1- HT cable or high voltage cable:
`
HT- high tension or high voltage cable is used in premises, substations etc.
HT cables is the medium of high voltage carrying from HT overhead line to substation
or premises HT panel. It can be categorized s per voltage low voltage, Medium
voltage, Extra high voltage.
2- Types of HT Cable:
High voltage cable is three type, low voltage, medium voltage and EHV- Extra high
voltage.

3- Parts of HT cable:
1- Conductor:
Two type conductor re used, copper nd aluminium in HT cable. Both conductor are
used for single core and three core.
2- Conductor Screening:
Screening are used for avoiding cavities and formation of dielectric particulars during
bending process in XLPE cable. conductor is screened with extruded semiconducting
compound
3- Insulation:
Two type insulation are used as PVC and XLPE
4- Insulation Screening:
Screening are used for avoiding cavities and formation of dielectric particulars during
bending process in XLPE cable. insulator is screened with extruded semiconducting
compound tape.
5-Inner sheathing:
Inner sheath is made with high quality PVC and it is used for protection of hard armour
steal wire.
6- Armouring:
Armouring is used for mechanical protection of HT cable.
7- Outer sheath:
Outer sheath is made with PVC or polymer and it is used for protection from
atmosphere.
