1 To: Mr. Dave Bryant Composite Technology Corporation 2026 McGaw Avenue Irvine, CA USA SHORT CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE TEST ON 1020 kcmil ACCC/TW CONDUCTOR FOR COMPOSITE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION Kinectrics North America Inc. Report No.: June 29, 2005 C.J. Pon Transmission and Distribution Technologies Business 1.0 INTRODUCTION A Short Circuit Test was performed on a 1020 kcmil, Aluminum Conductor, Composite Core Trapezoidal Wires (ACCC/TW) conductor for Composite Technology Corporation (CTC). The conductor consists of a single composite fiberglass/carbon fiber core covered by 2 layers of 22 annealed, trapezoidally-shaped aluminum alloy wires. The core is manufactured by CTC and the conductor is stranded by General Cable. The test was performed under CTC Purchase Order PO00668 on March 29, 2005 by Kinectrics North America Inc. personnel at 800 Kipling Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M8Z 6C4, Canada. TEST OBJECTIVE The objective of the Short Circuit Test was to observe the thermal and mechanical performance of the 1020 kcmil ACCC/TW conductor and the 795 kcmil ACSR conductor when subjected to increasing levels of short circuit energy. Possible damages to conductors due to short circuit currents are annealing and birdcaging of the aluminum strands. It was not the intent to make direct comparisons between the ACCC/TW and ACSR conductors mainly because of the differences in the construction of the aluminum wires and the current carrying cross-section. PRIVATE INFORMATION Contents of this report shall not be disclosed without authority of the client. Kinectrics North America Inc., 800 Kipling Avenue, Toronto, Ontario M8Z 6C4
2 TEST CONDUCTORS The 1020 kcmil ACCC/TW conductor has a circular area of 1020 kcmils and has 22 trapezoidally-shaped fully annealed aluminum wires stranded in two(2) layers over one(1) round fiberglass/carbon fibre composite core rod. The outside diameter of the conductor is inches (28.14 mm) and the conductor has a rated tensile strength of 41,000 lbf (32,210 kgf). The data sheet on the 1020 kcmil ACCC/TW conductor is shown in Appendix B. The 795 kcmil ACSR has a circular area of 795 kcmils and has 26 round aluminum alloy wires stranded in two(2) layers over seven(7) round galvanized steel wires. The outside diameter of the conductor is inches (28.14 mm) and the conductor has a rated tensile strength of 31,500 lbf (14,288 kgf). TEST SET-UP The Short Circuit Test was carried out at Kinectrics Indoor High Current Facility. Test Apparatus The ACCC/TW and ACSR conductor samples, shown in Figures 1a and 1b, were tensioned horizontally about 1.5 m above the ground. The ACCC/TW conductor was terminated at both ends using FCI/Burndy compression deadend clamps. These clamps are specially designed for CTC s Composite Conductor. The catalog number is YTW451REACCC. The ACSR conductor was terminated using preformed deadend clamps. The length of each test conductor was about 10 m. The conductors were electrically connected at one end by a jumper cable such that the conductors would be subjected to the same short circuit currents. The high level short circuit currents were provided by a high level current transformer. A separate low level transformer was also connected to the test span. It provided a low level current to maintain the conductor temperature at the desired starting temperature between short circuit applications. The electrical diagram for the test is shown in Figure 2. The cables of the bus from the current transformer were connected to the conductors using grounding clamps to complete the circuit. A turnbuckle was used to tension the conductors and a dynamometer was used to measure the tension. Instrumentation and Data Acquisition The temperature in the conductors was measured at two(2) locations using fast responding thermocouples. They were spaced approximately one (1) m apart and were positioned in the conductor as follows: Thermocouple #1 (for both conductors) - between two(2) Outer Layer Aluminum Alloy Wires Thermocouple #2 (for ACCC/TW) - inserted in a small hole in the Core Thermocouple #2 (for ACSR) - between 2 galvanized steel wires The thermocouples were optically isolated from other instrumentation to prevent electrical interference into the data acquisition system. 2
