Polyolefins have been widely used in the electrical insulation and cable industry in recent years. One of the main usages of these materials is dielectric insulation in coaxial cables. Low attenuation and high signal transmission speed are among the desired features in coaxial cables. The role of polyethylene foam on signal transmission speed in the coaxial cables is the main focus of this stud...

SUMMARY This paper provides a deep insight into fault location on long Submarine Power Cables. Several field results on submarine power cable faults are provided. For land cables the main focus is on the electrical and thermal design of cable insulation and on the electro-thermal and thermo-mechanical design of cable accessories, in order to grant sufficient endurance performances and reliabili...

High voltage (HV) cables are widely used in the transmission and distribution of electrical energy. The design manufacture these with great precision importance for power systems. Mistakes made during manufacturing phase defects that may occur structure cable material can cause premature aging continuous malfunctions cables. Factors such as air gaps, foreign substances, moisture insulating punc...

The market application value of power cables has gradually emerged with the development various industries. Cable laying is a basic project in construction grid and key part engineering construction, content which related to safe reliable operation entire grid. With process cable, metal sheath subjected structural damage such as extrusion deformation. This paper takes 110kV cable line an exampl...

A semi-conductive shielding layer plays an important role in the uniform electric field for a high-voltage cable. The electric-thermal properties of and insulation directly affect overall performance physicochemical performances composites are firstly analysed herein. Furthermore, discussed. experimental results show that thermal conductivity commercial is about twice layer, owing to effect car...

The statistical initiation and propagation characteristics of electrical trees in cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables with different voltage ratings from 66 to 500 kV were investigated under a constant test voltage of 50 Hz/7 kV (the 66 kV rating cable is from UK, the others from China). It was found that the characteristics of electrical trees in the inner region of 66 kV cable insulation ...

Partial Discharge is a phenomenon that indicates cables or joints deterioration in an electrical transmission or distribution system. Mechanical damages, voids or contamination in the insulation of cables or joints may contribute to the degradation thus emission of PD is present. The electromagnetic pulses emitted may represent the condition of the insulation. Current PD detector designed using...
