Abstract

Medium-voltage power cables for modern petrochemical plants are considered. Test requirements, both at the factory and in the field, are considered to ensure that high-quality cable is manufactured and installed without damage. Cable technology changes and specifications are discussed. A new approach using life-cycle costs, which is making inroads in the petrochemical industry is described. The supplier partnership process for obtaining quality cable is discussed. Economic factors for the selection of power cables are detailed. It is argued that implementation of these programs will increase product performance and reliability, resulting in the lowest evaluated total cost of cable system ownership.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
