1 INTRODUCTION
Energy conversion or simply put, power generation begins from a mixture of oil fired thermal, wind power gas turbine, hydro, diesel, as well as blended cycle plants. On the exemption of small diesel and mini hydro plant, others are interconnected through high voltage transmission lines which build into The National Grid Network (Yusof et al., 1995). This network comprise of a principal artery which stretches among main generation, transmission, and dispersion points across a locality. Transmission system comprise of a lot of lines that form networks to convey the electricity from the generating plants to the areas where it will be properly utilized or the principal oncoming station including PMUs (Main Distribution Station).
Transportation of electricity could necessitate long and short distance delivery techniques that use power cables and supporting pylons (Faulkenberry and Coffer, 1996). The voltage grade of principal transmission networks are 275kV, 132Kv, and lastly 66kV. Electricity is then conveyed to universal arena of use by the dispersion system where the voltage is stepped down using transformer on-load tap changers at the distribution substations. Voltage grades are at 33kV, 22kV, 11kV, 6.6kV, and 415/240 volts (Yusof et al., 1995).
Further, there are two levels of system applied for distribution of electricity. The first level is the basal distribution system, which uses 3-points, 3-wire shapes. Overhead lines and under the ground systems are used maximally to smoothen the delivery and as well as protective measures. Principal method of transmission is by utilising the pylons throughout the highways and roads. The conversion to below-ground cabling system is created by the time the line has to function for big cities which obviously do not possess adequate place for large structures such as pylons. Underground system further assists to conserve the lovely scenery in cities and towns. The next type is the secondary low voltage (L.V) which uses 3-phase, 4-wire configurations with the neutral is firm at the source substations. It functions at average commercial premises as well as residential users. The voltage grade shows that it is 415/240 volts and very similar to the primary system, it also utilizes overhead and below ground cables for inadequate voltage distribution. Utmost demand for low voltage users could be as high as 1500kVA appended at the single phase 240V or at the three phase 415V.
Dispersion system ceases with the amount of load appended with electricity, which the load is altered from industrial to domestic consumers. The demand of industrial users is reversed to the individuals, as business sections demanded increased power and possessed bigger loads. There are two major division of load; they are linear and non-linear. Linear load is depicted as a class of loads, which if provided by sinusoidal source at primal frequency, produce only fundamental sinusoidal current (Burch et al., 2003). An instance of linear load is domiciled very much in domestic and commercial users which include candent lamps, induction motors, resistive heater, as well as boilers. Interim, nonlinear load is referred to as; a set of load which leave the input current waveform to be importantly perverted likened to the ideal sinusoidal current waveform. Nonlinear load like computers, arc furnace, switch mode power supplies (SMPS), and adjustable speed drives are utilised widely by industrial consumers and they created consonant.
The late created idea of smart grid (SG) has imaged in type of a joined or connected system focalizing present power grid with data and correspondence framework. It has achieved energetic change and novel business connections in the utility framework, particularly in the interest side. The traditional energy clients have amplified their part as the energy maker and customer who can create flowed power with renewable energy assets and make benefits from exchanging the energy to power trade markets (Bhatt et al., 2014). It can be acknowledged serenely with a client energy administration framework, which offers a percentage of the functionalities committed to the SG administrations. The achievement of the SG has been subordinate on power appropriation and correspondence foundation, as well as on proficient, viable and responsive answers for building energy administration on the client end. In current connections, mechanization and administration of a building has been quickly developing marvel. Developing correspondence advancements have been relied upon to change the present somewhat joined houses into flawlessly associated smart, savvy and versatile homes. Ever more elevated entrance of robotization might prompt expanded gadget insight and they would be performing their normal undertakings in clear circumstances self-rulingly and without much human mediation.
A standout amongst the most helpful gadgets in today's mechanical world is Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). VFD cables convey power from AC drive systems to AC motors. As a function, these cables must withhold not only the overall high power grades of the pulse-width modulated (PWM) signs, but also the enormously high voltage which can happen when standing waves build up on the conductors. This top voltage can result to corona excretion to occur between the conductors of old school cables, resulting to damage not only to the cabling itself, but as well to the motors, bearings, drive and all other related equipment. In turn, this harm can cause malfunction of the whole drive system, leading in costly production downtime.
