3 1.0 PURPOSE This chapter of the U/G Power Cable Transmission Engineering Standards (TES-P-104) is an introductory chapter to (TES-P-104). It provides general information applicable to underground cables and their applications to the system of Transmission Business Unit (TBU) of Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Chapters of TES-P-104 and the references therein serve as a guide to the Design Engineer. 2.0 SCOPE The U/G Power Cable Transmission Engineering Standards (TES-P-104): 2.1 Covers the following cable nominal voltage ratings: Service (Low Voltage) Cables: 0.6/1 kv Distribution (Medium Voltage) Cables: 13.8 kv or 34.5 kv Transmission (High Voltage) Cables: 69 kv, 110 kv, 115 kv, 132 kv, 230 kv or 380 kv. 2.2 Reflects the use of the following types of cables and their applications: Cross-Linked Polyethylene Cable (XLPE) Low Pressure Oil-Filled Cable (LPOF). 2.3 Intended to help the Design Engineer in selection of the appropriate type and size of the power cable. 2.4 Contains the type of installation and the installation requirements in details. These are developed to govern the practices and procedures which shall be adopted by the Design Engineer for the design of underground cable systems. 2.5 Covers the drawings and ampacity tables in different installations cases and their requirements in details, which shall enable the engineers to design and install the power cables within the specified parameters. 2.6 Shows the various types and requirements of splicing and terminations of XLPE and LPOF power cables. However, it shall not cover the requirements for LPOF or XLPE cable termination at GIS cable boxes or at oil boxes at power transformers. 2.7 Serves as a guideline in selection of the single core power cable sheath bonding and grounding method of insulated metallic sheath of power cables. 2.8 The technical data provided in this standard (TES-P-104) for 0.6/1 kv, 13.8 kv or 34.5 kv are intended for general information.

He shall bring to the attention of TBU of SEC, any latest revisions of these Codes and Standards which may have an impact on the technical requirements of TES-P Whenever different Codes and Standards are used, TBU of SEC approval to the same shall be obtained before proceeding with design. These Codes and Standards shall be equal to or better than those specified in TES-P ORDER OF PRECEDENCE In case of any conflict between various documents and standards or specifications for U/G power cable projects, the order of precedence shall be as follows: 4.1 The Scope of Work and Technical Specifications (SOW/TS) for the project. 4.2 Transmission Materials Standard Specifications (TMSS). 4.3 This standard (TES-P-104). 4.4 Other applicable Transmission Engineering Standards (TES). 4.5 Applicable Industry Codes and Standards. 5.0 SYSTEM PARAMETERS 5.1 Frequency The nominal frequency for SEC system is 60 Hz and the permissible operating frequency range is between 59.9 Hz and 60.1 Hz. The transient frequency variations shall be between 58.5 Hz and 61.5 Hz. 5.2 System Voltage The standard nominal system voltages adopted by SEC are listed in Table The permissible operating voltage range is ± 5% under normal operating conditions and PAGE NO. 4 OF 6

5 ± 10%, for 30 minutes, under emergency operating conditions. These are detailed in Table Table 01-1: System Voltages Nominal System Voltage Voltage Range (Normal Operating Condition, ±5%) Voltage Range (Single Contingency Emergency Operating condition for 30 minutes, ±10%) (kvrms) (kvrms) (kvrms) Short Circuit Rating The 3φ symmetrical interrupting (short circuit) current ratings of the various underground cables shall be as specified in Table Table 01-2: 3φ Symmetrical Interrupting Short Circuit Current Ratings for Various Underground Cables Underground Cable Nominal 3φ Symmetrical Interrupting Voltage Rating Current (kv) (ka rms) /63* /63* /40* * It shall be specified by the design engineer.

This waiver shall be taken for over-specification as well as under-specification. 6.2 In case of any deviations from this Standard (TES-P-104) during the Base Design and detailed design of any U/G power cable project, it is the responsibility of the engineer preparing the base design or detailed design to obtain appropriate waiver from TS&SD before finalizing the design. 6.3 Any cases of conflicts or deviations which cannot be resolved shall be referred to TS&SD who will be the final authority for correct interpretation of the standards and associated documents, as applicable.
