Shield Voltage Calculation for 25kV

Shield Voltage Calculation for 25kV

Shield Voltage Calculation for 25kV

(OP)
I wanted to know if anybody has carried out calculations for a. Floating voltage b. Circulating current & c.Shield loss per unit length...for 25kV, 3C, cable with core shields ungrounded at one end / grounded at both ends. Interestingly, some relevant sections in IEEE 525-2007 have been removed and there is not much to fall back on.

RE: Shield Voltage Calculation for 25kV

Okonite has an article about this on their web site.

RE: Shield Voltage Calculation for 25kV

According to EPRI EL-5036 Power Plant Electrical Reference Series, Vol. 4, "Wire and Cable"
ch. Shield Impedances.
Xm=2*Pi()*F*(0.1404*LOG10(S/rm)) micro OHM/ft
Let's take a 25 kV  3*500 MCM copper conductor cable [Okonite]
http://www.okonite.com/Product_Catalog/section2/section2-pdfs/2-25.pdf
S=1.48 in. rm=1.49/2 F=60  Irated=600 A [in air 40oC] 1000 ft length
Xm=16.09 /10^6 ohm/ft
Induced voltage= Irated*Xm=0.0096523 V/ft  9.65 volt/1000 ft
