Why earth cable used along with the 11kV power cable?

If you are referring to an 11-kV underground cable, these are normally armoured and, in the case of older cables, have a lead sheath to prevent moisture ingress into the cable. The lead sheath and metal armour are earthed to ensure that, in the event of mechanical damage to the cable, there is a low-resistance path back to the source to sufficient earth-fault current flows in order to operate the circuit's protective system. Overhead lines do not normally have a separate earth conductor.


Are power cable armour to be earthed at both ends or at one end only?

One end only. Single point grounding is a rule of thumb. The reason for this is when you run cables together, including a shield or ground cable, the cables with power flowing in them will induce a voltage on the other cables. If two grounds are placed on a shield or ground cable, unwanted current will flow in a loop through the cable.


How to calculate power loss in power cable?

The length of the cable is determined by the distance from the center of the distribution panel to the center of the load.


What is difference between cable tray and cable trunks?

Cable tray is a system of wiring in a building in which insulated electrical wires are used to distribute power and communication to various access points. Cable trunks are power supply lines that are used to distribute power and communication services to large areas such as industrialized cities.

Where core cable and pair cable is used?

Assuming you're taking about 'twin core and earth' cable - it's commonly used to supply power to high-current devices such as cookers and immersion heaters.


How do you reduce induced voltage in control cables?

You can reduce induced voltage in control cable by applying the following methods. 1. While laying control cable keep a minimum distance 300mm from the power cable. 2. If possible try to lay control cable on the separate cable tray. 3. Earth the Armour/ screen of the control cable on both side of the cable or at-least at one side. Some times it is not important to reduce the the induced voltage in control cable, but it's effect on relay or contactor as the contactor or relay does not pick-down even after the removal of the control supply. In that case it is recommended to use two relay/contactor in parallel and use the contacts in series or parallel for control circuit interlocking.
