The document describes the quality control process for cable manufacturing. It involves three stages of testing: raw material testing, in-process testing, and final stage testing. In-process testing checks parameters at various stages of production like wire drawing, stranding, insulation application. Tests include elongation, tensile strength, thickness. Final testing includes voltage testing, partial discharge testing, and measuring conductor resistance to ensure quality before shipping. Tolerance limits for various cable components are also defined. The quality control process aims to thoroughly inspect cables from raw materials to final product.
The ISO 9000 family addresses various aspects of quality management and contains some of ISO’s best known standards. The standards provide guidance and tools for companies and organizations who want to ensure that their products and services consistently meet customer’s requirements, and that quality is consistently improved.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

ISI 2024: Application Form (Extended), Exam Date (Out), EligibilitySciAstra
The Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) has extended its application deadline for 2024 admissions to April 2. Known for its excellence in statistics and related fields, ISI offers a range of programs from Bachelor's to Junior Research Fellowships. The admission test is scheduled for May 12, 2024. Eligibility varies by program, generally requiring a background in Mathematics and English for undergraduate courses and specific degrees for postgraduate and research positions. Application fees are ₹1500 for male general category applicants and ₹1000 for females. Applications are open to Indian and OCI candidates.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
Toxic effects of heavy metals : Lead and Arsenicsanjana502982
Heavy metals are naturally occuring metallic chemical elements that have relatively high density, and are toxic at even low concentrations. All toxic metals are termed as heavy metals irrespective of their atomic mass and density, eg. arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, thallium, chromium, etc.

Quality Control (Q.C) – Checks
In QC department there are three sections to check the products staring from
the raw material used to produce the cable and during all various process of
production till the final stage to ensure the quality of the products and they are
confirming to the required specification before it shipped to customer
In Process Test Final Stage TestRaw Material
3. 3
1st Stage – Raw Material Test
•All raw materials are brought into the stores “to be tested” area and placed into
the warehouse for QC to process and test according to materials book & work
instruction for each material. These are then reported on and either accepted or
rejected as below chart explains in detail.
2nd Stage – In Process Test
The purpose of the “In Process Checks” is to maintain production standards
and ensure the compliance of product under manufacture is falling within the
tolerances set out & manufacturing specification
4. 4
Wires Drawing Process
Here following parameters have to be checked during this process to ensure a
quality wires are produced
1. Elongation test for 10 % of the drawn wires
2. Tensile Strength. for 10 % of the drawn wires
3. Wire Diameter for 10 % of the drawn wires
4. Ovality (roundness) for 10 % of the drawn
wires
5. 5
Stranding Process
Here the tests carried out are to check both the actual cross section area of
particular size as specified by standard & customer requirements through.
1. Resistance measurement
2. Weight measuring: One meter sample of the stranded conductor
shall be taken from the end of every drum & weighing for cross
check purpose only.

there are two types of screening
(1) Copper Tape – thickness of tape and the % overlap of the tape
after being wound onto the cable.
(2) Copper Wire – actual number of wires and the diameter of
each copper strand
Screening
12. 12
Assembling
here are again a number of tests carried out to measure the
following
1) Overall physical diameter of assembled cable
2) Assembling Lay length of the cores
3) Filler (Polypropylene) – area of the filler
13. Inner Sheath
This is to measure the physical dimensions of a cut sample taken from
a manufactured cable, prior to final acceptance.
1. The thickness of the inner sheath
Armouring
This deals with the physical (mechanical) protection of the cables, this is done
in three different methods. Here the physical properties of the armouring are
tested.
1. Steel Wire – actual number of strands of the wires armour and wires
diameter
2. Steel Tape – the physical thickness of the tape and % overlap of tape
3. Aluminium Wire – actual number of strands of the wire armour and diameter
of wire
14. Final Sheathing
Here the physical properties are measured to check compliance
1. Thickness of outer sheath
2. Cable marking (Embossing) or printing
3. Spark test (e.g. for every 1mm thickness, this relates to a 6kV
electrical charge)
4. Colour of outer sheath
5. Length marking – stamped physically onto every 1 meter of length
sequentially
*Hot Set test
This is a test comprising of the following procedure, to test the cross
linkable (or curing) properties of the XLPE insulation,
1. A sample is cut from cable under test
2. The insulation is then stripped from the cable (XLP part)
3. Shaved down into a set thickness (i.e. 0.8 – 1.7 mm thickness)
15. 4. A “dumbbell” sample is stamped out for further testing.
5. Then a standard measured distance of 20 mm is marked off
6. When the total surface area is calculated and weight of 20N/cm2 is
selected
7. Then weighted load is attached to the sample and then placed in an
oven at 200’C for fifteen (15) minutes
8. Then the elongation (stretched) is measured and the elongation
percentage calculated a maximum of 175% is the maximum is allowed.
Note: For easy & fast procedures of performing the hot set test, loads for
all expecting thickness were calculated and prepared as weights pieces &
kept ready for using for this test as follows:
9.807Newton = 1000 g
1.000 Newton = 101.98 g
0.640 Newton = 65.26 g

