Analysis of XLPE cable parameters subject to thermo aging

Modern marine vessels use electrically driven rudders; cruise liners, gas carriers, tankers are equipped with Azipod systems manufactured by the Swedish-Swiss company ABB. Gondola-type propellers make it possible to break ice when vessel is moving astern, therefore such used for work on Northern Sea Route, in particular, working Yamal LNG project. The 22MW propulsion system rotates 360° and enables difficult maneuvering without assistance of tugs. When operating propellers, powerful diesel generators installed ship. For transmission electricity, ship cables used, which subject increased requirements that meet standard International Electrotechnical Commission. XLPE or EPDM insulated cable lines; industrial production these carried out Russian Federation. In course study, a method auditing state insulation has been considered based an assessment change tangent angle dielectric losses process thermal aging PvBPng(A)-HF brand. Measurements losses' have Tangens-2000 parameter meter.
