why insulation cost is more in underground cable than in
overhead line?

Answer Posted / sk.azhar.m

An underground line is fill in the earth and when if the leakage current will flo in the erth the current rating will very high in the cable that is very dangerous for human and other and in the the overhead line the air is not good conductor of electricity while an underground line is more insulation than overhead line for this reason the insulation cost is more in underground system

We have drive feeding an output contactor for a 5000 hp motor @ 5kV application. The motor FLA is 629amps x 1.25% service factor = 786.25 amps The cable that we current have in place between the drive and the output contactor is 350kcmil- MV-105 (parallel cables). Per the NEC table 310.60 (C) (69). This show the cable ampacity is at 615 amps per cable for a rating of 1230 amps. We have derated the cable for the cable tray and the multiple cables application and our calculations show that after the correction factor factor we are at 922amps. 1230 amps x .75% correction factor factor = 922.5 amps. The customer is driving us to then use another safety factor of .25% off of the already derated cable. Can you please provide a longhand calculation for your solution on this application?