)A) High Voltage Test 3500Volts )3.5kV) for 5 minutes
A voltage of 3500 volts is passed between a single conductor and the
neutral (or earth), for a period of 5 minutes respectively. A voltage of 6.2kV
is also passed between the phases to test the insulation between the
different phases respectively.
Low Voltage Cables
20. 20
If this process of testing the individual core are successful passed and
there are no indication of any breakdown then the cable proceed to the
next test, which is
(B) Measuring the Conductors Resistance:
The conductor resistance of each cutting length on drum shall be
measured to verify the length of the cable as well as
1. HV test 3.5Uo voltage test is applied between the conductor & metallic
screen of each core for 5 minutes
2. Conductor resistance measurement (same as explained in LV cables)
3. Partial Discharge Test (PD test)
)B) Medium Voltage Cables
21. Partial Discharge test
The partial discharge phenomenon is known as a partial breakdown of
insulation. There are three type of PD which are:
1. Internal PD
2. Voids PD
3. Surface PD
The partial discharge is leakage charges from the conductor to the earth
through weak point in the insulation such as Voids, Contaminations in the
insulation, cavities in insulation or surface damage.
The purpose the PD test is to test if the minutist particles or voids are present
inside the XLPE insulation. This process is to measure the leakage of the
charge (Q) from the conductor to the metallic screen, through these weak
points. This test is measured in Pico-Column; the international standard is
anything ≤10 pC (10-12
Columns)
22. Conductor Insulation Insulation’s Screen

For testing MV or HV cables electrically, cable terminals must be prepared as
shown in the above figure.
23. U is referred to any one of the following terms:
1.Line Voltage
2.Line to Line Voltage
3.Phase to Phase Voltage
U0 is referred to any one of the following terms:
1. Phase Voltage
2. Phase to neutral Voltage
3. Line to neutral Voltage
Voltage test for MV cables is 3.5 x U0, of the subject cables rated voltage
For example an 11kV cable, this means that U of this cable is 11kV,
therefore the U0
for this cable is:
3
11kV
=6.35kV
Thus the test voltage is 3.5x 6.35kV = 22kV test voltage rating to be applied for
5 minutes

MATERIAL OVERUSAGE
* Look for the tolerance –range for each production step, also for different
machine. (Quality Department). If the tolerance-range is too high, look for
the reason (bad material, old machine, bad measurement-equipment…
and
“make it better”
* Reduce set-up-length
* It will be helpful, that all necessary process data are written down for the
personal at the machine.
* Reduce scrap.
37. IN DESIGN DEPARTMENT:
* Design department is one of the important departments to influence the
cable cost.
*The design engineer must create cheapest cable design solution in
accordance with the customer specification.
* Look for “gaps” in the specification, it means, what is not required in the
specification.
During our 2 weeks discussion with many colleagues from
Production, quality, technical, planning and financial,
We found many points you can change it.
80% of your orders are with 8 Types:
The last 2 days we have made a cable re-design with the designer colleagues in
accordance the new points, Also 2 offers for 220 kV-cables.
38. 1) Reduce nominal thickness for inner and outer semiconductor layer.
2) Change the copper tape screening from 1 tape to 2 tapes.
3)Reduce the filler material in 3-core-cable with round conductor.
4)Fix the assembled cores with a tape as open helix.
5)In many specifications there is no average thickness required for bedding,
separation sheath. Therefore reduce the thickness.
6) Indicate in design sheet the different value: Nominal, Minimum, Average &
Practical Value.
7) Copper wire screen in mostly cheaper than copper tape screen.
8) Produce conductor for XLPE cable =10 kV only with dies.
9) Remove all fillers in 1 kV sector conductor – cables.
10) Reduce master batch colour in 1 kV cable with skin insulation
11)Manufacturing insulation for 1kV cable only in tube extrusion.
12) Try to use for 1kV cable as bedding a tape (instead extruded bedding).
13) Flat wire armouring is less in cost than round wire armouring. Check to
improve your armouring machine for flat wire.
14) Check your PVC- compound to increase the filler