They permit the rate of a 3-stage AC electric engine to be changed or enhanced anytime were the execution of the engine's heap changes. Keeping in mind the end goal to react to the interest yield frequency and voltage in this way permitting VFD engine to alter its RPMs (Zanino and Savoldi, 2006). The advantages of Variable Frequency Drives are to enhanced procedure control, energy savings, and higher reliability and reduced wear and tear.

2 MATERIALS AND METHODS
2.1 Purpose-designed VFD Cable
Synonymous to several other engineering solutions, it presents not just the advantage but also some disadvantages. Electrical energy flowing in the cable carries frequencies capacity of 30 MHz. when there is no high content of frequency energy in the cable it can cause interference with proper operation of close equipment. Examples include electronic equipment, not exactly vigorous or business grade Ethernet frameworks and straightforward instrumentation wires, even circuits that have entirely no significance with the VFD system itself. This noise emission can sometimes be hard to trace and remove and there is a probability that it is independently most important problem linked to VFD system of recent and in controlling this except there is a proper cable shielding, plants and factory operation can be disrupted by the noise emission from the drive system cable. However it is know that a longer cable radiates more noise it is precautious to reduce the length of the cable which in turn puts a limitation on factory layout distance.
The impact of system reliability is selected, aligned and operated by components of a VFD system (drive, cable and motor). The cable connecting the VFD to the motor, positioned center stage within the drive system plays an especially vital role in optimizing VFD system component longevity and performance (See Figure 2).
However, the way by which VFD-based systems are built and operated will have an effect on both the durability and reliability of all the components of the system, as well as proximate or adjacent systems.
2.1.3 Common mode current
Another name for Common mode current is current noise. It is defined as any current that transfer the drive on the primary motor leads and goes back through any ground path (including the cable grounds and shield). The function of VFD cable is to give the most attractive path for these potentially harmful currents to return to the drive with limited disturbance to the surrounding networks and instrumentation. It is only a cable with a low impedance ground path will be most effective in eliminating common mode currents. It is Belden’s observation that systems with an important number of littler drives have a tendency to be relatively more inclined to see issues with common mode noise.
Common-mode noise in terms of AC power is the racket signal within the neutral and the base conductor. This should not be intertwined with conventional mode noise, which is cited from the line (hot), and the neutral conductor. Common-mode noise impulses inclined to be more in frequency than the related rule mode noise signal. This is to be awaited since most of the common-mode signals emanated from capacitive coupled normal mode signals. The more the frequency, the higher the coupling among the conductors, line, neutral and ground. Electronic gadgets are 10 to 100 times more responsive to common mode noise than normal mode noise.
Fig. 2: Diagram of a typical VFD system
We attribute this tendency to faster switching devices and reduction of output filtering in the more cost sensitive drive products.
2.1.2 Cable charging and capacitive coupling
Motor leads or other adjacent cable systems which consumes some of the drive output current in capacitive interaction is capacitive coupling and cable these phenomena can consume drive power and result in reduced motor torque, drive overload trips, and brought voltages on adjacent cable systems. Ways of reducing this effect of cable losing associated with both capacitive coupling and cable charging are: having the lowest practical cable capacitance, and ensuring that motor lead sets are effectively shielded from each other to prevent capacitive interaction. Capacitive charging losses are proportional to the length or run, and the number of conductors with which a given set of motor leads can capacitively interface. A most dire outcome imaginable is the point at which various motor leads with high capacitance (THHN for instance) are ganged together in conduit.
2.1.3 Reflected wave voltage
Reflected wave voltage is a challenge common in VFDs with longer motor leads. The disparity between the cable also, motor impedance causes voltage reflection at the point where the leads enter the motor windings. Standing wave impact is created by a reflection lead, and a looming multiplying of motor terminal voltages (Wesche, 2005). The likelihood of either a motor or driver disappointment is because of expansion in higher voltages. Basic separations are expanded by the utilization of most minimal capacitance (the separation where the link is completely rung up to double the drive transport voltage), along these lines conceivably dropping the weights on motor windings and VFD link.
Reflected wave transient voltages that are engrained on drive output cables and low voltage AC induction motors are modelled with an inflammation source of steep fronted dv/dt pulse waveforms from a Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) voltage source inverter. Motivation for system modelling arises from the necessity to associate reflected wave peak voltage and risetime with the dielectric insulation capability of both motor and cable. Simulations founded on an accurate system model also gives allowance of investigation into the consequences of changing wire gauge, motor hp, cable distance or inclusion of drive output filters.
