A new approach to cross-bonding in medium voltage cable lines

The medium voltage underground cable sheaths are usually bonded and earthed in every substation on the cable route. This results in additional power losses in the sheaths. The paper presents an idea of reducing power losses caused by sheaths cross-bonding. The idea of sheaths cross-connecting only in selected MV/LV substations is given instead of a typical solution, where sheaths cross-bonding requires installing additional joints on the cable route. It leads to a significant power losses reduction while investment cost remains low. Two cases are analysed in the paper: a theoretical simple radial network and a part of a real open-loop network. A significant power losses reduction was obtained in both cases.
