CHAPTER B 1 1 Summary
Summary
T he technical standai-ds of the General Requirements of Electric Power Technical Standards

(GREPTS) and the Specific Requirements of Electric Power Technical Standards (SIIEPTS) have
been issued by the Ministry of Industry Mines and Energy (MIME). Thcse standa~dsregulate new
technical requirements about the installation and maintenance of the electric facilities. In ordcr to comply
with this regulation, some parts of EDC technical standards are revised. In addition, the new technologies
and new equipments have been introduced to the EDC distribution design. In the revised version, some new
technoIogies and equipments specialized to EDC are also introduced.
The main topics of the revising standard are following.
- Compliance of SREPTS.
- Newly introduced faculties and equipments
This chapter is introduced in order to describe the common topics used in whole chapters. These topics are
the definition of technical terms; routing of distribution line, span length; and the works space. And also, the
~
chapter independent topics such as clearances and groundings are described in this chapter.

3) Routing of the distribution line :

(a) Distribution overhead line shall be routed on the following place. Here, not only the cost and running
merit but also the prevention of complementary construction should be considered by grasping the f u h e
trend of the land use.
- Overhead line should be routed along the road, but not above the building structure or the
building constructing site
- The route in which the whole line length is able to be shortened
- The route which the crossing points over the railway, track or the other overhead lines are able to
be reduced. If the crossing point has to be occurred, the crossing should be formed in
perpendicular as much as possible
(b) Electrical overhead line shall not be routed on the following place.
- Temple, grave, garden, natural treasure, historic site, the place of scenic beauty, forest reserve
- Mountainous or swampy area where the people are difficult to approach
- The place where the landslide or flood is frequently occurred
- The place where explosive substance is preserved, the corrosive gas is frequently occurred, and
the swampy area which includes much salty soil.
- The place which is specified by the law as the area of steep slope landslide
(c) Electrical overhead line should be as straight as the land shape can allow, and the elevation of the line
should be little difference of the height.
(d) The location of installing pole is shown in Chapter 2 - Selection ofpole instaIIing location,
4) Standard Span:
The standard span is shown in the following table. Here, the span length should be decided by considering
the shape and situation of land where the distribution line is installed.

6) Workspace allocatio~~
:
Along the surface on the pole, the speclfic space to climb and work (called workspace) should be allocate^
for worker's safety. In the workspace, any electrical equipment is not to be ~nstalledbecause it will be th
obstacle for climbing and working on the pole. Such equiptnents are the conductor, transformer, switch, gu
service line, advertising board, and comnlunication line equipment.
(a) Workspace is generally allocated within the height from the ground level to the level under 0.5m of th
top ann. If the workspace is not able to be allocated vertically, the workspace is shift to the horizontz
direction, and overlapped length of both workspaces is set to >= 1.51n.

7) Authorizations :
Administrative authorizations and authorizations for passage must be obtained before work begins.
8) Network construction :
Network construction shall comply with the directives described in this document as well as the
implementation manuals of each piece of equipment. More particularly, attention will be paid to cable
paying-out, to the construction of accessories (in particular junction boxes) and to compliance with
installation parameters for overhead lines.
9) Network mapping :
For overhead networks, the prime contractor will submit to EDC the drawings supplied initially while
specifying any modifications that have been made during the perfomlance of the work. The position and
effort upon each support must be indicated.
For underground networks, the prime contractor shall submit to EDC drawings accurate to within 1/500,

he medium voltage electrical networks have suffered a great deal from a lack of maintenance over th
last twenty years. Up to 1996, there were three voltage levels at Phnom Penh: 4.4 kV, 6.3 kV and 1
kV. In the provinces, only the chief towns had an MV network, generally at 6.3 kV.
reconstructed thanks to a variety of financing sources, and then entirely updated to 22kV.
For the provinces, the Sihanoukville and Siem Reap networks were also covered by the projects that we
completed in 1998. At present time, EDC manages 12 provinces and 2 municipalities. Most of EDC
distribution networks are of 22kV.
The purpose of this memo is to detail the technology that EDC desires for the construction of MV netwo
It can be supplied as reference to the various prime contractors.
The main options chosen are the following :
- electrical technical studies by EDC,

- standardizing of the voltage to 22 kV for new networks,
- standardizing of 70, 150 and 240 mm2 aluminum section for underground lines,
- standardizing of 70, 150 and 240 mm2 AAC sections for bare overhead lines,
- generalization of underground lines in the city center.
Revised Version
the Specific Requirements of Electric Power Technical Standards (SREPTS) ha\:e been issued by
specialized to EDC are also introduced to the new standard.

I ) Scope of this Clzupter :
This chapter is applied to the MV networks which are constructed for the EDC distribution line.
2) Network electrical studies:
In order to maintain knowledge and control of the network, EDC will cany out studies for the dimensioning
of the MV networks. The methodology to be used must be based on the surveys and studies already carried
out and grouped together in Chapter C2 /MVnehvorkstudies
Subsequent to these studies, EDC will submit to the prime coctractar a file including at least:
- a drawing of the existing MV networks where the kind of network (underground or

overhead) and sections of the conductors appear,
- a drawing of the existing MV networks to be constructed where the kind of network
(underground or overhead) and sections of the conductors appear,
- if necessary, an operating diagram with a different color per MV feeder.
3) Mechanical line calculations:
For overhead networks, the prime contractor himself will camy out line caIculations to define the effects on
the poles, the intervals between conductors, the position of the line ends, the line adjustments, etc.
Calculations will take the following parameters into consideration:

CHAPTER B2 1 MV underground networks
1) Preliminary steps :
After obtaining administrative authorizations, the prime contractor must question the various users of the
subsoil about the presence or absence of piping on the layout. All precautions must be taken to work safely
and avoid damage to existing conduits (de-energizing of existing cables and operation without mechanical
machines, for instance).
2) Cables of underground networks :

For the installation of underground cable, MV twisted cable is recommended to install for the underground
networks. MV three core underground cable takes longer time to repair when the electric fault occurred, but
it has strength more than MV twisted cable when civil worker dig the road with metal rod or mattock.
3) Trenching :
When the layout is via hardtop or concreted areas, the surface coating must be cut with a disk cutter suitable
for the purpose, or with a jack hammer.
Trenching will generally use mechanical machinery. However, when pipes are indicated as being present, it
is necessary to work by hand (shovel and pick).
SectionaZ view of trench
Version 1.2
After filling, the trench must be compacted. The surface will be finished according to the appropriate 1.0,
surface directives.
In case of direct burial system, the depth of trenching depends is set to 1.2 m or illore for the place which h;
a danger of receiving pressure from vehicles or other object. For the other place. setting depth is 0.6 m I
more. Here, other place includes the side walk of a road and the road where no ehicles pass.

4) Neighborhood with other cables :
The distance to be allowed between two MV cables, or between one MV cable and one LV cable (in case i
crossing or parallelism), is 0.30 m. In case of parallelism, the trench must be widened by 0.30 m for eac
additional cable.
The distance to be allowed between two LV cables (m case of crossing or parallelism), is 0.i5m. In case I
parallelism, the trench must be widened by 0.20 m for each additional LV cable.

5) Use of pipes :
For major roads crossings, or when a depth of shown in 3) Trenching cannot be obtained, the cable will be
paced in a plastic (or steel) conduit to provide additional mechanical protection and allow repairs without
opening the road at this point. Other pipes can be placed in reserve.
The use of pipes will also decrease the width of the trench because the pipes can be placed one against
another.
However, the use of pipes should not be generalized for at least three different reasons :
- the pipes are costly,

- cables cool less efficiently,
- it is more difficult to find cable faults.
6) Cable laying :
Any subsequent action on an underground cable is a difficult and costly task. Therefore, on laying and
making up of cable accessories, great attention is necessary. Be sure not to damage the cable when laying it,
and to comply with the curve radius (in general, 20 times the outside diameter of the cable). Pull by hand as
indicated in the diagram below, while continuously and progressively pulling. When a pulling rope is used,
connection with the cable must be by a pulling grip.

7) Accessories firting :
The waiting cable (even for a short period) must be coated to avoid water infiltration. The junction boxer
and the terminal boxes must be installed with great care and by professional staff.
The cable screen will be connected to the ground with a copper strap or a copper braid, and if necessary
attached to one (or several) ground stakes.

2) Choice of poles :
Version. 1.2
CHAPTER B2 / M I ? overhead networks
The characteristics of the supports will be defined by calculations and will be chosen from the following
range:
Concrete pole table

I
For greater sirengths, double poles must be used. In this case, two poles will be placed next to each other
and secured at the base by the foundation, and at the top by bolts.
The poles must be installed at least two days before the cable is installed to ensure that the foundation is
truly stable. The instdlation depth shall be 1/6 of overall length or more (SREPTS Article 39 Table 19B).
The foundation block will be concrete cast in an excavated hole.
There are three types of pole depending on the application.