However, there exists certain solutions for reflected waves;
2.1.3.1 Motor Enhancement
Betterment to the insulation within the motor will assist the motor to hold the potential amplitudes of reflected waves. This proffered solution is being given by motor developers but certainly heightens the cost and size of motors. As per installed motors, this answer requires their changing. As an encompassing statement, lower voltage motors have higher protection. 240 VAC motors already possess an enough amount of insulation, however 480 VAC motors generally have a significantly smaller gap and are much more prone to reflected wave troubles.
2.1.3.2 Shorten Cable Length
As the amplitude of the reflected wave is relative to the cable length, reducing this gap lowers the reflected wave amplitude which protects the motor. This solution is mostly not feasible given the demanded control vis-a-vis motor locations, building size and existing cable installation. This is exaggerated for the newest version of IGBT drives with rise times of 50 ns or less as spaces are curtailed to 30 feet or less, which is not practical in many buildings and industrial facilities.
2.1.3.3 Output Reactors
This reactors are sized inductors graded on the cable line at either the motor or drive end. If positioned at the motor end, the reactor insulates the motor from the high voltage and protects the motor. Whereas, the reactor and motor enhance the impedance at the motor end which raises the amplitude of the reflected wave, which may destroy the IGBT VFD. Other shortcomings include an enormous power outage, voltage drop leading to reduction of motor torque and the demand to size the reactor for each combination of drive, cable and motor. The power loss is essential as the VFD is utilized to boost energy efficiency. If positioned at the drive end, the reactor raises the cable impedance to compeer the impedance of the motor. This matching of impedances cut down the reflected wave amplitude. While power loss, voltage drop, motor torque reduction and sizing are still challenges, the reactor size is cut down as the reflected wave amplitude is reduced rather than boosted when equated to placing the reactor at the motor.
2.1.3.4 Filters
RIC (Resistor, Inductor, Capacitor) or LC filters with detached capacitors are utilised near the motor or VFD to make smooth the waveform and get rid of overvoltage reflected waves. These work well but are kind of overpriced, must be sized, create a voltage drop which cut down the motor torque and have an enormous power outage particularly for prominent horse power drives.
2.1.3.5 Line Terminating Impedance
RC terminating impedance devices contain resistors and capacitors. They are positioned near the motor and draw current in such a manner as to reduce the impedance at the motor. This agrees with the cable impedance to the motor impedance which reduces the reflected wave. Shortcomings include high power loss and accidental closure of the VFD in extended cable length situations as the VFD senses what shows to be a fault current.
2.1.3.6 Invention
The invention detaches reflected waves but in a standard twin design for all amperage grades for a given VFD system voltage level. This deletes the need for sizing the invention for each of the drive, cable, motor combination. The invention as well take off only the dangerous side of the reflected wave which is more than the DC bus voltage (i.e. the labelled peak voltage) of the VFD being used. This significantly reduces the amount of power loss in comparison to other solutions and gives rise to no voltage drop which reduces torque.
2.1.4 Installation safety and reliability
Establishment security and unwavering quality is guaranteed when a legitimately composed link framework is chosen. Picking a framework that can withstand challenges accumulated to unforgiving environment is hard and basic, and electrical difficulties, and in addition one that will give the most noteworthy level of security. Utilizing unacceptable link determination causes actuated voltage and framework disappointment and accordingly posturing danger to individual wellbeing and operational unwavering quality (Figure 3).
2.2 Impact of Cable design on Cable Life
Reflected waves resulted by a cable-to-motor impedance counterpart are very common in all AC VFD applications. The magnitude of the trouble relies on the extent of the cable, the rise-time of the PWM (pulse width modulated) carrier wave, the voltage of the VFD, and the magnitude of the impedance difference within the motor and cable.
Under the correct pre-conditions, a pulse from the VFD can add-up to a pulse reflected back from the motor due in a doubling of voltage level, which could destroy the cable or the features inside the drive. A solution is the utilization of an XLPE cable insulation, a material with high impulse voltage breakdown levels. This makes the system more immune to no-hoper from reflected wave and voltage spikes in a VFD application than a PVC material which is not encouraged in these applications.
2.3 Impact of Common Mode Noise in VFD
Radiated noise emanating from a VFD cable is a source of distraction with adjacent systems that is often easier to distinguish and corrected than common mode noise. In the latter, increased levels of noise across a broad frequency range, often from 60 Hz to 30 MHz, has the capacity to couple from the windings of the motor to the motor frame, and then to ground.
