CUSTOMER SERVICE
Ducab is the premier cable manufacturer in the United Arab Emirates and, since 1979, has been meeting the
requirements of customers throughout the GCC, Middle East and Asian markets. Ducab cables are preferred for the
following reasons:
PRODUCT QUALITY
Ducab is committed to supplying its customers with the highest quality of product and of service. Ducabs cables have
been type approved by recognized certifying bodies such as BASEC UK (British Approval Service for Cables), Lloyds
Register of the UK, KEMA Netherland, LPCB UK ( Loss Prevention Certification Board), ESMA

RELIABILITY
Specifying the right cable for a particular application is the first step. The key to reliability however, is in the manufacturing
process. The cable must be free from material and manufacturing defects, and weaknesses that will be revealed in
service.
Ducab constantly monitors its manufacturing processes and operates stringent quality assurance procedures to give
long term reliability. This is of vital significance where cables are to be installed in locations where future access would
be difficult and this is where Ducabs reputation and resources give peace of mind.

Cable Selection
It is essential that any design of a cable system selected for a particular project or a distribution system is
suitable for its intended use. Choice needs to be based on a range of factors including installation specications,
local regulations and the required performance characteristics, some of which are shown below:
normal current load
maximum fault current and its duration under fault conditions
voltage grade
subsoil conditions for underground installations e.g., presence of water, soil temperature and thermal
resistivity, possible attack of rodents, termites etc.
cable re performance requirements
compatibility with an existing distribution system
In the tables in the next section, cable constructions and performance features correspond to IEC 60502-2
Standard and Ducabs in-house quality norms.
Cable Design and Construction

Conductors
The conductors of all Ducabs HV and MV cables, both copper and aluminium, with the exception of very
large sizes of 800sq mm and abo ve, are all HCC + design.
These are highly compacted and concentric conductors and offer the following advantages:
* Smaller overall size
* Smoother conductor/conducting screen interface
Conductors of 800 sq mm and above, are plain stranded and wrapped with penetration resistant semiconductive tape prior to passage through the triple extrusion line.
All conductors comply with the requirements of IEC 60228, Class 2.
Conductor Screen
This is a layer of crosslinkable semi-conducting compound extruded directly over the conductor during the
XLPE insulation extrusion.

Cable Selection
Insulation
All Ducabs MV and HV cables feature DFI XLPE insulation which is virtually discharge free,
ensuring a long and trouble-free service life.
The insulation is extruded and dry cured to meet the requirements of the standards and/or customer
specication. A high degree of concentricity is assured through the use of x-ray monitoring device during
extrusion. The XLPE insulation is capable of operating continuously at 90C.
Insulation Screen
This is a layer of cross-linkable semi-conducting compound extruded directly over the insulation at
the same time when the conductor screen and XLPE insulation are extruded. This semi-conducting screen
is cold strippable but fully bonded screens may be provided, if specied.
Metallic Screen
The metallic screen can be a helically applied copper tape or a number of copper wires applied with a
lay or a combination of tape and wires applied over the semi-conducting screen. The metallic screen
provides the earth fault current path and it is of a cross section designed as per customers specication.
In case of three core cables, phase identication tapes (red/yellow/blue) are generally longitudinally
applied under the metallic screen.
Laying up
In the case of three core cables, the three cores identied as red, yellow and blue are laid up together
with polypropylene string llers at the interstices between the three cores. A binder e.g., polyester tape is
wrapped round the assembly to form a compact circular cable during this process.
Lead Sheath
The material of lead sheath is lead alloy grade PB021K of composition as given in BS EN12548
(erstwhile known as alloy E). The thickness of the lead sheath is in accordance with EEMUA
(Publication no. 133). The lead sheath perform the mechanical function of acting as a barrier to entry of
hydrocarbons. In addition, it can also be engaged to perform the electrical function of sharing the earth
fault current with the armour.