3) Selection ofpole location:

The pole location is selected as follows. Here, not only the following instructions but alsothe prevention of
the complementa~construction should be considered.
(a) Pole location
- In case of road; if the road has a sidewalk, the pole location should be at the edge of the sidewalk
Version 1.2 17,l
CHAPTER B2 / MV overhead networks
opposite the vehicle way. If the road has no sidewalk, the pole location should be at the edge of
center of the road. When the pole is installed in the national road, pole should be located at least 25m
apart from the road. However, if the road administrator indicates the installing place, the location
complies with the indication.
- The pole should be located not to disturb the existing buried objects such as gas line, water and
swage line, communication line.
- If the pole has the curved point, branched point, anchored point, and if the guy is needed, the pole
location should be considered in order to let guy installed easily.
(b) Not recommended location

Following place should be avoided for the pole location.
- At the place where the pole disturbs traffic such as the entrance ofbuilding structure, in &ont of the
garage, the entrance of alley.
- At the place where the pole will be damaged by the car traffic.
- At the place where the pole will be obstacle for the visibility of the road traffic signs
- In the slope which is extremely steep
- The customer's compound, or the place which is difficult to enter the compound for maintenance
- At the place where is water spring and where the ground is soft soil
- Crumbly ground such as the groundwater path in the mountainous area.
(c) If the related law indicates about the location of the pole, the installing location complies with the law
such as road law, river low.
4) Reinforcement of the pole by foundation block:

For ever?; pole installation, the soil condition has to be considered to obtain the enough strength of
foundation.
(a) Classification of soil

The classification of soil is shown in following table.
Classification of soil (SREPTSArtcle39Table ES39H)
(b) Reinforcement by foundation block

The foundation block shall be installed under the condition that the safety factor of foundation is not
satisfied. The material of foundation block shall be concrete.
If the soil is extremely soft, the piles shall be installed under the concrete base at the bottom of the
pole. Here, the material of piles shall be made of the concrete.

The anchor points will bc used at the ends of the line when angles are greater than 27 degrees to limit any
damage in the event of an incident. Anchoring must use a pole dimensioned for the phpose. The anchor
cross arm will be chosen according to the forces to be supported and the desired intervals between
conductors.
The suspension insulator consists of two suspended toughened glass or porcelain or polymer insulators.
The conductor is attached to the suspension insulator by means of an anchor sleeve. Instead of the anchor
sleeve, prefonned tie for dead end is able be used. In this case, the conductor is attached by the equipments
of preformed tie, thimble cle\.is, clevis ball, nut tie and eyebolt. Polymer insulator is also attached by
preformed tie for dead end.
(a) porcelain insulator with preformed tie for dead end
(b) porcelain insulator with clamp
(c) polymer insulator with prefom~edtie for dead end

CHAPTER B2 I MV overhead networks
Sinale MV anchor point
When a double anchor point is used on the same pole, it is preferable not to attach the anchor cross-arms
together. For the center phase (or all phases), it is advisable to maintain the bridge away from the pole by
means of a chain of insulators.
Double MV anchor point
12) Alignment method :
(a) Alignments or acute angles of less than 27 degree
Alignments or acute angles of less than 27 degrees are obtained by a horizontal cross arm with pin
toughened glass or porcelain insulators. Each conductor will be attached solidly to the insulator.

(b) Angle of inore then 5 degrees up to 60 degrees

When angle of overhead line becomes more than 5 degrees up to 60 degrees, it can be installed by rack
Version 1.2 23,l
13) Cortnection with underground MVi~efrvork:
Connection to the underground MV network is by means of an underground-overhead rising section. A

metal channel protects the cable from the ground to a height of 2 meters. The underground cable terminates
in an end box. Aluminum bridges (same section as line) provide connection between the cable and the
overhead line. The connection between the bridges and the cable is by means of aluminum terminals bolted
onto the end of the lightning arrester. The bridges are connected to the line by ring connectors.
Double end compression is used instead of aluminum bridges
The lightning arresters are set out to minimize atmospheric oven-oltages on the equipment. They are
attached to the pole by a galvanized steel bracket.
All of the grounds are interconnected and connected to the groundins system by a copper strap and one (or
several) ground stakes.

-the place where the cica::!tce is difficult to obtain such as the intersection of road, or the short
distance to the building structure.
-the place where the cost merit occurs in comparison with other installation method.
(a) Cable spacer arrangement

The span length between poles should not be long. Sag should be not to exceed the design strength
of the pole. The messenger wire to be used is the steel stranded wire, which shall be grounded.

18) Tension line adjustment :
It will necessary to readjust the mechanical tension in order to install a deadend clamp (or preform tie) and
correctly tension the line. The pull on the conductor is defined by the mechanical calculation of the line and
must be tested using a torque wrench. Tension shall not exceed the design strength of insulator or arm.Sags
of the overhead line should be calculated and confirmed that clearance above the ground is enough between
the poles.

19) Overhead MVs~vitch:
Overhead switches can be placed on a main line or on a spur line. A control lever makes it possible to
operate the switch by hand from the foot of the pole. The mechanism can be padlocked open or closed. All
the ground points will be interconnected and connected to the system ground by a copper strap and one or
several ground stakes. Suspension insulator must be separated by means of extension rods at least as far as
the vertical of the equipment chassis.

Three models cover requirements: 200,400 or 630 A breaking capacity.
Overhead switches on the main lines will have a breaking capacity of 630 A or 400 A for high power lines.
Along one feeder, the number of switches depends on load and reliablity.
For the spur lines, in general, a single overhead switch will be placed at the head of the tee off and the
breaking capacity of these switches will be 200 A or 400 A, depending on the power demand on the branch
line.
Overhead switches must be placed in easily accessible places (along the road or path).
The pole supporting the overhead switch must not include any overhead-underground links or any overhead
tee off points.
The characteristics of the pole and its orientation will be determined according to the expected constraints
applied to the pole. A supplemental force shall he calculated.

Summary
M ost old distribution substations used very old and disparate technologies. The majority of these
substations were outdated and dangerous and many projects were aimed at their refurbishing.
In addition, the increasing demand for eIectricity and the extension of electrification call for the
construction of new substations (surveys to be carried out with PANTER BT). This work is now
accomplished using a 22 kV three-phase technique, if necessary provisionally operated at 15 kV.
The purpose of this note is to describe in detail the typical equipment that EDC requires for pole-mounted
distribution substations. It could be supplied as a reference for the various prime contractors.
The main options selected are the following:
- pole mounted transformer reserved for outside of the cities

- a 22 kV1400 V transformer (or a 22-15 kV1400 v dual-voltage unit), rated at 25, 50, 100, 160,
200,250 and 400
- a pole-mounted circuit breaker for the 25,50, 100, or 160 kVA substations
- for the 200,250 or 400 kVA substations;

an LV 800A panel provided with four feeders and fuse protection
+ a general electronic meter for recording over two periods of time (daylnight) the active
energy, reactive energy and the maximum power reached (integration 10 or 15 minutes).
The transformers must be protected by MV fuse switches also providing the isolation and de-energizing of
the transformer. The equipment will be protected from atmospheric over voltage by MV lightning
arresters.

/ General I
1) Ownership of installations :
The pole mounted substations belong to EDC, no matter how many customers are supplied with power by
the substation; and its financing mode at the time of consbuction. Accordingly, EDC assumes
responsibility and provides for maintenance.
2) Substation accessibili@ :
The substation must be located along a public road and comply with the current urban planning rules.
Access must be available to the substation at all times, and directly from the public road.
Access to the pole maneuvering and climbing devices is reserved strictly for the EDC authorized
personnel.
3) Position in network :
The use of pole-mounted substations is prohibited in built-up areas.
The substation should be connected on spur line but not on the main feeder.
4) MV connections :
MV connections of lightning arresters, hsed isolating switches and transformers will use 35 mm2 AAC
bridges.
Connections will be made to the overhead line by ring connectors or PG clamp providing for rapid
manipulation (possibility of working at a distance using operating pole).
Connections to the transformer will be by aluminurnlcopper terminals at the lightning arresters and at the
fuse switches by aluminum terminals.
Version 1.2
5) MVYL V transformer :
The rated power is standardized at 25, 50, 100, 160, 200, 250 or 400 kVA for 3phase, 25, 50 for single
phase, or 15 kVA for SWER. The transformer of 315 kVA and 630 kVA should not be installed for new
construction. If the transformer of 400 kVA is overloaded, it should be implemented to divide the load

line to the transformer uses 35 mrn2 AAC conductor. The transformers will be 22 kV voltage. The
transformer primary winding shall have out of voltage tap changing facilities.
MV FUSES SELECTION @IN standard)
-- The secondary voltage is set at 2301400 V.
The use of oil containing PCB (Polychlorinated biphenyl) is strictly prohibited.

-
- 6) Grounding:
To ensure the safety of materials and persons, it is essential to place the greatest importance on grounding.
Accordingly, solid grounding at the substation is required, and a value of less than 1 ohm should be
obtained. In no case should this value exceed 30 ohms. Therefore, it is essential to measure the value to
define it.
In general, grounding is accomplished by a 16 mrn2 copper strap connected to one or several nested
ground stakes. All the metal ground points of the equipment (LV panel chassis, transformer tank,
measurement transformer ground terminals, fittings and crosspieces, etc.) will be connected to this strap.
-. The LV neutral is connected to the strap if the ground connection is less than 1 ohm. Otherwise the LV
neutral is not connected to the substation ground but to a pole or to an emerging point-%&:itsst25 m from
the substation. At this point, the ground will be obtained by one or several nested ground stakes. The
Version 1.2 5,1
ground connecting value for the LV n a : ! a1 shall be less than 60 ohms. ,
The neutral of low voltage side MVLV transfonner shall be satisfied with Class B grounding.
7) Safety rules:
The safety rules when working on medium-voltage installations shall be complied with to the letter. It is
important to note:
- that live work on this categoxy of installation is strictly prohibited.

