Joints are a primary cause of failureCause of Joint Failure• Incorrect design and or joint selection

• Poor quality joints

• Poor jointing workmanship/lack of skills

• External mechanical impact

Cost of joint Failure• Loss of transmission and related revenue

• Cost of rectification

• Penalty/damages costs

• Loss of reputation

Mitigating the Risk• Minimise/eliminate joints with longer drum lengths

• Connect point to point

• Engineer/select joints to eliminate failure

• Jointer training and accreditation

• Testing of joint design (and jointer skills)

Optimising whole of life reliability & performance of all MV & HV projects • Wind farm HV interconnector and MV collector systems

• Solar Farm HV interconnector, DC Feeder and AC Collector Systems

• Rail Electrification HV and MV Power Systems

• Resource Project main power and process MV and HV connections

• Mining Project main power connections

• Commercial and Industrial development HV Power connections

FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTIONCabling systems can represent as little as 2% of the project capital cost, whilst the cost of rectifying avoidable system failures can be as high as 15% of the operating cost.

No one else can match the specialised expertise, experience and understanding of the local operating environment factors as the Nexans Olex Engineering Support Services Team.

Preventing system failure can be as simple as managing the impact of the operating environment effect on ratings during design, installation and even the life of the system.

WHOLE OF LIFE OPTIMISATIONFOR MEDIUM AND HIGH VOLTAGE UNDERGROUND CABLE SYSTEMS

Introducing Nexans Olex

Whole of Life Cycle for a Cable System

Most cable system failures are the result of deficiencies in the project’s design and installation, often due to the lack of understanding, experience and familiarity with the specific local operating conditions.The Nexans Olex Engineering Support Services has been developed to assist our customers in achieving the Whole Of Life performance optimisation for medium and high voltage underground cable systems. Efficient and trouble free operation of the cable system is only possible following a careful and detailed consideration of electrical load characteristics along with the installation and operating environment parameters.

Cable System Design Optimise performance and minimise costs:

• Designing route section lengths and

configuration to best minimising jointing while

meeting induced current & voltage limits

• Designing for installation constraints and

special route requirements including road

crossings and under bores.

• Designing MV collector systems to optimise

ratings and cable sizing

• System Condition Monitoring Design

• TR Value Analysis

• Thermal Modelling

• Complex Multiple Circuits

Cable Design & Operating EnvironmentCable construction/designs to best meet operating environment and design life targets:

• Soil/Sand

• Rock/Mechanical Impact

• Cable Joints

• Seasonal Water Ingress

• Other Services and Circuits

• Termites and Rodents

• Direct Burial

• UV

• Lightning

• Ambient Temperature

Cable Standards and Specification Preparation and AdviceReview your needs and develop cable and accessory specifications to best satisfy relevant Australian and International standards, operation & whole of life targets.

• Cable and Accessory Specifications

• Third Party Specification compliance

• Review/recommend Type and Prequalification Test requirements for cable and accessories