Common-mode noise can further capacitatively double from unguarded motor leads in a conduit to ground through conduit ground straps, corroborators or other adjacent, accidental grounding routes. This common-mode ground current is most especially troublesome because digital systems are prone to the high-frequency noise emanated by VFDs.
Signals prone to common-mode noise involves those from closed sensors, and signals from thermocouples or encoders, as well as low-level communication signals in general. Because this type of noise takes the path of lowest degree resistance, it finds unpredictable grounding paths that become intermittent as humidity, temperature, and load change across time.
2.4 Design objectives
The following are the design objectives of the EIA-485/MODBUS based BAS for residential buildings:
i. Energy conservation by switching off electric appliances (e.g. lights), when not required, based on occupancy, daylight and schedule.
ii. Security and surveillance of residents from intruders.
3 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
3.1 Noise immunity
In VFD cable the noise variation is proportional to the amount of varying electric current in it, as well as cable length. A Higher level of radiation noise is produced by higher current and/or greater length

iv. Remote operation (control) of any electric apparatus from a focal area inside of the building and additionally from outside the building
V. availability to the web to meet data, e-administration and correspondence needs of the occupants
vi. access to focal advanced amusement library
vii. Straightforward and easy to use Graphical User Interface (GUI)
viii. Sensible expense of the arrangement
ix. Straightforwardness, future adaptability and interoperability.
Major wired advances for BAS
Brief diagram of accessible wired system conventions in connection of BAS have been displayed beneath: BACnet The building computerization and control organizing convention (BACnet) was produced by American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), to explicitly address the requirements of building robotization and control frameworks of all sizes and sorts. While the information traded in BACnet is compacted in articles recovered by administrations calls, BACnet can promise the interoperability among gadgets of diverse suppliers.
Belden's exploration has demonstrated that the least impedance protecting and establishing frameworks are the most proper for VFD applications. This is because of the low impedance way accommodated regular mode clamor to come back to the drive. Foil shields are not adequately powerful to restrain the volume of bustle created by VFDs.
3.1 Low dielectric steady:
A vital property of the link protection is its dielectric consistent, or relative permittivity. In a link, the dielectric consistent ought to have a low esteem if the link is to have a low capacitance, and thus, minimize voltage reflections from the motor back to the drive. Obviously, protecting stifles commotion, however cross-connected polyethylene (XLPE) protection, with its low dielectric consistent, likewise helps to reduce clamor. A protection with a low dielectric steady, for example, XLPE, viably diminishes the energy spared in the link and hence expands the basic separations expected to ring up full (2x) reflected wave voltages. Therefore, a low dielectric-steady protection, for example, XLPE, permits longer link runs (Bottura et al., 2000).
3.2 Suppression of reflected wave voltage
Without a legitimate link plan, reflected waves brought on by a link to-motor impedance uniqueness can be risky in a VFD application (NATIONAL GRID, 2000). The degree of this test relies on upon: link length, rise-time of the beat width regulated bearer wave originating from the drive, VFD voltage, and the level of the impedance divergence between the motor and link. XLPE protection, a material with a high-drive voltage breakdown rating altogether lessens the danger of disappointment from reflected waves and voltage spikes. It is a great deal more hearty than (PVC is not suggested for VFD applications).
3.3 Thick protection divider
Thicker, modern evaluation XLPE protection gives: More steady electrical execution than PVC. Lower link capacitance, accommodating: – Longer link runs diminishes crest motor terminal voltages for amplified motor life – Greatly decreased probability of crown release – Reduced extent of standing waves – Increased effectiveness of power exchange from drive to motor
3.4 Low danger of crown release
Usage of XLPE security lessens the likelihood of either the link or the motor voltage going to its crown initiation voltage (CIV). CIV is the time when the air fissure between two transports in the link, or between two windings on the motor, isolates by method for electrical arcing. A crown discharge conveys to extraordinary degree high temperatures. In the event that the insurance game plan of the link is a thermoplastic material (i.e. PVC) the effect can be a direct result of untimely link burnout or a short out due to a consistent, kept condensing of the insurance. By uniqueness, the glow delivered from crown discharge outlines a thermally isolating seared layer on the surface of XLPE assurance in the links, staying away from further corruption.
