Acceptance of air and cable lines into operation. Acceptance and maintenance of cable lines


Acceptance of cable lines - the final stage of work on their laying and installation. After the end of the laying work, when the power cable and coupling couplings are not available for direct inspection, the reception of cable lines is carried out only in the process of electrical tests. However, existing methods of electrical tests do not allow to identify all defects in the laid line. Therefore, the reliability of the cable line in operation can

ensure only if during the construction of the line the rules of laying and installation of couplings are not violated.

The commissioned paved power cable according to the design must comply with the conditions of the environment and the adopted method of laying. Uninterrupted operation during the operation of the cable line largely depends on the correctly selected type and brand of the paved cable.

Acceptance of structures on the highway of the cable line precedes the laying in them of power cables. By the beginning of the laying of cables in underground facilities ensure the end of all construction work. When accepting the construction part of underground structures check: the correct location of underground structures, the presence of slopes in them for water drain, if it is. It is necessary, electrical lighting, waterproofing and ventilation, the correspondence of the internal dimensions of the project, the absence of gas and water, as well as the state of reinforced concrete structures. In addition, extraneous underground communications left in the underground structure are checked with the project and the correctness of the method of their intersection with cable structures, for example, in additional case pipes, as well as the presence of heat-insulation for heat pipelines, etc., the correctness of laying of block sewage pipes are checked by dragging metallic cylinder with a diameter, 5 mM smaller internal diameter of checked pipes.

Check the checks of the hatches of the wells (which, with an improved road coating, should not differ from their marks to more than 1 cm), the presence of shut-off covers, mortgage parts for mounting the cable when the cable laying. In the roadway, cast-iron hatches must be laid on the lining reinforced concrete rings.

Check quality of work In the process of laying consists in determining the depth of the cable laying, permissible bending radii, the absence of substances in the soil, corrosive cable shells, distances between cables in the light (at least 100 mm), distances at the intersections and rapprochement of the laid power cable with rail and tram paths, heat cable, heat cable pipes, communication cables, etc.; The presence of a sandy bed under cable and pillows, protective coatings, cable reserves in front of couplings to compensate for the length and corresponding couplings in marsh and weak soils. Especially often there are mechanical damage to cables when dragging them in pipes across the streets, as well as when entering the building. Control over the strict compliance with the Montage Montage technology is to check the steep bends of the veins, the size of their cutting, the density of the isolation winding, the quality of the soldering, as well as the quality of the mounting material, the correspondence of the cable headset, tools and fixtures.

In the act on hidden work reflect the following:

inspection of the paved cable;

device "bed", "pillows", protect the cable line from mechanical damage;

compliance of the dimensions of mutual convergence and intersection with other underground communications;

installation of all couplings.

If the project on the cable line provides for the electrical protection of metal cable cable shells from corrosion, then the protocols confirming the correct operation of protective anti-corrosion devices must be transferred to operation.

Before turning on the paved cable line, the minimum volume of starting tests, which consists in determining the integrity of the cable vehicle, in measuring the insulation resistance between the cable veins and between the veins and the land, in testing the high voltage cable line of the straightened current and checking the action of anti-corrosion protection devices from wandering Currents. At the same time, the correctness of the correspondence has been checked by phases from both ends of the line regardless of their coloring.

Voltage lines below 1000 V are checked for continuity (absence of a break), and to match the insulation resistance rate of 0.5 MΩ (Pue). If the measured insulation resistance is less than 0.5 MΩ, then the insulation is additionally insulated with an increased voltage of 1000 V for 1 minute. With a positive result, the line includes work.

Voltage lines above 1000 V.

Continuity check.

Checking the phasing of the cable lived: L1 (a) lived to be connected to the yellow bus, L2 (B) lived - to the green tire, L3 (C) lived - to the red tire.

Test cable lines with high voltage.

The newly paved cable lines are tested with straightened voltage within 10 minutes.

Single-cores with stitched polyethylene insulation are tested by variable voltage of a frequency of 0.1 Hz or a constant voltage applied between residential and metal screen for 15 minutes.

After testing by constant voltage, it is necessary to ground the conductive core or connect it to the screen for a while at least 1 hour.

The test voltage is applied to one cable core. The rest are connected to the shell (screen) and ground. When testing, the voltage rise should be performed smoothly, no faster than 1 square meter per second. The leakage current of a serviceable cable (except for insulation cables from the SEP should be stable and should not exceed the values \u200b\u200bof 300 - 500 μA for cables up to 10 kV and 1.5 - 1.8 mA for cables 20 - 35 kV. The permissible value of the asymmetry coefficient (IMAX / Imin) is in the range of 2 - 3.

3.10. Cable lines service.

Supervision of cable lines, cable structures and cable lines are made in order to verify their state by periodic bypass and inspection in the deadlines provided for by PTE and local instructions. Extraordinary bypass and inspections are made during the flood period and after the showers, as well as when the lines are disconnected with relay protection.

