Abstract

In this paper, breakdown strength and time to breakdown are experimented under semiconducting layer/needle electrode in XLPE which is used for power cable insulator. Shape and scale parameters of obtained data are estimated using 2-parameters Weibull distribution. Life-time coefficient(n-value) using shape parameters for breakdown strength and time to breakdown tests is estimated. n-value of 1000 hour aged XLPE showed higher value than that of virgin XLPE. Increase of n-value is estimated by the stability due to removal of by-product and residue gas in XLPE by heating.
