HT and FO Cable Crossing

01/13/2014 12:05 AM

Can anyone help me on, how much would be the gap between HT 132kV cable directly buried cable, the FO cable crossing the HT with sleeve?

HT is direct burried and FO - buried with PVC sleeve

FO deals with only light waves. As far my limited knowledge, EMI does not affect the signal.

It is better to provide sufficient gap between the HV cable and the sleeve for FO, as much needed for maintenance of HV Cable and its excavation. minimum of 300 mm is practical in use.

You need to determine which codes and standards apply to your jurisdiction, then follow those rules. If the two cables are utility owned and maintained in the U.S. the clearances would be per the National Electrical Safety Code, and if not utility owned, per the National Electrical Code ... more or less.

For either code to be in effect, that code has to have been adopted by the local jurisdiction. In most states, the public utility commission, or state legislature adopts the National Electrical Safety Code, but they may lag by a few years, so the most recent many not be the applicable version. In most states, state legislature or local building departments adopt the National Electrical Code as the rule, but again they may lag by a year or two, and they may have additional rules of their own.

If you are not in the United States, I do not have a clue.

Ramadass.ar:

Look also at what the FO cable's strength member is. It is most likely "kevlar", but if it is metal, then you have other significant issues with regard to separation.

The minimum gap would be zero; <...how much...> occurs in reality cannot be seen from here.
