Efficiency appraisal of 22.9kV tree retardant power cable

22.9kV 트리억제형 전력케이블의 성능평가

XLPE compound have used for insulation of 22.9(kV) power cable. But tree retardant power cable has developed and is going to br used commonly. TR XLPE compound retard production and growth of water tree. In this paper, tensile strength, elongation at break, degree of crosslinking, lightning impulse test, AC breakdown test, cyclic aging for 14days and accelerated water treeing test of TR XLPE insulated power cable were examined according to the KEPCO buying spec. & AEIC CS 5-94 standards. before and after As the result, tensile strength, elongation at break and degree of crosslinking test results of TR XLPE insulation were higher than requirement values. After accelerated water treeing test for 120 days, 240 days and 360 days, AC breakdown voltages were not decreased for accelerated water treeing aging duration