When bypass in the inspections of the cable lines, it is necessary:

Check that the tracks are not made not agreed with the energy enterprise, as well as that there were no rubers of the tracks with garbage, slag, garbage, there were no failures and landslides of the soil;

Inspect the place of intersection of cable runs with railways;

Inspect the place of intersection of cable trails by highways, ditches and cuvettes;

Inspect the condition of devices and cables laid through bridges, dams, overpass and other similar facilities;

Check in places of output cables on the walls of buildings or support of the power lines of power, the presence and status of protection of cables from mechanical damage, the serviceability of the end coupling;

When examining cable lines laid in cable structures, it is necessary:

Check the condition of the anticorrosive covers of metal cable shells;

Measure the temperature of the cable shells;

Check the external state of connecting couplings and end sealing;

Check, there are no displacements and cables, whether the distance provided by PUEs between cables is observed;

Check the presence and correctness of the labeling of cables;

Check no lighting;

Measure the air temperature in the premises;

Check the health of the alarm and fire extinguishing devices;

Check whether the soil and wastewater do not penetrate, there are no technological waste production.

Check the condition of cable wells;

Check the status of end areas and end couplings of cable lines set in distribution devices of power plants and substations.

Cables with paper and plastic insulation with a voltage above 1000 V, in operation, should be periodically subjected to prophylactic tests with a straightened voltage equal to the five-time nominal value for 5 minutes. Such a test voltage is sufficient to detect weak points in the cable and in the couplings. (For example: the electrical strength of the maintenance of a 6 kV cable isolating is 200 - 250 kV).

Preventive tests reveal 70 - 85% of defects, the remaining 30 - 15% lead to the disconnection of working lines. They also protect the network from multi-sided damage during overvoltages.

The frequency of preventive tests is established from once a year to once every three years. More often experience cables operated in more difficult conditions.

It has been established that the punching voltage at a negative polarity by 5 - 10% is lower than when positive. Therefore, when testing with straightened voltage, the negative pole of the source is recommended to connect to the test housing, and positive - to connect with a metal shell and ground.

When testing the ends of the cable from the distribution side, they usually do not extend, and disconnects are disconnected. At the same time, a terminal clutch and support insulators are tested simultaneously with the cable. In some cases, it is advisable to experiencing several cables together for several cables together in a chain. In this case, together with cables, transformer P / art transformers falling into the chain, but all transformers (power and voltages) must be disabled.

It is convenient to perform a simultaneous test of parallel cables attached to one unit (transformer, switch, etc.). These cables usually have a section more than 150 mm2. Their disconnection and reverse connection is associated with the bend and possible damage to the insulation of the end couplings.

Chapter XI. Operation and repair of cable lines

§ 46. Acceptance of cable lines and maintenance facilities

The acceptance of cable lines is made after the end of the work on the cable laying and the installation of the connecting and end couplings. All work is performed in accordance with the approved and coordinated project, the instruction of the Gosstroke on the laying of cables with a voltage of up to 110 kV (CH 85 - 74) and the current technical documentation for couplings for cables with paper and plastic isolation.

Cable lines during acceptance are subjected to inspections and electrical tests. Cables of hidden pads (in trenches, blocks, etc.) can not be examined after the end of all work on the tracks, and the existing methods of electrical tests do not allow to identify all defects in the paved line. Therefore, in order to ensure good quality of work, it is necessary to control the cable laying and the installation of the couplings during their production, that is, to carry out technical supervision.

Technical supervision includes: checking cable structures and tranches; Introduction to the factory cable test protocols and its condition; checking the quality of work during cable laying and mounted couplings; Control over the presence of certificates of installation personnel that allow them to fulfill the specified works. It is carried out by the organization that will exploit the padded cable.

Trench, Channels, Tunnels and other cable facilities are performed taking into account the minimum allowable radii and bends of cables given in Table. sixteen.

Note. DK- outer cable diameter.

When examining cable structures, there must be checked: the presence of sludge for water flow, electric lighting, ventilation and water package, the correspondence of the internal size of the project, the state of reinforced concrete structures, etc.

Checking the quality of work when laying the cable includes: control via a dynamometer for the cable tension force; Determination of permissible radii of bends, depth of laying and distances between parallel with cables, as well as distances between the extreme cables and walls of structures; Determination of distances at intersections and convergence of cables with various facilities; Control over the presence of a sand pillow under cable, protective coatings, cable reserves before couplings, marking tags.

Mounting control coupling includes a check: compliance of the sizewn sizer cable cross section; availability of conditioned and not overdue (shelf life) component materials; availability of appropriate tools and devices; Compliance with the mandatory technology and installation sequence.

