Abstract

In this paper, in order to analyze the characteristics of degradation by salt water with insulation cover and OC wire(outdoor cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire) used in power receiving system, an experimental apparatus has been designed and fabricated. An insulation cover and OC wire were installed in an experimental apparatus, and degraded in each case of 2%, 5%, 10% salinity during 12 weeks. An optical microscope was used to observe a changing process of sample surface, and an electrical safety was analyzed by measuring dielectric breakdown voltages of samples. As salinity increased, so ununiformity of sample surface increased. The breakdown wasn't produced to 50kV about samples regardless of salinity, testing period.
