Power Cable Installation
This online engineering PDH course provides an in-depth overview of power cable installation methods, considerations, and best practices.
The course covers common installation methods including exposed installations, raceways and conduits, cable trays, cablebus systems, vertical installations, underground and overhead installations, tunnel installations, and low-temperature installations, with references to applicable codes, standards, and industry guidelines.
Detailed sections focus on underground medium-voltage cable installations, addressing conduit fill and jamming, cable spacing, bend radius, pulling tension, sidewall bearing pressure, and pulling methods. Additional topics include overhead conductor installation, sag and tension calculations, creep behavior, rated tensile strength, thermal considerations, ampacity calculations, and installation derating factors. The course also dives deeper into armoured cable installation, cable tray installations, termination, splicing, removal, and purging.
This 8 PDH course is intended for engineers, designers, and technical professionals involved in the design, installation, or maintenance of low- and medium-voltage power cable systems or anyone interested in learning how power cables are installed.