Bedding Sheath
Black polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or Polyethylene (PE) Compound is extruded over the laid up 3 core
cable or on the screened single core cables.
Armouring
This process is not applicable if an unarmoured cable is specied. If armour is required, then following
variations are possible:
Single Core Cables:
Aluminium armour wires applied all round the cable with a lay.
Three Core Cables:
a) Galvanised Steel Wires applied all round the cable with a lay.
b) Galvanised Steel Tapes applied helically to provide coverage all round the cable.
Oversheath
This is an extruded layer of black PVC (Type ST2) or PE (Type ST 3 or ST7) as required by customer
specication. The oversheath has an embossed legend in two or more lines appropriate for the cable.
Special Features
The cable as a whole or its specic cores or other design elements can vary in a number of ways to
meet specic customer needs. The following are some examples, and by no means an exhaustive list of
special features possible:
Longitudinal and radial water blocking of conductors, cores or complete cable.
Extra water-tree retardant XLPE insulation
PVC oversheath with:
a) reduced ame propagation (RP) and low HCL (LHCL) emission properties
b) anti-termite properties
Ducab Smokemaster Low Smoke and Fume construction using zero-halogen bedding and
oversheath
Oversheath of red colour with sulphide-resistant and/or UV resistant properties
Graphite coated oversheath
Embossed legend as per customer specication
Metre length marking

Technical Data
Current Ratings and Rating Factors
The current ratings of copper conductor cables stated in the tables in this catalogue are based on the IEC 60287 Publication, assuming continuous conductor operating
temperature of 90C, for cables laid underground or in air, or drawn through ducts.
These ratings are applicable for conditions dened in the tables and derating factors need to be applied in case of variations in:
Ambient temperature
Ground temperature
Depth of buried cable
Thermal resistivity of soil
Multiple circuits and their conguration
Appropriate tables for derating factors are provided in the latter part of this catalogue.
Short Circuit Ratings
The short circuit rating graph given in this catalogue assume nal conductor temperature of 250C rising from 90C i.e., in a fully loaded condition. It is therefore
necessary that accessories used with the cables are also capable of operation at these values of fault current and temperature.
The tables also indicate the specic short circuit fault current rating for a duration of one second for each cable size and type. When the fault duration (t) is different,
then the appropriate rating may be obtained by multiplying the 1 second rating by the factor 1/t.
Short circuit forces should be taken into account when single core cables are installed touching each other. Cleating and strapping should be such that repulsive
forces that occur under short circuit conditions are contained.
Installation
Cables described in this publication are suitable for laying direct in ground, in air or drawn through ducts. Special construction features are needed when sustained
wet conditions prevail in the ground.
Cable pulling forces have to be limited according to the total conductor cross section area (A) in mm2 and the maximum may be limited to A x 50 Newtons for
copper and A x 30 Newtons for aluminium.
Cable bending radii are recommended as follows:
Minimum Bending Radius

20D
15D
Single core armoured
15D
12D
Three core unarmoured
15D

10D
D is overall cable diameter.

As intended in all international specications; whenever possible larger installation radii shoul be used. Minimum values hold for areas of constraints such as close
to joints or terminations etc.
Voltage Tests After Installation

The following test levels are recommended for cables immediately after installation.

Repeated voltage tests of an installation, particularly with cables in service for more than 5 years can be detrimental and hence not recommended. If unavoidable,
50% of above voltages may be applied for tests.

Cables installed in free air:
All the ratings for cables run in air are based upon the assumption that they are shielded from
direct sunlight and without restriction of ventilation.

Effect of grouping cables: No reduction in rating is necessary where there is free circulation of air
around the circuits provided that:
1. The horizontal clearance between circuits is not less than twice the overall diameter of an
individual cable.
2. The vertical clearance between circuits is not less than four times the diameter of an individual
cable.
3. If the number of circuits exceeds three, they are installed in a horizontal plane.
Copper Screen for single core unarmoured cables:

It is common practice to provide copper screen of minimum cross-sectional area (as indicated below) for single core unarmoured
cables, unless specic earth fault requirements of the system govern the same. In the latter case, it is advisable to design the copper
screen to carry the specied earth fault current.

Cable Drum Handling

Ducab Medium Voltage cables should be installed by trained personnel in accordance with good engineering practices, recognised
codes of practice, statutory local requirements, IEE wiring regulations and where relevant, in accordance with any specic
instructions issued by the company. Cables are often supplied in heavy cable drums and handling these drums can constitute a safety
hazard. In particular, dangers may arise during the removal of steel binding straps and during the removal of retaining battens and
timbers which may expose projecting nails.
For detailed information, refer to Ducab's Drum Handling Instructions Catalogue.