All persons requiring to
work on these installations must therefore request of EDC isolation from the network and
obtain a certificate of de-energizing,
- that the operation of the MV equipment (in particular the fuse switch) shall be carried out by
qualified pexsonnel provided with personal protection (helmet, MV gloves, anti-UV goggles,
spark-resistant clothing with long sleeves) and an approved and regularly inspected operating
pole
- finally, the fuse switch can be operated live but off-load i.e. solely after the opening of the main
LV switch (or circuit breaker) placed downstream the transformer.

CHAPTER B3 1 25 to 160 kVA pole mounted substation
For single phase transformers are generally applicable in the remote areas or provinces of Cambodia.
Grounding System:
There are three types of grounding system must be installed on the PMT such as;
1 - The grounding system for protection of the lightning arrestor
2 - The grounding system for the tank of transfonner and MV accessories.
3 -The grounding system for the neutral of transformer.
-
The uses of 35 mm2 PVC Copper for neutral of transformer, 16 mm2 PVC Copper for protection
of the lightning arrestor and the tank of transformer and MV accessories grounding earth are the
connected wire to the first electrode. -
2) Choice ofpole :
The stress on the pole shall be more than 5 kN. In general, use a 12 m 6 kN pole to support transformers
which are the capacity from 100 to 160 kVA. However, the choice of the poles to install and support ' -
transformer should be checked during the mechanical calculation of the line loading.
On the other hand, in the case of applicable in Cambodia right now, in order to construct
supporting structures followed by the GREPTS and SREPTS it's necessary to know clearly about the
direction of planning to construct the systems. There are many formulas that needed to use in the work to
establish the overhead systems.
3) L V circuit breaker :
The LV link from the transformer to the LV circuit breaker consists of insulated aluminum cable (see the
table 1113) LV Panel).
The circuit breaker has a load integrator simulating the operation of the transformer. Tripping is not
accomplished when the current threshold is exceeded but when the transformer is liable to be on a thermal
overload. This system optimizes the transformer power while avoiding inadvertent tripping due to
provisional overcurrent or to an unbalance between phases.
Tripping is indicated by an indicator that is clearly visible from the ground. A padlockable control makes
it possible to operate the circuit breaker from the ground.
4) LV networks :
One or two LV feeders may be connected beneath the LV circuit breaker.

2) Choice ofpoles :
The stress on the poles shall be no less than 10 kN. In general, 12 m 10 kN poles will be used, if
necessary set at two different depths. However, check this choice during the mechanical calculation of the
line loading.
3) L Vpanel :
The LV link from the transformer to the LV panel consists of aluminum insulated cables.
The LV panel is the interface between the MVILV transformer and the LV networks. It plays an essential
role in the protection and separation of the installations. At the head, it must include a general switch
capable of opening under load. Then, it consists of four 400 A three-phase + neutral feeders. Each feeder
comprises three HRC 125,250 A or 400 A fuses and a neutral isolating bar.
In addition to these four LV feeders, the panel has a padlockable four-pole fuse holder (three-phase +
neutral, size 22 x 58 mm), designed from the substation general meter voltage circuit.
This LV panel uses the same accessories (feeder, reservation panel, locking out panel, HRC fuses, etc.) as
the LV panels used in the substation.
The transformer is connected to the LV Panel by single core aluminum cable in the length of
approximately I 2 rtzeters as displayed in table below,

The LV feeders may be overhead or underground. At the most, two overhead feeders are permitted on the
same pole. Ensure that the LV overhead cables do not hinder access to the MV equipment when the need
arises.

IV Genera/ metering
P ole mounted substations rated at less than 200 kVA are protected by a circuit breaker and do not
include general metering.
For power levels equal to or greater than 200 kVA, the general meter system is shown below and the
specifications of the equipment used are given in Chapter B8 /LVmetering and circuit breakers.
The maximum power demand measurement is usehl in monitoring the load of the transformer against its
rating. The CT's are placed to the connection between the transformer and the LV panel. Voltages are
taken fiom the three poles + neutral fuse holder on the LV panel. The phases include 16 A fuse cartridges
and the neutral includes a metal cartridge.

CHAPTER B4 / Summary
Summary
M ost old distribution substations used very old and disparate technologies. The majority of these
substations were outdated and dangerous and many projects were aimed at their refurbishing.
In addition, the increasing demand for electricity and the extension of electrification call for the
construction of new substations (surveys to be carried out with PANTER BT). This work is now
accomplished using a 22 kV three-phase technique, if necessary provisionally operated at 15 kV.
The purpose of this note is to describe in detail the typical equipment that EDC requires for distribution
substations. It could be supplied as a reference for the various prime contractors.
For city / town 1 applicable area, the main options are the following:
- only indoor substations inside of the city,

- preferably, rooms integrated into new constructions made available by the developer,
- cut-off c o ~ e c t i o nto feeder with input cubicle (motorized), output cubicle (motorized)
and transformer protection cubicle with fuses or circuit breaker,
- 22kV/400V 400,630,1000,1250 or 1600kVAtransformer,
- general electronic meter capable of recording in two time periods (dayhight), active
e n e r a reactive energy and maximum power (interrogation 10 or 15 minutes),
- one LV 1,600 A panel with 8 feeders and fuse protection,
- if necessary, capacitors banks to improve the power factor, with automatic power factor
correction.
- if necessary, MV cubicles remote control (for instance, one substation out of three)
combined with fault changeover detectors.
Normally, these substations are fed from two directions, but space reservations are made for subsequent
extension of the MV panel. In urban areas where consumption is dense, it might well be worth placing
two transfonners in the same substation. This alternative is described in the directive.
Finally, some substations may represent very specific cases and will be evaluated one by one.
Pole mounted substations shall be used only outside of the city. The specifications are described in
Chapter B3 /Pole mounted distribuiion substations.

Version 1.2
1) Property rriles :
Substations are often in specific buildings distant from other constructions. Some substations are adjacent
to other buildings. More rarely, they are part of another framework (building or administration).
For existing substations, the property rules are not always clear, but it seeins that in most cases, the land,
the civil engineering of the substation and the intemal equipment belong to EDC.
In the future, for aesthetic and economic reasons, it is preferable to allow integration and provision of the
room intended to accommodate the MVILV substation. Accordingly, urban planning rules will enable
EDC to impose the provision of a room in any new conshuction exceeding a certain size.
Jn this case, the developer remains owner of the floor and walls and responsible for its upkeep. EDC
owns the intemal equipment. A free provision contract will be signed between EDC and the developer.
The contract duration will correspond to the life duration of the building.
The substation must be clearly identified by a sign indicating the number, attached solidly to the outside
of the door.
2) Civil engineering :
When the room to accommodate an W I L V substation is made available, EDC will supply a typical
drawing to the architect. The architect must submit the detailed drawing for approval to EDC before the
work begins. It will be essential to be strict regarding questions of access, safety and ventilation. A few
common sense rules should be applied:
- the substation must not be on an upper floor, nor buried,

- a slight raising is necessary to keep it clear of flooding, ,
- access must be directly from the public road,
- there must be no bedrooms directly above the substations (the occupants could be
bothered by the noise of the transformer),
-particular attention must be paid to problems of sealing and ventilation.
3) Substation access :
The substation must be located along the public road and comply with the current urban planning mles.
All electrical conduits must be placed between the right of way of the public road and the entry to the
substation. Access into the substation must be possible at all times and directly froin the public road.
Access to the inside of the substation is strictly reserved for EDC authorized personnel.
Version 1.2
4)Safetyregulations :
Safety regulations for work on the medium voltage installations shall be complied with to the letter. It
should be noted that:
- live work on this category of installation is strictly prohibited.