3.5 Proper holding
Holding suggests how the fragments of building up systems are physically related or joined remembering the final objective to tie them together electrically. In a VFD link, this has recommendations for how well the shield and the ground conductors are joined with the motor case or drive fenced in zone, and finally, to earth ground potential. VFD links perform best when the grounds and shields are joined at the motor and drive, with no center holding of the ground to accomplish "skipping of centers" for the present tumult that has been gotten by the intentionally arranged ground and ensuring system inside (Bottura, 1998).
3.6 Stranding
Better VFD links have a propensity than be created with versatile high flex (high strand count) tinned conduits, while development level things tend to be made with 7 or 19 strands of revealed copper per development thing measures. The result is that the prevalent thing is more versatile, more thermally stable at affiliation centers, and as an outcome 8 times increment in conductor surface region, a great deal more alluring for the high recurrence drive yield segments
3.7 Insulation
While development level VFD things are by and large XLPE ensured (NORTHEAST UTILITIES SERVICE COMPANY, 2002), and continually sufficient from a security regard perspective, most development assessment things are proposed to agree to the base divider thickness necessities of UL1277 (Tray Cable) while world class VFD interfaces every now and again basically is over the foreordained slightest divider thickness to definitely decrease capacitance and extend permissible connection divisions.
3.8 Grounding and Shielding
A zone where again vital refinements exist between links (NFPA 780, 2008). Customarily improvement grade things will use a single helically associated copper tape in contact with 3 partitioned grounds which by and large incorporate 1 ground meeting at any rate the base essentials of the NEC. Better VFD links have a propensity than have gigantic plenitudes of copper at ground potential to best attract and contain ordinary mode streams. Predominant 4 transmitter links with foil curve and overpowering channels can have more copper in the ground and ensuring system than they do at circuit potential. This excess ground copper ensures the most lessened ground impedance, and the slightest essential mode current spreads. As link addition in size, the prerequisite for plenitude copper at ground potential is diminished, and the extent of ground potential copper to circuit transmitter copper can be a tiny bit at a time diminished with growing link sizes without decreasing link execution. As the prerequisite for wealth copper reduces with link size, it is convincing to move premium links to plots with twofold copper tapes (for most compelling surface zone and HF execution) and full size practically identical symmetric revealed copper grounds (Hauges et al., 1988). Suppositions contrast among VFD makers, yet Belden's investigation suggests that the benefits of symmetric arrangement to keep away from inside made ground streams begins to be a diagram component for motors above 50hp with long runs, however is consistently more basic in motors more foremost than 100hp.

3.9 Cable Temperature
As an example, Table 1 shows that 8 AWG copper wire with 90°C (194°F) insulation has an ampacity of 55 amps when operated in an ambient of 30°C (86°F) and there are three or fewer current-carrying conductors contained within a common raceway or cable. When there are 4 to 6 conductors in a common raceway or cable, the ampacity of the 8 AWG 90°C (194°F) conductor must be adjusted or reduced in accordance with Table 1 to 80%, or be chosen to give a decent seal as the cable goes through roundabout openings and association points and provided that this is true, consider a cable having a sign combine fundamentally bundled inside the same external coat as the drive cable. As a rule, the drive producer can give the particular data expected to settle on choices about gage size and cable run length. Note: if a cable length is too long, it will act like an expansive capacitor that must be energized when the framework is construction grade items.

44 amps. At the point when there are 7 to 9 current-conveying 8 AWG 90°C (194°F) conductors in a typical raceway or link, their ampacity must balanced or diminished to 70%, or 38.5 amps. At the point when there are 10 to 20 current-conveying conductors in a typical raceway or link, the ampacity must balanced or lessened to half, bringing about an ampacity of 27.5 amps for every 8 AWG 90°C (194°F) protected conductor (IEEE Std 1100, 20
4 CONCLUSION
In exceedingly commotion vulnerable situations, for example, those where the drives are joined straightforwardly to modern system communication, the drives are mounded in close closeness to instruments or controllers, or the cabling might keep running close sensitive devices like weight cells or transduces, it is reasonable to consider the kind of VFD link being used. World class VFD link with tremendous plenitudes of ground potential copper tends to be fundamentally more powerful than copper-poor In commotion fragile circumstances give strong thought to the decision of a foil interweave development with overhauled essential mode current control. A round link should turn on. After that basic stage, electrical imperativeness perpetually pumped into the link from the drive can surge into the motor, possibly realizing motor bearing wear out or damage to windings. Picking all that much arranged, solid VFD links ensures motor uptime and relentless nature of the VFD system besides offers protection to any fragile instrumentation and adjoining control structures.
