Final temperature and dynamics of conductors in installation cables - modelling and measurement (English)
Abstract [sv]

Detta arbete undersöker temperaturdynamiken och sluttemperaturen hos ledare iinstallationskablar för olika fall av belastningsström. En laborativ model och entidsstegande numerisk modell har skapats och jämförts. Resultaten jämförs med denmärkström som ges i installationsstandarder, och även med de överlastnivåer somkan tolereras av säkringar och strömbrytare enlig Europeiska standarder.Exempel på användningsområden för studiens resultat är kabelklassificeringar medtillfälliga laster, och potentiell överlast på grund av tung belastning kombineratmed extra matningar till en krets (t.ex. inkopplad solkraft). De studerade kablarnavar fyllda och ofyllda 3-ledarkablar (varav 2 belastade) med PEX-isolering, allamed 1,5 mm2 kopparledare (EQLQ 3G 1,5 mm2). De testades fritt i luft och i ensektion av värmeisolerad vägg. Strömmar applicerades från en styrbar likströmskälla.Ledarens temperatur mättes genom att logga spänningsfallet över en cirka 10 cmlång ledarsektion, med tanke på resistansens temperaturkoefficient. Denna metodverifierades genom tester i ett värmeskåp.Resultaten visade att ledarna maximalt nådde 92 % av den tillåtna drifttemperaturen(90 ◦C) vid 150 % belastning av typisk säkringsstorlek. Kombinerat med extramatningar nådde den maximala temperaturen 118 % av drifttemperaturen vid 170 %belastning av typisk säkringsstorlek. Resultaten visade också en temperaturskillnadmellan horisontella och vertikala förläggningar, som varierade från 3-10 ◦C högre idet vertikala fallet, beroende på belastning och kabel. 

Abstract [en]

This work examines the temperature dynamics and final temperature of conductorsin electrical installation cables, for various cases of load current. A laboratory modeland a time-stepping numerical model have been made and compared. Results arecompared with the ampacity given in installation standards, and also with theoverload levels that could be sustained by fuses and circuit breakers, followingEuropean standards.Examples of use-cases for the study’s results are cable ratings with intermittentloads, and potential overload due to heavy load combined with extra infeeds intoa circuit (e.g. plug-in solar power). The studied cables were filled and non filled 3-conductor (of which 2 loaded) PEX insulated installation cables, all with 1.5 mm2copper conductors (EQLQ 3G 1.5mm2). They were tested in open air and in a sectionof insulated cavity wall. Currents were applied from a controlled dc current source.The conductor temperature was measured by logging the voltage drop across a 10 cmlength of conductor, bearing in mind the temperature coefficient of resistance. Thismethod was verified by tests in a heating chamber.Results showed that conductors reached a maximum of 92 % of the permissibleoperating temperature (90 ◦C) at 150 % load of typical fuse-size. Combined withextra infeeds the maximum temperature reached 118 % of operating temperatureat 170 % load of typical fuse-size. The results also showed a temperature differencebetween horizontal and vertical orientations, varying from 3-10 ◦C higher in thevertical scenario, depending on load and cable