Any persons wishing to
operate on such installations must ask EDC for a isolation from the network and
certification of de-energizing,
- operation of M V equipment (in particular MV switchgear) must be accomplished by

qualified personnel equipped with personal protection (helmet, MV gloves, anti-UV
goggles, spark-resisting clothing, long sleeves, insulating stools or mats).
Version 1.2
CHAPTER B4 / Electrical equipment

11 Electrid equipment
In general, the substation is supplied from an underground network and is cut-off connected to the MV
panel. The standard MV panel has two network interrupting cubicles and one cubicle for transformer
protection. If substation has only two directions, MV panel uses Ring Main Unit technology. Otherwise
modular cubicles are used.
The transformer protection cubicle is equipped with MV fuses or with circuit breaker. MV fuse protection
is for the transformer power less than 1000kVA. The fuses shall be HRC type, meeting DIN standards.
The fragility of the MV fuses means that they must be kept in their original pack away from impact, and
the three fuses replaced systematically in the event of an incident (even if only a single fuse appears to be
damaged). The choice of rating is to be made according to the following table:
FUSE RATING DINSfandard (no overload, -25oC< t 4 0 o C )

Version 1.2 61
CHAPTER I34 / Electrical equipment
An 0.80 m clearance in fiont of each unit must be allowed for safe operation.
All the MV equipment (cubicles and cables) must be designed for 22 kV.
On either side of the panel, there is a location (referred to as the reserve) for extension. In general, the
cubicles are 500 mm or 375 mm wide.
2) M V 4 V transformer :
The transformer can be prone to failure and special safety measures are needed. In order not to hinder exit
in an emergency, it will be located away &om the door, preferably at the back of the substation. It will be
placed over a pit so that the oil can be recovered in the event of leakage. The pit must not connect with
any pits or gutters to prevent the oil from spreading and igniting the entire substation if fire breaks out.
The transformers will be 22 kV units. The secondary voltage will be set at 2301400 V. Rating will be
standardized at 400, 630, 1000, 1250, 1600kVA. The MV link of the transformer protection cubicle will
consist of single core 70 m d aluminum cable.
The use of oil containing PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) is strictly prohibited.
In the city, load density and the difficulty of finding locations sometimes mean that two transformers are
installed in the same substation.
The transformer is connected to the LV panel by using 240rnm2 Copper.
Group Reduction Factor, where there are more than one circuit installations close together, as shown shall
be applied.

CHOICE OF TR4NSFORMER ?,LVPANEL COI\'NECTION
The LV panel is the interface between the MVILV transformer and the LV networks. It plays an essential
part in protecting and separating the installations. It must include a main switch on the incomer, capable
of opening under load. Then, it has up to eight 400 A three-phase + neutral feeders. Each feeder has
three HRC 250 A or 400 A fuses and one neutral isolating bar.
In addition to the eight LV feeders, the panel is equipped with:
- a 32 A @hase + neutral) moulded compact circuit breaker (MCCB) intended for

accessories (lighting of substation, power outlets, remote control unit).
- a padlockable multi-pole fuse-holder (three-phase + neutral, size 22 x 58 rnm) intended

for the voltage circuit of the substation general meter system.
4) Capacitor bank :
For substations having a poor power factor (for instance coscp < 0.8), it is possible to install a bank of LV
three-phase capacitors. The system is supplied in a metal cabinet containing all the components. The
cabinet is CO~ecteddirectly across the transformer LV terminals by a 240 mm2 aluminium single-phase
cable for each phase. It includes several banks engaged gradually according to power factor requirements.
The banks are controlled by an electronic controller to maintain a predefined minimum power factor. It is
recommended that the capacitor banks ccrrect the power factor automatically.
5) Accessories :
The substation lighting must be controlled by a switch located near each entrance door. A 230 V wall-
mounted power outlet is also placed near each door.

T he substation building must meet the requirements of the environment. Obviously, it must comply
with urban planning mles and building permits must be obtained.
The substation must be entirely of solid construction (wall, floor and ceiling of concrete) to resist bad
weather. Accordingly, great attention must be paid to problems of waterproofing the roof and to risks of
flooding during heavy rain. The substation must have low ventilation and high ventilation (minimum 1
m2each air passage). Vents must be protected from rain and provided with wire netting to prevent the
ingress of animals.
Installation of wooden wall is prohibited for prevention of fires. Fence or walls to separate outside from
inside the MV equipments shall be installed to prevented third persons from entering the compound.
Signs to aler&third persons to danger shall be installed at the entranceslexits. Locking devices or other
appropriate devices shall be installed at the entranceslexits. Contact phone number to EDC shall be
displayed on the door of the substation in case of emergency.
In the event of fire, the fire shall not be allowed to spread outside of the substation in less than two hours.
To ensure proper ventilation, the internal height shall be at least 3.50 m.
Doors will be of steel, opening outward and height will be 2.00 m. The left-hand door may be locked in
the closed position and the right-hand door used customarily must be provided with means for padlocking.
To make provision for future extension, the civil engineering of the substations for public distribution will
always be designed for 500 mm wide cubicles.

CHAPTER B41 Grounding
-
I V Grounding
T o ensure the safety of goods and personnel, it is essential to place great importance on proper
grounding. Accordingly, solid grounding is necessary at the substation, with a value of less than
one Ohm if possible. In no case must it exceed 10 Ohms. Therefore, it is imperative to measure
and ensure that the value is acceptable.
Generally, grounding is by a 35mm2 copper cable placed in the earth under the foundations forming the
outside perimeter of the substation. One end of this cable is connected to the reinforcement of the slab
and the other end is visible in the substation and connected to the ground down-line (described below),
using a C connector (see technical specifications).
From this terminal, another 3 5 d copper cable is attached against the wall (height approximately 30 an)
around the entire substation. This cable is the ground connector point. All the metal grounds of the
equipment (switchgear cubicles, LV panel chassis, transformer tank, ground terminals of measurement
transformers, cable trays, internal netting, etc.) are connected to this collector. Only the parts accessible
from the outside (outside doors and ventilation grills) are not to be grounded.
PROTECTIVE EARTHING CONDUCTORS FOR TRANSFORMER
The MV cable screen is to be connected to the ground collector via the circuit provided for the purpose in
the MV cubicles.
Version 1.2
CHAPTER B4/Grounding
Finally, the LV neutral is connected to the ground collector if the ground impedance is less than 1 Ohm.
Othenvise, the LV neutral is not connected to the grcuxd i~ the si!bst&on but to a pole or to a protruding
point at least 25 m from the substation. At this point, the ground point will be conllected by one or
seve~alinserted ground stakes. In this case the ground impedance point value for the LV neutral sllall be
less than 30 Olms. -
The neutral of low voltage side MV/I,V transfonner shall be satisfied with Class B grounding.

T his type of metering is detailed with the technical specifications in Chapter B8/ LV metering and
circuit breakers. We refer to the general presentation below.
The maximum power demand measurement is useful in monitoring the load of the transformer against its
rating. The CT's are placed to the connection between the transformer and the LV panel. Voltages are
taken from the three pole + neutral fuse holder on the LV panel. The phases include 16 A fuses and the
neutral includes a metal cartridge.

CHAPTER B4 / Remote control
-
W I Remote control
I ) Presentation :
Improved service security requires automation of the MV network. Some substations (one out of three, for
instance, but preferably the largest) have remote controlled MV cubicles operated from the EDC
Dispatching Center. The number of cubicles under remote control depends on the size and position of the
substation in the network. The goal is to obtain one remote controlled cubicle every 1 MW of power
demand or so.
Remote control will be via a microwave network and call for the installation of a raised antenna near the
MVLV substation. For the radio antenna, authorizations must be obtained, preferably before the
substation is equipped with motorized cubicles.
Remote controlled cubicles will be equipped with change of state detectors. Each motorized cubicle
(except the coupling cubicle) will be equipped with a three-way system connected to the remote control
unit and that can be interrogated at a distance.
All of this equipment (remote control cubicle, fault passage detectors, etc.) must be inspected and
maintained periodically by the EDC Network Department.

CHAPTER B4 1 Remote control
2) Cubicle nzotorization :
First, to remote control a substation, the switchgear cubicles will be motorized. Then, a remote control
unit must interface between the cubicles and the com~nunicationsystem (radio or telephone link). For the
system to operate correctly, total compatibility between elements is essential. An standard referenced HN
64-S-43 of July 1990 defines the technical specifications for motorizing the M;I cubicles. The main
functional characteristics to be complied with are outlined in technical specifications. However, it is
important to refer to the text in full for more ample information. .
3) Rernote control unit :
The remote control unit interfaces between the radio system, the motorized cubicles and the fault
detectors. It is capable of managing, up to four motorized cclbicles and four fault detect~rs.
It contains a 230 V VLB isolating transformer, 12 V and 48 V DC power supplies with backup batteries, a
control panel, a remote control card PA4 standardized type, a fault detector card and a radio transceiver.
The power supply is connected in parallel to the substation lighting network downstream of the 32 A
MCCB located on the LV panel.

4) Fault changeover detector :
There is a fault changeover detector on each remote control unit (except for the coupling unit in the case
of a substation with a double busbar). This system consists of three coils, each around one MV cable
phase, an electronic card in the remote control unit and a flashing indicator lamp (6 V 100 mA) placed
visibly against the outside wall of the substation (generally above the entrance door).

The switchgear cubicles can be motorized by the manufacturer or equipped on site. The
transformation of a manual mechanical control into an electrical control is possible, either by
complete replacement of the control or the addition of a system comprising the motor and its
This transformation must be easy to carry out locally by simply bolting on without any special tools.
Grounding the metal frame of the control will be provided by its fitting to the switch.
The control must be accessible after the removal of a panel, without any need to isolate any
compartment of the cubicle or MV panel.

connections to relays, repeaters or position detectors, motors and interface terminal blocks with
the outside of the control can be by screw-on terminal blocks to provide tightness of the
conductors or crimp-on ends on brackets, or can use clips and tabs of 6.3 rnm or 2.8 mm.
No terminals or connecting points must include more than two conductors.
The electrical maneuver is an energy accumulation maneuver in which the energy comes from the
energy of an accumulated electric motor, released in a single continuous maneuver in such a way
that the speed and force of the maneuver are independent of the motor action.
Outside of the MV switch change of state cycle, no electric, mechanical or chemical energy is
stored in the control.
The electric control will be locked electrically or mechanically during manual maneuvering. During
manual control to open or close, closing orders (CF) or opening orders (CO), given to the electric
function is closed.
Closing (CF) and opening (CO) orders will be transmitted to the control in the form of +48 V pulses
having a value complying with the characteristics defined in paragraph 6.1 and a duration included
between 0.4 and 3 seconds. The CO and CF current value will not exceed 100 mA. .
During the operation of the motor, if the 48 V disappears, the voltage return (1 to 10 s after
disappearance) and the continuation of the maneuver will only take place on reception of a CF or
1jj CO order.

