In a HT cable there are 2 layers of semiconductor one on the conductor and second on the XLPE insulation.

As we know semiconductor behaves as conductor when temperature rises. So when the HT cable is on load its conductor temperature rises due to this the semicon layer which is on conductor behaves like conductor and as a result overall cross section area is increased.

now the second semicon layer which is over XLPE on temp rise behaves as conductor and used for dessipating heat out of conductor as the cable heat due to load.

Can you use HT cable in place of Lt cable?

For LT cable 1. Use : Up to 690V 2. Insulation : PVC 3. Core(Neutral) : Yes 4. Insulation Grading : 1100 V For HT cable 1. Use : Above 690 2. Insulation : XLPE 3. Core(Neutral) : No 4. Insulation Grading : Above 3.3kV, 11KV..etc ( Please note that now 690 V using in VFD application with LV cable and 440 V for DOT motor starter) from Kunal Singh Dabi the_dabi@rediffmaill.com

Why Vacuum circuit breaker is using HT and why Air circuit breaker is using in LT?

Dielectric Strength of Vacuum is more than that of Air. In HT voltage is more than LT. So VCB is used in HT & ACB in LT. Rakesh Gaikwad