On the marking tags, they designate their brand, rated voltage, the number and section of the veins, the number or name of the cable line. On the tags of the connecting couplings of power cables, in addition, indicate the installation date and surname of the electric cable trainer; And on the excavation tags - end items (from where and where the cable is laid).

Cables after laying, mounting cable clutches and end sealing, installation of end sealing (in cable compartment, etc.) are tested by the standards provided by Pue.

Simultaneously with the tests, the correspondence has been tested by the phases of both ends of the line, regardless of their coloring: PUE is installed the order of alternation of the colors of the phases of tire RU. Phase L.1 tire painted in yellow, phase L.2 - Green, phase L.3, - red, and zero working tire N.- Blue color, insulation lived cable lines - on the colors of the tires to which they join.

After turning on the cable line, the voltage of the instruments check the phasing, which is to determine the phase phase of the cable and the connected tire. If the voltage difference between the residential cable and the phase of the RU tire is zero, this means the correspondence of the phases, if not equal to zero, it means the phase inconsistency and the incorrect connection of the cable. The inclusion of such a cable in the chain of the main scheme can cause a short circuit. For the phasing of the cable lines with a voltage of 6 and 10 kV, a voltage pointers are used in a set with an empty resistance (Fig. 112).

Documentation for commissioning cable lines. Vatechnical documentation includes a cable line project with changes, retreats and instructions with whom and when they were agreed.

On the plane of the cable line laid in the trench, are given: coordinates of the connecting couplings, tied to existing constant buildings or special identification signs; Scheme of the cable line with the factory numbers of the drums of the paved cables and their lengths; The sequence of laying drums and the numbering of the connecting coupling when laying cables in the trench; Materials in coordination of the cable line route. In addition, acts are given: acceptance of trenches and cable structures for installation; on hidden work on the laying of pipes; inspection of cables on the drums before laying and protocols of their factory tests; inspection of cable sewage in trenches and channels before closing; Cable gasket logs and cable closures with voltage above 1000, as well as protocols for heating cables on the drum before laying at low temperatures and electrical tests of power cables after the installation.

All these acts and protocols are in a common statement, which together with the documentation is presented during delivery. Acceptance of the cable line is carried out on the act.

During the acceptance of the constructed cable lines (CL), it is not possible to check the quality of the gasket are hidden by the paved cables and the correct installation of the couplings. Therefore, the exploited enterprise carries out technical supervision of the work in the process of laying cables and mounting couplings.

The supervision person receives special training and has special rights to it. It must be traced that all underground facilities related to cable networks, as well as the intersection of cable lines with other underground structures corresponded to the project. With the participation of the technical supercharger, the cable inspection is carried out when they are on the drums. If during the inspection there will be doubts about the suitability of the cable, it is subjected to special tests.

The technical documentation provided by the Acceptance Commission should include the Executive Drawing of the track, coordinated with the interested organizations (owners of underground communications located near the cable route), acts of external inspection of cables on the drums, acts of hidden work (inspection of the laid cables before filling trenches), as well as Cable test protocols after the cable line facilities.

When inspecting the operating cable line, the Acceptance Commission draws attention to the fact that the places where the cables are possible (transported cargo or from any other reasons), at an altitude of 2 m from the ground level were protected by pipes, boxes, etc.; The cables were securely fixed in the end points, in the places of bends, at the connecting coupling, funnel, etc.; Cables, laid in pipes, tunnels, channels and industrial premises, did not have an outer cover from cable yarn dangerous in the fireplace; On the support surfaces from combustible materials, the cables were laid on the brackets, and with the preservation of the distance between the cables and the support surface of at least 50 mm; The paved cables were equipped with tags on which brands, voltages, cross-section and cable length are indicated. On the tags of the coupling and sealing, in addition, the date and surname of the person who produced work is indicated. Before accepting cables in operation, they conduct tests in accordance with the norms.

The most significant in the maintenance of operated cable lines is thorough monitoring of their tracks and control over the load of cables. During the operation of cable lines, they must regularly conduct their passport. Line passport In addition to the technical specifications of the cables and conditions of their gasket contains information about the results of previous tests, repairs, which helps to establish the correct mode for the lines and to display them in a timely manner.

The cable lines should be kept in cleanliness, near it should not be foreign objects, as they can interfere with the work when eliminating accidents and repair cables laid in the ground, the surface layer of the Earth on the track should not have failures, erosions and other abnormalities that can cause Cable damage.

Reliable and long-term CL work can be provided with compliance with the rule of technical operation of these lines. The maintenance of CL includes revisions, inspections and repair of equipment. Examines are planned and unscheduled (or special). Unplanned inspections are produced under such conditions when there is a threat of damage to lines, as well as their automatic shutdowns. Maintenance is carried out on the basis of promising, annual and monthly work plans. During revisions and inspections, prophylactic measurements are carried out and eliminate small malfunctions. Table 1 shows the frequency of work during maintenance of CL up to 35 square meters.