The change of state of the hi'~'switch, controlled on one of the main MV contacts, must occur
within 7 seconds of reception of the maneuvering order.
The operating cycles are represented in Figure A. The assigned opening time (DO) and closing
time (DC) values will be specified by the manufacturer.
'Two position repeater contacts, one 010 and the other C/O, will be used in association with the
remote control (TSD). They will be wired according to the diagram of Figure B.
4 - Electric protection
With the motor locked, electric protection must open the circuit in a period of time of less than 1 s.
Priority is given to the opening of a switch; when two simultaneous closing and opening orders are
given to the control, the switch carries out an opening movement if it was closed, or remains open,
then stays locked as long as both orders are maintained.
If the opening order alone is eliminated. the control closes the switch. If the closing order alone is
eliminated, the switch stays open.

Summary
I
T o maintain control of the electrical networks and fulfill its role of distributor, EDC provides low
voltage customer power supply. However, some cases require a medium voltage power supply
and, therefore, the creation of a customer delivery substation which must be associated with MV
metering. This chapter describes the cases in which a delivery substation should be considered and the
way it should be designed.
Medium voltage delivery will be supplied when :
- the peak power demand is strictly in excess of 200 kVA,

- the customer uses, or wishes to use, more than one device connected at medium voltage
(MV/LV transformer, MV capacitors, etc.),
- the customer is powering, or wishes to power, a private MV electrical network.
Note that EDC can insist that part of the premises be made available to ensure supply for other customers
in the district. In this case, the substation becomes mixed with a private part reserved for the\ MV
customer and an EDC part reserved for public distribution.
The delivery substation is generally powered by an underground MV cable, and therefore has an incoming
cubicle and an MV feeder cubicle (called network cubicles). Then, the panel consists of a coupling switch
cubicle, a meter cubicle with potential transformers and current transformers for MV metering and finally,
the cubicle or cubicles intended for the protection of the customer MV equipment.
Wire netting prevents the customer from gaining access to the switch and metering cubicle.
The meter is electronic and records active energy, reactive energy and maximum power demand
(interrogation 10 or 15 minutes) in two time blocks (daylnight). The meter must be available for reading
by the customer at any time.
Pole mounted private substations can be used up to 400kVA. The specifications are described in Chapfel*
B3/Pole l~zouizteddistribution substatiotzs.

1 General
I ) Choice ofpower supply and contract :
Customers are normally supplied at low voltage from public distribution substations. But when the
demand is very high (>= 200 kVA), or if the customer has several MV units (e.g., transfonner and
capacitor banks), or if the customer has a private MV network to be powered, medium voltage power
supply and metering are provided.
At the request of the customer or EDC, the substation can be equipped with motorized network cubicles
which can be remote controlled from the EDC dispatching.
A power supply contract must be signed between EDC and customer. This contract indicates, more
particularly, the delivery point, property limit, applied rates, subscribed power, maximum connection
power, specific particulars of customer, advance estimate of consumption, etc...
2) Civil Engineering :
Civil engineering of the substation is carried out by and at the expense of the customer in compliance with
the recommendations indicated herein. The client must submit the detailed drawing to EDC for
agreement before work begins. EDC can insist on part of the room being made available to ensure the
supply of other customers in the district. In this case, the substation becomes mixed with a private part
reserved for the customer and an EDC part reserved for distribution.
3) Property of installations :
The civil engineering remains the property of the customer, who is responsible for its servicing. If the
substation is mixed (i.e. MV customer plus LV customers), a free of charge provision contract is signed
between EDC and the customer. The contract duration corresponds to the life duration of the building.
Electrical installations upstream of the delivery point (see definition below) are EDC property.
Installations located after the delivery point are customer property, independent of financing which
permitted the constmctions to be established.
Each owner will cover the maintenance and troubleshooting of his installations. For cubiclcs belonging to
the customer, but for which access is reserved to EDC, servicing and troubleshooting will be carried out
by EDC, but invoiced to the customer.
The meter unit and its internal equipment is EDC property.
If the substation is remote controlled, the remote control unit and antenna (or communication network) are
EDC property.
The substation must be identified clearly by a sign indicating its number attached solidly to the outside of
the door.
4) Delivery point :
The delivery point defines the separation between installations belonging to EDC and those belonging to
the customer. The delivery point is identified by an appliance separating the upstream network (EDC)
from the downstream network (customer). For a customer supplied with MV, the delivery point is at the
downstream limits of the MV panel coupling switch cubicle.
5) Intervention limit :
For a delivery substation, the intervention limit is different from the delivery point because some of the
equipment belonging to the customer must only be accessible to EDC personnel. The intervention limit is
identified by the wire netting separating the substation, with EDC accessible equipment on one side
(network cubicles, coupling cubicle, meters cubicles, remote control system) and the private part on the
other. The wire netting is fitted with a padlocked door by EDC, to permit meter reading, emergency
action, access for works, etc...
6) Substation accessibility :
- The substation must be located along the public road and comply with the current urban planning rules.
All electrical conduits must be placed between the right of way of the public road and the entry to the
substation. Access into the substation must be possible at all times and directly from the public road. In
- general, the substation has two doors, a public road side door providing access to EDC personnel and a
private door on the other side, providing access for the customer.
7) Safety regulations :
-
Safety regulations for work on the medium voltage installations shall be complied with to the letter. It
should be noted that :
-
- live work on this category of installation is strictly prohibited. Any persons wishing to
operate on such installations must ask EDC for isolation fiom the network and certification
of de-energizing.
- operation of MV equipment (in particular MV switchgear) must be accomplished by

qualified personnel equipped with personal protection (helmet, MV gloves, anti-UV
goggles, spark-resisting clothing, long sleeves, insulating stools or mats). On this point,
the customer is recommended to permanently leave safety equipment in the substation (MV
insulating boom, MV voltage absence testing devices, goggles, helmet, MV gloves, etc...).
CHAPTER B5 1 Civil engineerging
I ) MV Panel :
The substation is generally supplied from an underground network which is cut off-connected to the MV
cable. The MV panel is equipped with two network interrupting cubicles (switchgear units), a coupling
intermpting cubicle, a meter cubicle containing potential transformers and current transformers for MV
metering and finally, the cubicle (or cubicles) intended for the protection of the customer's MV
equipment.
.
If the customer has several MV units (MVILV transformers, capacitor banks, each will be connected
separately to a protection cubicle. This cubicle will be equipped with a switch providing on-load cutoff
and protection by striker fuses (switch opening in event of blowing of at least one fuse). If the customer is
-
feeding a private MV network, the network will be connected to the MV panel via an MV circuit-breaker
provided with overcurrent and earth-fault protection, each having an adjustable threshold and timeout.
The transformer protection cubicle is equipped with MV fuses or with circuit breaker. MV fuse protection
is for the transformer power less than 1000kVA. The fuses shall be HRC type, meeting DIN standards
The fragility of the MV fuses means that they must be kept in their original pack away from impact, and
-
the three fuses replaced systematically in the event of an incident (even if only a single fuse appears to be
damaged). The choice of rating is to be made according to the following table:
FUSE RATING DliVSfarzdards (no overload, -ZSoC< t 40°C)
UTE standards are shown as follows,

-

[kVAI at 15 kV [kVA] at 22 kV
Version 1.2 61
CHAPTER B5 I Civil engineerging
Circuit breaker protection is for the transformer power equal or more than 1000kVA. The rated current
-- setting selection is to be according to the following table.
Rated protection current setting selection
- An 0.80 m clearance in front of each unit must be allowed for safe operation.
All the MV equipment (cubicles and cables) must be designed for 22 kV.
On either side of the panel, there is a location (referred to as the reserve) for extension. In general, the
cubicles are 500 mm or 375 mm wide.
2) MV/L V transformer :
The transformer can be prone to failure and special safety measures are needed. In order not to hinder exit
in an emergency, it will be located away fiom the door, preferably at the back of the substation. It will be
placed over a pit so that the oil can be recovered in the event of leakage. The pit must not connect with
any pits or gutters to prevent the oil fiom spreading and igniting the entire substation if fire breaks out.
The transformers will be 22 kV units. The secondary voltage will be set at 2301400 V. Rating will be
standardized at 250,400, 630 kVA, up to 3000 kVA. The MV link of the transformer protection cubicle
will consist of single core 70 mm2 aluminum cable.
The use of oil containing PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) is strictly prohibited.
In the city, load density and the difficulty of finding locations sometimes mean that two transformers are

