backfilling the cable trench with sand or gravel-pebble soil;

construction of drainage ditches or slots up to 0.6 m deep, located on both sides of the route at a distance of 2-3 m from its axis;

sowing the cable route with grasses and lining with shrubs.

Low temperature gasket

3.86. Laying cables in the cold season without preheating is allowed only in cases where the air temperature within 24 hours before the start of work has not decreased, at least temporarily, below:

0 °C - for power armored and non-armored cables with paper insulation (viscous, non-drip and lean-impregnated) in a lead or aluminum sheath;

3.87. Short-term drops in temperature within 2-3 hours (night frosts) should not be taken into account provided the temperature was positive in the previous period of time.

3.88. At air temperatures below those specified in clause 3.86, the cables must be preheated and laid within the following periods:

more than 1 hour............ from 0 to minus 10 °C

"40 min............. from minus 10 to minus 20 °C

"30 min.............from minus 20 °C and below

3.89. Unarmoured cables with an aluminum sheath in a polyvinyl chloride hose, even preheated ones, are not allowed to be laid at ambient temperatures below minus 20 °C.

3.90. When the ambient temperature is below minus 40 °C, laying cables of all brands is not allowed.

3.94. The clear distance between the coupling body and the nearest cable laid in the ground must be at least 250 mm. As a rule, couplings should not be installed on steeply inclined routes (more than 20° to the horizontal). If it is necessary to install couplings in such areas, they should be located on horizontal platforms. To ensure the possibility of re-installing couplings in the event of damage, a supply of cable in the form of a compensator must be left on both sides of the coupling (see clause 3.68).

3.95. Cables in cable structures should be laid, as a rule, without making couplings on them. If it is necessary to use couplings on cables with a voltage of 6-35 kV, each of them must be laid on a separate supporting structure and enclosed in a fire protective casing for fire localization (manufactured in accordance with approved regulatory and technical documentation). In addition, the coupling must be separated from the upper and lower cables by fireproof protective partitions with a fire resistance rating of at least 0.25 hours.

3.100. Cables with round wire armor during mechanized installation should be pulled by the wires using a special grip that ensures uniform load distribution between the armor wires. In this case, in order to avoid deformation of the lead sheath, the total tensile force should not exceed 25 kN. Unarmored cables may only be pulled by the cores using a grip mounted at the upper end of the cable on the drum. The greatest permissible tensile force is determined from the calculation: 50 MPa (N/sq.mm) - for copper conductors, 40 MPa (N/sq.mm) - for conductors made of solid aluminum and 20 MPa (N/sq.mm) - for soft aluminum cores.

Designations on tags for underground cables and cables laid in rooms with a chemically active environment should be made by stamping, punching or burning. For cables laid in other conditions, markings may be applied with indelible paint.

3.106. Tags must be secured to the cables with nylon thread or galvanized steel wire with a diameter of 1-2 mm, or plastic tape with a button. The place where the tag is attached to the cable with wire and the wire itself in damp rooms, outside buildings and in the ground must be covered with bitumen to protect it from moisture.

CURRENT CONDUCTORS WITH VOLTAGE UP TO 35 kV

Current conductors with voltage up to 1 kV (busbars)

3.107. Sections with compensators and flexible sections of the main busbar trunking must be secured to two supporting structures installed symmetrically on both sides of the flexible part of the busbar trunking section.

RULES FOR CONSTRUCTION OF ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS - SECTION 2 - SEWERAGE OF ELECTRIC POWER (Edition 7) (approved by the Ministry of Fuel and Energy of the Russian Federation) (2017) Current in 2017

Laying cable lines in the ground

2.3.83. When laying cable lines directly in the ground, the cables must be laid in trenches and have a backfill on the bottom and a layer of fine earth on top that does not contain stones, construction waste and slag.

Cables along their entire length must be protected from mechanical damage by covering them at voltages of 35 kV and above with reinforced concrete slabs with a thickness of at least 50 mm; at voltages below 35 kV - with slabs or ordinary clay bricks in one layer across the cable route; when digging a trench with an earth-moving mechanism with a cutter width of less than 250 mm, as well as for one cable - along the cable line route. The use of silicate, as well as clay hollow or perforated bricks is not allowed.

When laid at a depth of 1-1.2 m, cables of 20 kV and below (except for city power supply cables) may not be protected from mechanical damage.

