Abstract

In order to evaluate the water ingress to URD power cables with the jacketing materials and the cable structures, water vapor transmission (WVT) tests were carried out by the ASTM and the TEPCO's specification. All polyolefin compounds showed the superior water suppression to conventional PVC. Especially, linear polyethylenes have very low WVT. In case of cable structures, Allaminate cables showed the significant water suppression due to the watertight structure. Accordingly, it can be concluded that jacketing material and cable structure play an important role in the water suppression of URD power cables.