3 For each short circuit application, or shot, a high-speed data acquisition system recorded the short circuit current at 5000 samples/second. The thermocouple readings from the temperature sample were recorded at 500 samples/second. TEST PROGRAM The conductors were subjected to a total of six (6) short circuit applications or shots. The low level current transformer provided sufficient current to increase the initial temperature in the outer aluminum layer in the ACCC/TW and ACSR conductors to the desired level before each shot. The tension of the conductors at these initial temperatures was approximately 15% of the RTS of the conductors. This corresponded to 6,100 lbf (2,767 kgf) for the ACCC/TW conductor and 4,725 lbf (2,143 kgf) for the ACSR conductor. The conductors were subjected to increasing levels of short circuit energy, as expressed by ka 2 -sec, until physical damage, such as birdcaging or melting of the conductor or clamps, was observed. The maximum temperatures in each conductor were recorded after each shot. If necessary, the tension in the conductor was readjusted to approximately 15% RTS before each shot. The short circuit current and duration of each shot were adjusted to produce the desired energy imparted to the conductor. Each short circuit fault was applied with the maximum possible asymmetry (ie, maximum DC Offset). The conductors were visually inspected after each shot for birdcaging, melting or other damage. The temperature of the conductor was allowed to cool by natural convection to the initial temperature before proceeding with the shot. TEST RESULTS Six(6) shots were applied to the conductors corresponding to Test No to Test No The energy levels for the shots were 542 ka 2 sec, 786 ka 2 sec, 1023 ka 2 sec, 1268 ka 2 sec, 1525 ka 2 sec and 1520 ka 2 sec. These levels were arbitrarily selected. The short circuit currents ranged from 38.1 ka rms to 38.4 ka rms. The duration of the shots ranged from 349 milliseconds to 1018 milliseconds. The data for the shots are summarized in Table 1. The data sheet for shot is missing. The temperature in aluminum wires and core vs. short circuit energy for the conductors are plotted on the graphs in Figures 3 and 4. The data sheets for each shot are shown in Appendix A. These sheets show the short circuit waveform and the temperatures of the outer aluminum wires and core for the ACCC/TW and ACSR conductors. The actual initial temperature of the outer aluminum wires on the ACCC/TW conductor before each shot ranged from 89 C to 121 C. The average initial temperature for the six(6) shots was 107 C. The actual initial temperature of the outer aluminum wires on the ACSR conductor before each shot ranged from 147 C to 171 C. The average initial temperature for the six(6) shots was 157 C. Although the same low level current was circulating through each conductor, the initial conductor of the ACCC/TW conductor was lower than the ACSR conductor because it has greater aluminum cross-section. For the ACCC/TW conductor, the maximum temperature rise in the aluminum wires above the average initial temperature ranged from 27 C for the 542 ka 2 sec shot to 97 C for the
4 ka 2 sec shot. The corresponding maximum temperatures were 134 C for the 542 ka 2 sec shot and 204 C for the 1525 ka 2 sec shot. The maximum temperature rise in the core above the average initial temperature ranged from 1 C for the 542 ka 2 sec shot to 27 C for the 1525 ka 2 sec shot. The corresponding maximum temperatures were 52 C for the 542 ka 2 sec shot and 78 C for the 1525 ka 2 sec shot. The temperature of the core when the aluminum temperature was maximum ranged from 51 C for the 542 ka 2 sec shot to 55 C for the 1525 ka 2 sec shot. For the ACSR conductor, the maximum temperature rise in the aluminum wires above the average initial temperature ranged from 35 C for the 542 ka 2 sec shot to 158 C for the 1520 ka 2 sec shot. The corresponding maximum temperatures were 192 C for the 542 ka 2 sec shot and 315 C for the 1520 ka 2 sec shot. The maximum temperature rise in the core above the average initial temperature ranged from 11 C for the 542 ka 2 sec shot to 28 C for the 1520 ka 2 sec shot. The corresponding maximum temperatures were 174 C for the 542 ka 2 sec shot and 235 C for the 1520 ka 2 sec shot. The temperature of the core when the aluminum temperature was maximum ranged from 159 C for the 542 ka 2 sec shot to 176 C for the 1520 ka 2 sec shot. KEY OBSERVATIONS ON 1020 ACCC/TW CONDUCTOR 1) The maximum temperature of the core of the 1020 kcmil ACCC/TW conductor measured during the test was 78 C. This occurred at a short circuit level of 1525 ka 2 sec with an initial outer aluminum wire temperature of 107 C. 2) The maximum temperature of the outer aluminum wires of the 1020 kcmil ACCC/TW conductor measured during the test was 204 C.
