1) Can anyone give me a typical value for Insulation
Resistance of 11kV xlpe cable?

2) How much will the IR value decrease per KM of cable
length added?

Answer Posted / 7anoter4

According to UL-1072 ch.57.5 insulation resistance of an
insulated conductor will be:
R=1000*K*log10(D/d)/L
D=insulated core diameter d=conductor diameter. L=cable
length.
The minimum permissible insulation resistance will be:
K=20000 Mohm/1000 ft. then L=cable length in ft. or K=6100
Mohm/km then L will be in m.
Let's say we have a 1*240 sqr.mm copper conductor 11 kV
XLPE insulated cable.
According to IEC 60502-2 [BS6622] insulation thickness=3.4
mm.
The conductor diameter is about 20 mm.
Then D=20+3.4*2=[approx.]27 mm.
R=1000*6100*log10(27/20)/m=7.95*10^5 Mohm/m or 795 Mohm/km.

generally in LT and MV motors we are using 3.5Coresx16,25,35,50 etc cable for supply.although motors is earthed at two point and having all protection.then why we are using that 1/2 core for earthing the motors.while in HT cable we are using only 3core cable for motor supply.generally lt and mv motors are delta connected and ht motors having star connection.whethere it is having any relation with winding connection( star or delta).all motors i am talking about are dol only.can anybody solve my confusion.thanks...