Cables up to 1 kV should have such protection only in areas where mechanical damage is likely (for example, in places of frequent excavation). Asphalt surfaces of streets, etc. are considered as places where digging is carried out in rare cases. For cable lines up to 20 kV, except for lines above 1 kV supplying power receivers of category I<*>, it is allowed in trenches with no more than two cable lines to use signal plastic tapes instead of bricks that satisfy technical requirements, approved by the USSR Ministry of Energy. It is not allowed to use warning tapes at the intersections of cable lines with utility lines and above cable couplings at a distance of 2 m in each direction from the crossed utility line or coupling, as well as at the approaches of lines to switchgears and substations within a radius of 5 m.

In cases where the specified conditions cannot be met, one of the following measures is allowed: deepening the cables to 0.5 m instead of 0.7 m (see 2.3.84); use of a cable insert with a larger cross-section; laying cables under the heat pipeline in pipes at a distance of at least 0.5 m from it, while the pipes must be laid in such a way that cable replacement can be done without excavation work (for example, inserting pipe ends into chambers).

When an oil-filled cable line crosses a heat pipe, the distance between the cables and the ceiling of the heat pipe must be at least 1 m, and in cramped conditions - at least 0.5 m. In this case, the heat pipe at the intersection plus 3 m in each direction from the outermost cables must have such thermal insulation so that the ground temperature does not rise by more than 5°C at any time of the year.

2.3.97. When cable lines cross railways and highways, the cables must be laid in tunnels, blocks or pipes across the entire width of the exclusion zone at a depth of at least 1 m from the roadbed and at least 0.5 m from the bottom of drainage ditches. In the absence of an exclusion zone, the specified laying conditions must be met only at the intersection plus 2 m on both sides of the road surface.

When crossing cable lines electrified and subject to electrification on direct current<*> railways blocks and pipes must be insulating (see 2.3.90). The intersection must be at a distance of at least 10 m from the arrows, crosses and points of connection of suction cables to the rails.

The ends of blocks and pipes must be recessed with jute braided cords coated with waterproof (crumpled) clay to a depth of at least 300 mm.

When crossing dead-end industrial roads with low traffic intensity, as well as special paths (for example, on slips, etc.), cables, as a rule, should be laid directly in the ground.

When the route of cable lines crosses a newly constructed non-electrified railway or highway, relocation of existing cable lines is not required. At the intersection, reserve blocks or pipes with tightly sealed ends should be laid in the required quantity in case of cable repairs.

In the case of a transition of a cable line into an overhead line, the cable must exit to the surface at a distance of at least 3.5 m from the base of the embankment or from the edge of the canvas.

2.3.98. When cable lines cross tram tracks, the cables must be laid in insulating blocks or pipes (see 2.3.90). The intersection must be carried out at a distance of at least 3 m from the switches, crosses and points of connection of suction cables to the rails.

2.3.99. When cable lines cross vehicle entrances to courtyards, garages, etc., cables must be laid in pipes. Cables at intersections of streams and ditches should be protected in the same way.

2.3.100. When installing cable boxes on cable lines, the clear distance between the cable box body and the nearest cable must be at least 250 mm.

When laying cable lines on steeply inclined routes, installing cable couplings on them is not recommended. If it is necessary to install cable joints in such areas, horizontal platforms must be made underneath them.

To ensure the possibility of reinstalling the couplings in the event of their damage on the cable line, it is necessary to lay the cable on both sides of the couplings with a reserve.

2.3.101. If there are stray currents of dangerous quantities along the cable line route, it is necessary to:

1. Change the cable line route in order to bypass dangerous areas.

2. If it is impossible to change the route: provide measures to minimize the levels of stray currents; use cables with increased resistance to corrosion; carry out active protection of cables from the effects of electrocorrosion.

When laying cables in aggressive soils and areas with stray currents of unacceptable values, cathodic polarization must be used (installation of electrical drains, protectors, cathodic protection). For any methods of connecting electrical drainage devices, the standards for potential differences in the suction sections, provided for by SNiP 3.04.03-85 “Protection of building structures and structures from corrosion” of the State Construction Committee of Russia, must be observed. It is not recommended to use cathodic protection with external current on cables laid in saline soils or saline bodies of water.

The need to protect cable lines from corrosion should be determined based on the combined data of electrical measurements and chemical analyzes of soil samples. Protection of cable lines from corrosion should not create conditions that are dangerous for the operation of adjacent underground structures. The designed corrosion protection measures must be implemented before the new cable line is put into operation. If there are stray currents in the ground, it is necessary to install control points on cable lines in places and at distances that make it possible to determine the boundaries of dangerous zones, which is necessary for the subsequent rational selection and placement of protective equipment.

To control potentials on cable lines, it is allowed to use the places where cables exit to transformer substations, distribution points, etc.
