In this study, The water tree characteristics were investigated when crosslinking coagent was added in XLPE/EnBA blends. When XLPE was blended with EnBA, there was a decrease of water tree length as an increase of nBA contents in XLPE/EnBA20 blends. The effect of crosslinking coagent. A was better than those of other crosslinking coagents B, C and D in water tree retardation. In case of XLPE/EnBA/Crosslinking coagent blends, water tree length was increased as the crosslinking coagents were increased from 0.2 to 2 phr in 2.0 phr DCP content. To clarify the effects of crosslinking coagent, the DCP contents were changed from 1.5 to 2.0 par in the same crosslinking coagent contents. Then, there was a decrease of water tree length as an increase of crosslinking coagent contents in 1.5 and 1.8 phr DCP contents.

Electrical properties such as space charge distribution and electrical conduction of XLPE/VLDPE blends were studied. When the VLDPE is blended, residual charge inside XLPE increases. In case of electrical conduction characteristics, there were no changes in electrical conduction mechanism, space charge limited conduction. XLPE/VLDPE blend including crosslinking coagent showed relatively small current density. It might be due to the carbonyl group in crosslinking coagent.

It was investigated that space charge characteristics of EPDM/XLPE laminates as a function of interfacial condition. There were no effects in charge accumulation characteristics at EPDM/XLPE laminate samples pasted treated silicone oil and silicone grease. But when the crosslinking coagent (TMPTA) was pasted in laminate samples, there was no space charge in interface of EPDM/XLPE laminate. There were no effects in the laminate sample pasted silicone grease dissolved crosslinking coagent. In the coupling agent pasted EPDM/ XLPE laminate sample, space charge was accumulated in XLPE side caused by coupling agent.

It was investigated that space charge characteristics of EPDX/LPE laminates as a function of interfacial condition. There were no effects in charge accumulation characteristics at EPDM/XLPE laminate samples which were pasted with silicone oil and silicone grease. But when the crosslinking coagent (TMPTA) was pasted in laminate samples, there was no space charge in interface of EPDE/XLPE laminate and no effects in the laminate sample pasted with silicone grease dissolved crosslinking coagent. In the coupling agent pasted EPDhyXLPE laminate sample, space charge was accunlulated in XLPE side caused by coupling agent.

The main faults at cable joint are mainly originate from double layered structure, which is composed of different kinds of materials such as XLPE/EPDM laminatest. In this paper, to investigate the effect of interfacial condition and coagents on dielectric strength of XLPE/EPDM, we prepared XLPE/grease/EPDM, XLPE/grease + coagent/EPDM laminates. Dielectric strength of the XLPE/EPDM laminates pasted with the grease compounded crosslinking coagent (TMPTA, TMPTMA) is higher than that of the laminates paseted with the grease without coagent.

DC breakdown characteristics and formation of space charge at the interfaces of crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) /ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) laminates were studied. Effects of silicone grease and some chemicals such as crosslinking coagent on the interfacial charge were also studied. Interfacial charge develops at the interface of XLPE/EPDM laminates, which changes depending on heat treatment conditions and types of chemicals coated at the interface. Some chemicals such as maleic anhydride reduce the accumulation of interfacial charge in the XLPE/EPDM laminates. Breakdown strength of EPDM/XLPE laminate through the interface was highest when silicone oil was pasted in the interfaces. Interfacial breakdown strength decreased with the increase of MAH content.

Electrical properties such as space charge accumulation and water tree length and physical properties such as tensile strength, elongation and degree of crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE)/ethylene n-butyl acrylate copolymer (EnBA) blends were investigated. It was found that electrical properties such as water tree length grown at a specific condition and AC breakdown strength are improved by blending the XLPE with EnBA. The EnBA having higher nBA content showed the better electrical properties in XLPE/EnBA blends. A further improvement of these properties was achieved when a small amount of crosslinking coagent was used in the preparation of XLPE/EnBA blends.