3) LVpanel (mixed substation only) :
The transformer is connected to the LV panel by using 240mm2 Copper.
Group Reduction Factor, where there are more than one circuit installations close together, as shown shall
be applied.
Group Reduction Factor
CHOICE OF TRANSFORMER +LVPANEL CONNECTION
The LV panel is the interface between the MVLV transformer and the LV networks. It plays an essential
part in protecting and separating the installations. It must include a main switch on the incomer, capable
of opening under load. Then, it has up to eight 400 A three-phase + neutral feeders. Each feeder has
three HRC 250 A or 400 A fuses and one neutral isolating bar.
In addition to the eight LV feeders, the panel is equipped with:
- a 32 A (phase +neutral) moulded compact circuit breaker (MCCB) intended for accessories (lighting of
substation, power outlets, remote control unit).
- a padlockable multi-pole fuse-holder (three-phase + neutral, size 22 x 58 mm) intended for the voltage
circuit of the substation general meter system.
4) Capacitor bank :
Version 1.2
The MV customer shall be contractually obligated to maintain power factor coscp > 0.85. This may require
them to install capacitor banks.
In the case of mixed substation, it would not be advisable to install a separate LV capacitor bank on the
LV board, as this may result in a shunt resonance condition.
5) Accessories :
The substation lighting must be controlled by a switch located near each entrance door. A 230 V wall-
mounted power outlet is also placed near each door.
6) Metering cabinetfor private substation :
Two metering cabinets are installed. One metering cabinet shall be installed at the boundary between the
public road and customer compartment, so that EDC worker can check the meter at the public road. The
other metering shall be installed in the private compartment of substation.

T he substation building must meet the requirements of the environment. Obviously, it must comply
with urban planning rules and building permits must be obtained.
The substation must be entirely of solid construction (wall, floor and ceiling of concrete) to resist bad
weather. Accordingly, great attention must be paid to problems of waterproofing the roof and to risks of
flooding during heavy rain. The substation must have low ventilation and high ventilation (minimum 1
m2 each air passage). Vents must be protected from rain and provided with wire netting to prevent the
ingress of animals.
Installation of wooden wall is prohibited for prevention of fires. Fence or walls to separate outside from
inside the MV equipments shall be installed to prevented third persons from entering the compound.
Signs to alert third persons to danger shall be installed at the entranceslexits. Locking devices or other
appropriate devices shall be installed at the entranceslexits.
In the event of fire, the fire shall not be allowed to spread outside of the substation in less than two hours.
To ensure proper ventilation, the internal height shall be at least 3.50 m.
Doors will be of steel, opening outward and height will be 2.00 m. The LH door may be locked in the
closed position and the RH door used customarily must be provided with means for padlocking.
Dimensions are for information and correspond to a "standard" case. Obviously, the civil engineering will
need to be adapted according to the actual equipment in the substation, both on EDC and customer sides.
Therefore, the customer must get in touch with EDC to agree on the equipment and submit his detailed
plan for approval before works commence.

T he electrical networks, and more specifically the low voltage networks, have suffered a great deal
from the war. Since 1996, they have been entirely rebuilt in Phnom Penh under various important
projects financing from different sources.

The purpose of this note is to specify, in detail, the technology that EDC intends to employ for the
construction of LV networks. It can be supplied as a reference to the various contractors.
The main options chosen are as follows :
- technical studies canied out by EDC (see Chapter C3 /LVnetworkstudies),
- standardizing to 240 and 150 mmz aluminium cable for underground applications,
- standardizing to 150, 70 and 35 nm? aluminium Aerial Bundled Cable (ABC) for overhead -
sections using insulated twisted cable,
- generalizing of the substation outlets using underground techniques,
- use of twisted wire networks preferably on the building faqades rather than using overhead -
networks on poles,
- neutral grounding at least every 200 meters and at each end of the network.

I General
1) Network studies :
In order to maintain knowledge and control of the networks, EDC will be carrying out studies to -
dimension the LV networks. The methodology and criteria to be complied with are described in Chapter
C3 / LV network studies. After this study work, EDC will submit a file to the prime contractor
..
including, at the very least :
- a lay out of the LV networks indicating the nature (underground, faqade or overhead) and
size of the conductors,
- a plan indicating the customers taken into account in this study,

- an operating diagram with different colors for each LV feeder.
2) Line calculations :
For overhead networks, the prime contractor will carry out his own line calculations to define the
locations and loads on the poles. The calculations must allow for the parameters indicated below :
Hypothesis for mechanical line caZculations
ABC 3~704.70mm' alunliniu~nor

iU3C .3x150 1.70 nun' alimiiniotn
3) Clzoice ofpoles :
Version 1.2
The characteristics of the supports will be defined by calculations and will be chosen fiom the following
range:
For greater strengths, double poles must be used. In this case, two poles will be placed next to each
other and secured at the base by the foundation, and at the top by bolts.
The poles must be installed at least two days before the cable is installed to ensure that the foundation is
truly stable. The installation depth shall be 1/6 of overall length or more (SREPTS Article 39 Table
I9B). The foundation block will be concrete cast in an excavated hole.
4) Network construction :
Network construction must comply with the directives described in this document, but also with the
implementation manuals for each piece of equipment. More particularly, attention will be paid to cable
laying (underground and overhead), to the construction of accessories (in particular the junction boxes)
and to compliance with installation parameters for the ABC.
5) Neutral grounding :
The LV network will be grounded as often as possible. In practice, it will be necessary to provide for :
- underground: on all accessories (junction boxes, distribution grids),

- overhead: at least every 200 meters and at each end of the network.
LV neutral grounding will be on a copper cable and will use one (or several) ground stakes to obtain a
ground resistance of less than 30 Ohms.
Within the substation, the neutral will be connected to ground if the ground resistance is less than 1 Ohm.
Otherwise, initial grounding of the LV neutral will be carried out outside the substation at at least 25
Version 1.2 5,l
meters from it.
The neutral of low voltage side MV/LV transformer shall be satisfied with Class B grounding.
6) Public lighting :
(a) Existing public lighting

The public lighting network will be created by the use of LV twisted cables with two conductors reserved ..
for the purpose. The connection of the light points will be made between one of these conductors and
the neutral of the twisted cable. This will provide EDC w i ~ ha public lighting network having two
circuits which can be put under separate control. For the underground section, a 2x25 mm2 aluminium -
cable will be laid systematically alongside each LV underground cable.
All the public lighting cables will be connected in the public lighting box installed against the MVILV
substation wall.
(b) New construction of public lighting

The LV cable with two conductors reserved for public lighting will be not used for new construction.
7) Netrvork cartography:
For underground networks, the contractor will submit to EDC precise drawings to 1:500 indicating the
exact position of the installed cables. Junction boxes must appear with the make and date of installation.
Drawings shall be cut-away drawings presented as shown in Cl~apterC5 /Network cartograplzy.
For overhead or fapade-mounted networks, the prime contractor will submit to EDC the drawings -.
supplied initially, specifying the modifications that have appeared during the performance of the work.
The positions and loads on each support must be indicated.
8) Generalpresentation of the var*ioustypes of L V networks :

CHAPTER B6 / LV underground networks

I1 Underground nefworks I
I) Preliminary steps :
After obtaining administrative authorizations, the prime contractor must question the various users of the
subsoil about the presence or absence of piping on the layout. All precautions must be taken to work
safely and avoid damage to existing conduits (de-energizing of existing cables and operation without
mechanical machines, for instance).
2) Trenching :
When the layout is via hardtop or concreted are?, the surface coating must be cut with a disk cutter
suitable for the purpose, or with a jack hammer.
Trenching will generally use mechanical machinery. However, when pipes al-e indicated as being
present, it is necessary to work by hand (shovel and pick).
Nqure lJ-2 :Sectional view of trench
After filling, the trench must be compacted. The surface will be finished according to the appropriate
road surface directives.
fn case of direct burial system, the depth of trenching set to 1.2 m or more for the place which has a
danger of receiving pressure from vehicles or other object. For the other place, setting depth is 0.6 n~or
more. Here, other place includes the side walk of a road and the road where no vehicles pass.
Depth in case of direct burial system
3) Neighborhood with other cables :
The distance to be allowed between two MV cables, or between one MV cable and one LV cable (in case
of crossing or parallelism), is 0.30 m. In case of parallelism, the trench must be widened by 0.30 m for
each additional cable.
The distance to be allowed between two LV cables (in case of crossing or parallelism), is 0.15 m. In
case of parallelism, the trench must be widened by 0.20 m for each additional LV cable.
For the public telecommunications lines, other types of conduits (water, gas, etc.), the distance to be
allowed between electrical cables (MV or LV) is as follows.
New line Other electrical lines

Low-voltage (* 0.1)0.3m Shall not contact directly

" 7he street Iigl~trr~gcable laid with the LVcable is faken Into considerat~onul rlis /able.
/i 1.20 m 1
In the event of close proximity (crossing or parallelism) with public telecommunications lines, the
distance to be allowed between electrical cables (MV or LV) and telecommunication cables 'is at least
0.40 m.
In case of neighboring (crossing or parallelisnl) with other types of conduits (water, gas, etc.), the distance
to be allowed between electrical cables (MVor LV) and these pipes is at least 0.20 m.
4) Use ofpipes :
For major roads crossings, or when a depth which is described in the subsection of trenching cannot be
obtained, the cable will be paced in a plastic (or steel) conduit to provide additional mechanical protection
and allow repairs without opening the road at this point. Other pipes can be placed in reserve.
The use of pipes \$fillalso decrease the width of the trench because the pipes can be placed one against
another.
However, the use of pipes should not be generalized for at least three different reasons :
- the pipes are costly,
- cables cool less efficiently,
- it is more difficult to find cable faults.
5) Cable laying :
Any subsequent action on an underground cable is a difticult and costly task. Therefore, on laying and
making up of cable accessories, great attention is necessary. Be sure not to damage the cable when
laying it, and to comply with the curve radius (in general, 20 times the outside diameter of the cable).
Pull by hand as indicated in the diagram below, while continuously and progressively pulling. When a
pulling rope is used, connection with the cable must be by a pulling grip.

