intervals by binding and disposing the shapedsectors 110 surrounded by the insulatinglayer 114 in a radial form so that the bound shape forms a circular cross section and by compressing and binding neighboringshaped sectors 110 so that the radius portions of the neighboring shapedsectors 110 are subjected to a surface contact up to the central part of the circle. Accordingly, the conductor layer forming the cable bounded by the plurality of shapedsectors 110 can be formed. - Furthermore, the
metal insulating layer 121 may be formed on the outside of thebinding layer 120, if necessary, using any one of one or two or more tape layers, a braid or concentric wire rod layer, and a binding layer of a wire rod and a tape so that themetal insulating layer 121 surrounds the outside of thebinding layer 120. - When the formation of the conductor layer of the power cable is completed by the plurality of shaped
sectors 110 as described above, theinner conductors 111 and theouter conductors 112 within each of the shapedsectors 110 are divided into different types of conductors and primarily formed.
