Abstract

The main fault in this interface is that power cable insulating materials are mainly composed of a double layered structure, XLPE/EPDM laminates in cable joint. In this paper, we instituted the interface of normal and degassed XLPE/EPDM and then investigated the breakdown and conduction characteristics as a function of heat treatment time. The results showed that conduction and breakdown strength was influenced by volatile crosslinking by-products which remained inside the insulating material during the production of XLPE and EPDM, especially during heat treatment process. And micro voids and surface roughness also influenced the conduction current and breakdown strength.