6) L V Underground tee offpoints :
Tee off points of LV underground cable shall not be used any longer. Tee off points on LV underground
networks can be obtained in two different ways. At a tangent or tee off on an underground cable or from a
star-connection grid. Because of the high cost of such a grid, and the risks of flooding in Cambodia, the
first solution should be preferred. However, problems of operation in the event of an incident (longer time
required for cable fault-finding and more difficult assistance to customers), T connection shall not be used
for new installation.
7) L V neutral grounding :
All the accessories (junction boxes, star grid, etc.) must have LV neutral grounding.
Version 1.2
CHAPTER B6 1 LV wall mounted networks
-
111 L V wa// mounted networks
I
1) Presentation :
LV networks installed on walls will be used as offen as possible because they combine aesthetics, low
cost and ease of implementation.
Fi4ure llI-1: LV wall mounted networks
2) Route authorizations :
Ensure that all necessary route authorizations are obtained for LV twisted cable and also for the meter
boxes.
3) Cable insfallation :
The LV twisted cable is attached to the wall by preinsulated wall type strapes (brackets) every 0.60 in.
-.
These brackets are installed first over the entire length to be laid.
CHAPTER B6 1 LV wall mounted networks
Then, the cable is layed out on the ground (same principle as for underground laying). The passage of
obstacles (brackets and blinds) is possible using laying pulleys. Finally, the cable is lifted and attached
to the brackets while ensuring that the cable curve radius is correct, and while avoiding friction against the
sharp edges of the wall.
4) Interruptions in wall mounting :
Breaks in the fa~ades(street crossings, for instance) will use the tensioning technique with an anchor
point on each side. The span shall not be excessive to prevent unseemly sagging. The maximum pulling
applied to the bearing conductor (neutral) shall not exceed 4 kN.
5) Connection with underground LVnetrvork :
Connection to the underground LV network will be accomplished by an overhead-underground rising *

section. A metallic or PVC shell will protect the cable, leading up from the ground to a height of 2
meters. The connection between the underground cable and the twisted overhead cable will be above
ground and near the anchor point of overhead cable.
6) Twisted cablejunction :
The junction will use pre-insulated sleeves at intervals of 0.1 m or so. The bearing neutral will require a
special sleeve resisting forces. The twist will be reconstituted as indicated below.
.Binding nrap
Flrrure III-6: Junction on LV twisted cable
7) Connection of fee offpoint :
A tee off point will be connected to the main cable by means of insulated piercing connectors. Each
connector will be at an interval of 0.1 m or so.
m.7: LV twisted cabb tee off

CHAPTER B6 / LV \itall mounted networks
8) LV neutral grounding :
Earth systems will be established at least every 200 m and at each end of the network. The connection of
the ground cable to the neutral will use an insulated piercing connector.
9) L V twisted cable ends :
Insulating and sealed ends will be placed at either end of the cable.
CHAPTER B6 / LV overhead networks
-
I V Overhead LV nel'works on poles I
1) Presentation :
Overhead LV networks on poles will be used when the faqade network method is not feasible.
Fiqure IV-1:Overhead LV networks
2) Cable laying :
Cable laying will use pulleys at the top of each pole. The pulling rope will pass through the pulleys and
will be attachcd to the cable by means of a pulling grip. Pulling will be by hand with continuous and
gradual traction. The cable must not drag on the floor during laying operations. The rotation of the
cable drum will be controlled by an operator.
Flaure IV-2 :LV overhead cable laying

Version 1.2
3) Tension line adjustment :
It will be necessary to take up the mechanical tension so that the anchor clamp can be positioned and the .
tension line adjusted correctly. The traction applied to the bearing neutral must be controlled by means
of the use of a dynamometer as shown below.
Fiqure IV-3 :Tension line adiustment
Calculation of sag
The sag for overhead distribution system supported by supporting structure is calculated by the following
conditions as below.
For tIze sag of span which is the same Ievel of supportingpoint
Where;
D - Sag for overhead conductor (m)
W- Weight per unit conductor length (kg-m)
g - Gravity acceleration (m/sZ)
S - Span between two poles (m)
T - Tension in the horizontal direction at the lowest
point of the overhead conductor (N).
For correct tension line adjustment, the traction to be applied is defined in the following tables:
Laying on parameters for 3 x 70 + 70 mm3ABC
Laying on parameters for 3 x 150 + 70 mm2ABC
4) Dead end assembly :
An anchor system consists of a bracket and a strain clamp wedge type. The bracket is attached to the
pole, preferably with two bolts; otherwise using two stainless steel straps.
Version I .2
Figure N 4 - a :Dead end assembly
For a double anchor system, it is necessary to differentiate between an anchor on the stopping pole and
that on a line up pole.
Figure IV-4-b:Double anchor Ffaure IY4-c: Double anchor

on stopping uole on line u p vole
5) Construction of suspensions :
A suspension assembly system consists of a bracket and a bracket with upper and lower budge. The
bracket is attached to the pole, preferably with two bolts, otherwise with two stainless steel straps.
Figure IV-5-a:Suspension assembly
The use of suspension assemblies is confined to outward angles < 50 degrees and to re-entrant angles < 30
degrees. In the latter case, it is worthwhile passing the cable on the other side of the bracket to obtain a
probvding angle.

T he. current distribution system with the meters grouped together as near as possible to the
transformer substation is bound to disappear gradually as the LV networks are reconstructed. For
new networks, the connections will be made in compliance with this technical guide and comply
with the following principles :
- customer connection to the LV network at the nearest point to the customer to limit
technical losses,
- one connection per installation but with the possible grouping of the meters (while taking
care not to exceed the permissible current intensities for the equipment and cables) in
boxes containing 3 or 5 meters,
..
- protection of each connection by a circuit-breaker,
- use of a differential circuit-breaker for new constructions supplied with single phase or
three phase voltage 2 63 A,
- access to the circuit-breaker control and to meter reading by the customer,
- LV single phase connection limited to 63 A (14 kVA),
- LV three phase conkction limited to 3 x 360 A (250 kVA).
- eventually, mandatory testing of the custotner's installation by an approved person before

the energizing of the installation.

I - General
1) Definition :
-
The LV connection is defined as a link between the public distribution network (LV network of LVMV
substation in the case of direct connection) and the origin of the customer's installation (called the
delivery point). -
2) Delivery point :
The delivery point is the separation between the installations belonging to EDC and those belonging to the
customer. It also defines the limits of the intervention and the responsibility of each. It must be located
as close as possible to the point of consumption, generally at the limit of the public domain (street, road
etc.) and of the private domain (fence, building, etc.). This point of delivery is physically identified by a
piece of equipment separating the upstream network (EDC) ffom the downstream network (customer).
For a customer supplied with LV, this equipment is a circuit-breaker (rated to suit the customer's power
demand) or a connection terminal block. More specifically, the point of delivery is located :
- across the downstream terminals of the circuit-breaker or of the terminal block for single-phase
connections,
- across the downstream terminals of the LV circuit-breaker for the three-phase connections 2 90 A,
- across the upstream terminals of the LV circuit-breaker for the three-phase connections > 90 A.
All the equipment located upstream of the delivery point is therefore the property of EDC whatever the
financing that enabled the work to be carried out. Against this, EDC will ensure the servicing and
trouble-shooting of this equipment at its own cost.
Similarly, meters are always the property of EDC and shall be located as near as possible to the delivery
point. Reading shall be possible at any time by the customer.
The meter boxes must be made of plastic or PVC to permit live work to be canied out.
A power supply contract shall be s i ~ e dbetween EDC and each customer. This contract will indicate
more specifically the delivery point and the limits of the property. It can be created by another working
group in charge of customer management.
Version 1.2
3) Protection equipment :
In the case of refurbishing the LV networks, the circuit-breakers are of the non-differential type. They are
placed electrically upstream of the meters to provide protection and de-energizing of each meter. The
entire unit can be switched out by disconnecting the cable at the LV network level. The units are equipped
with an access door so that the customer may operate the circuit-breaker. Accordingly, the units must not
be installed at a height exceeding 3 meters.
For new constructions, the differential circuit-breakers are placed preferably at the customer's premises,
in a clear area, easily reached, and away kom any water points (sinks, taps, etc.) and at a height not to
exceed 1.80 m. The room where the circuit-breaker is located must not be a water closet (toilet,
bathroom) nor must not contain any flammable or explosive materials. The delivery point is the
downstream terminals of the circuit-breaker and the upstream terminals shall not be accessible to the
customer. These terminals will therefore be protected by an EDC lead sealed cover. The boxes used will
be of the same type as for the power supplies of new constructions but equipped differently. Upstream of
the meters fused circuit-breakers will protect and de-energize each meter. The access door of these boxes
is thus no longer necessary and will be removed or locked.
4) Choice of conductor section :

