The Study on SVL and Earth Connectivity Conductor in Under Ground Cable System

지중송전계통에서 SVL 및 병행지선 설치 검토

The role of SVL (Sheath voltage limiter) in cable system is to protect the PVC(or PE) jacket in case of transient overvoltage resulting from lightning and other causes. But, in Korea, there is so many SVL failure cases resulting from power frequency overvoltage. So, the paper investigates the phenomenon of failure SVL comparing with other countries' system. Finally, the installation of ECC(Earth Connectivity Conductor) in under ground cable system is presented to remove the possibilities of SVL thermal runaway due to the power frequency overvoltage.