Depending on the customer's power requirements and the distance between the nearest public distribution
installation, it will be necessary to choose a cable section allowing no more than a 2% voltage drop to be
obtained on the connection.
The following figure indicates, for each section (16,25 and 35 mm2), the maximum length permitted as a
function of the power. These curves are a way of optimizing the cable section as a function of the
required power and length. Beyond these curves (25 mrn2 for overhead, 35 mm2 for underground), the LV
network will have to be extended to decrease the connection length. The voltage drop calculation is
shown as follows,
Single phase: phasdneutral AU = 2I~(Rcoscp+Xsincp)L

Balanced 3-phase: 3 phase AU = & ~ ~ ( ~ c o s cXsincp)L
p+
Ie: The full load cwrent in amps
L: Length of the cable in kilometers
R: Resistance of the cable conductor in n/km
X: inductive reactance of a conductor in Wkm
cp: phase angle between voltage and current in the circuit considered
The customer that the peak power demand is in excess of lOOkVA shall directly connect a LVIMV
substation by using private LV conductors because of considerable influence on other customers in
voltage drop. For direct connections to a LV/MV substation, the voltage drop between the substation and
the delivery point at the customer's shall not be more than 5%. In this case, the following cable sections
can be used :
- overhead ABC 150 mm2 Alu (max. 281 A)
- underground XLPE 240 mm2 Alu (max. 351 A),
Therefore, the peak power demand for overhead connection and underground connection are limited
less than 200kVA and 250kVA respectively. The customer that peak power demand is not less than
limited value shall be connected by MV. See Chapter BS/Private substations.
Version 1.2
The choice will depend on a detailed study taking into account the power demand of the -~,t.),ner, the
customer's power increase projects, the length between the substation and the delivery point, what is
technically feasible etc.

T here are two box sizes, the small one capable of containing up to three single phase meters and the
large one which will take up to 5 single phase meters. The three-phase meters are placed
individually in one small box.
I ) Connectionfrom overhead LV network :
Customer connection from the overhead LV network is made from the support nearest the consumer '
point.

In this case the box is placed against the building facade as close as possible to the consumer point. For
areas of greater customer density, a 5 meter box is used.

T hree types of boxes can be used ( 1 , 3 or 5 meters). Boxes containing 3 and 5 meters will be of the
same type as used for connections but will be equipped differently. They will be placed in order of
preference: against the wall of the property (public domain side so that they are accessible to EDC
personnel), against a wall of the house if there is no fence or against the support. Connection can be of
the overhead, overheadlunderground or underground type.

CHAPTER B7 1 Connection of the new constructions
2) New construction overliead/underground connectiorz :
This technique is more costly but offers a number of advantages:
- more aesthetic with no visible cables,

- ease of running the LV network underground at a later date.
It can be adopted as long as the customer accepts the extra cost and prepares the following:
- the sleeves from the pole to the house, via the meter box,
- the location for the box,
- the penetration point into the house,
- the location for the wooden panel supporting the circuit-breaker.

Version 1.2
CHAPTER B7 / Connection of the new constructions
3) New construction underground connection :

Connection to an underground LV network can be accomplished in two ways. From a tangent (tee off
box) to the underground cable or from a multi-directional (star-grid) grid capable of connecting up to
three users. Because of the high cost of the star grid and the problems of flooding in Cambodia, the first
solution is given priority. However, problems of operation in the event of incidents occuning (searching
for cable faults and longer time to trouble-shoot users), T connection shall not be used for new
installation.
The meter box is placed preferably against the wall of the property on the public domain side so that it is
accessible to EDC personnel. In general, each box contains a single meter.

CHAPTER B7 1Connection from MVJLV substation
I -
IV Direct connection from MV/L V substation I
D irect connection from the MV/LV substation is specific and only concerns three phase power
connections at high levels. These are encountered in two cases: when the customer is the only
client supplied by the substation and when the customer power is high and he cannot be supplied
via the LV network (to be checked by the Panter BT study). The low voltage power supply (2301400 V) is
limited to 360 A (250 kVA). Beyond, the customer will have his own substation and be supplied with
medium voltage (see Chapter B5 /Private substations).
The connection is via the same cable as used for the LV networks (150 mm2 Alu overhead, 240 mm2 Alu
underground).
I ) Single customer :
In this case the substation is built .specially to power the customer and is normally very close to the
consumer point. Accordingly, the meter and circuit-breaker will be placed in an adjacent technical room
with direct access to the outside. The substation will not have an LV panel and the transformer to circuit-
breaker link will be direct.

Version 1.2
CHAPTER B7 / Connection from MVlLV substation
The substation is used for public distribution and therefore has an LV panel equipped with several
feeders. Connection will be on the panel LV feeders and the meter and circuit-breaker will be outside the
substation in a technical room. Because of the current intensities to be handled, this technical room must
be placed as close as possible to the substation (affixed to the substation if I > 500 A).

Summary
I
T he current distribution system with the meters grouped as close as possible to the transformer
substation will disappear gradually as the LV networks are rebuilt and the connections are re-
established. The meter points will be in conformity with this technical guide and therefore comply
with the following principles:
- use of high quality meters,

- protection of each installation by a circuit breaker,
- access to the circuit breaker control and reading of meter by customer,
- supply limitation:
by non-differential circuit breaker for connections recovered from existing
single-phase 163 A or three-phase 5 90 A constructions,
by differential circuit breaker for new constructions supplied with single-

phase 1 6 3 A or three-phase power 5 90 A,
by measuring the maximum power reached in kVA (electronic meter) for

power supplies > 90 A.
- LV single-phase meter limited to 63 A (14 kVA),

- direct three-phase LV meter limited to 3 x 90 A (62 kVA),
- LV meter on three-phase CT limited to 3 x 360 A (250 kVA),
- electronic meter for important customers > 90 A (double rates dayJnight, active and reactive
energy, maximum power reached indicator),
- eventually, mandatory testing of the customer's installation by an approved person before the
installation is energized.

refurbishing) :
Each meter includes a direct single-phase, single-dial meter, a circuit breaker (phase + neutral) adapted to
the power demand of the customer, and a tennlnal block for connecting the connection cable. The circuit
breakers and terminals are attached to DIN rails. The rails for the circuit breakers are raised so that the
circuit breaker control is at the same level as the door of the unit. The box, plastic or PVC, is placed as
close as possible to the point of consumption. It is kept under lock and key by EDC, but includes
windows so that the meters can be read, and a sealed access trap so that the circuit breakers can be
operated. The single-phase meters can be grouped in units of 3 or 5.

3 or 5 meters. The 3 and 5-meter boxes will be identical to the models used for connection recovery, but
with different internal equipment and a locked access door. The box, of plastic or PVC, will be placed as
close as possible to the point of consumption. It will be kept under lock and key by EDC but will include
windows so that the meters may be read.
Each meter includes a fused disconnector, a direct-connected single-dial single-phase meter, and a circuit
breaker @hase+ neutral) placed at the customer's premises, and adapted to the power requirements of the
customer. The connecting terminal block for neutral and the fused circuit breakers are attached to a DIN
rail. The circuit breaker is of the differential type and placed on a wooden board at the customer's.

T his metering is implemented via a three-phase meter adapted to the power demand of the customer.
The meter includes a single dial. Upstream of the meter is a four-pole fuse holder mounted on a
DIN rail. Downstream is a three-pole + neutral circuit breaker adapted to the customer power
demand. The box, of plastic or PVC, is placed as close as possible to the point of consumption. It is kept
under lock and key by EDC but includes a window so that the meter may be read. The top of the unit
must be at a height of no more than 3 meters. A box can only contain one three-phase meter.

CHAPTER B8/Three-phase kwh meter > 90 A
If1 -7hree-phase meter # 90 A
T his type of meter requires the use of current transformers (CT). These CT's are connected to the
cable ahead of the circuit breaker. The meter is placed in a box and contains: an electronic meter
(double dayinight rates, active energy measurement, reactive energy measurement, measurement of
maximum power reached in kVA), while three terminal boxes are used for isolating the meters (U and I)
while ensuring automatic continuity of the current circuits (safety). The circuit breaker is outside of the
meter box. This circuit breaker must be disconnectable if it is connected directly to the transformer. The
meter box is padlocked by EDC and must include a window so that the meter may be read, and be placed
in a room accessible to the customer. If the customer wishes to be able to interrogate the various meter
registers, EDC can provide him with access to the inside of the unit, as long as the terminal cover of the
meter and terminal box is properly lead-sealed.
