There are roughly a hundred types of cables in power plants. The distribution of circuits in a nuclear plant is comprised of 20% instrument cables, 61% control cables, 13% AC power cables, 1% DC power cables, and 5% communication lines. In the nuclear power plant, medium voltage cables are generally included in the scope of systems reviewed for safety and are included in a plant's maintenance program. Medium voltage cables provide power to many critical components in plants, including feed water pumps, circulating water pumps, and condensate pumps. Among these cables, high temperature sections of cables feeding electrical power to the circulating water pump and the condenser extraction pump were found. The evaluation for these cables is performed to find the maximum allowable current and temperature. The result shows that the load current flowed about 85% of the allowable current ampacity, and the temperature of conductor at full load current did not exceed the limited temperature. Therefore, existing cables for circulating water pump and condenser extraction pump system are going to be used during design life.

Power cables made of high temperature superconductors (HTS) are considered as most advanced applications of superconductivity for electro-energetics. Several cables made of the First Generation (1G) HTS wires have been produced and installed to electrical grids worldwide. Power cables made of the Second Generation HTS wires (2G or Coated Conductors) are in active development. Most basic principles of HTS power cables development have been published in many works since 90-ties. In this Review we would like to present our new developments mostly directed to 2G HTS compact power cables. We are presenting the methods to optimize a design of 2G AC compact power cable providing uniform current distribution among cable layers and the production technology approaches to implement such a design. AC losses measurements in such cables and other test methods are described. Some problems of the development 2G HTS power cables with small diameters are discussed. We presented as examples designs, developments and test results of two major coaxial cables designs: single-phase (cable core and a shield) and three-phase (triaxial: with three coaxial phases).

Oil-filled power cables and XLPE power cables have been globally applied for extra-high-voltage underground power transmission lines. The application of XLPE cables for the transmission lines have been largely increased at the domestic and overseas projects because of some issues. O.F cables have some week points, related with the issues of the environmental pollution and the needed maintenance work, even though they have been applied for several ten years and their reliability has been proven. Meanwhile, the demands on XLPE power cables increase as their manufacturing technologies have been improved and their simplicity of installations has been focused on. In Korea, for the first time, the 275kV XLPE cable is to be applied at an overseas power plant project. This paper introduces the project profile, the design of the XLPE cable and its accessories, the cable system design and the installation design.

It becomes difficult and high in cost to construct new ducts and/or tunnels for power cables in metropolitan areas. This paper presents possible applications of an HTS superconducting power cables for transmitting electric power in metropolitan areas. Reflected were its important distinction such as compactness for installation in underground ducts and considerably high efficiency compared with present underground cables. In this paper, system modeling, transmission capacity and voltage class of compact HTS cables which should be applied to existing ducts were reviewed. Based on this, the following items on urban transmission system are examined. (1) A method of constructing a model system to introduce high temperature superconducting cables to metropolitan areas is presented. (2)The maximum outer diameter of HTS cables to be accommodated in exiting ducts is calculated based on the design standards for current cable ducts. (3)The voltage level that can be accommodated by existing ducts is examined.

A number of the power cables arc installed in the containment of the nuclear power plant. According to the IEEE Standard 835, the calculation of the temperature rise shows the operation possibility of power cables in the containment. In this paper, we expect the integrity of the power cables by using the calculation of the temperature rise and the development of the lifetime extension of the cables.

This work is to study the effect of load current on 6.6 kV power cables in operation. In order to figure out the relationship between load current and temperature of the power cables, we have developed measuring equipment for insulation resistance, temperature, and current tested on 9 cables at power station, Western Power Co. Ltd. The cables used in our test were in operation for the last 18 years. Our research over a year showed that the remaining lifetime of 8 cables was more than 20 years. The remaining lifetime of one cable was about 16 to 18 years.

발전소에서 전기를 생산 및 공급하기 위하여 고전압 전력 시스템이 동작하고 있다. 고전압 시스템은 저전압 시스템과 비교하여 구조가 복잡하고, 규모가 크고, 가격이 비쌀 뿐만 아니라. 사고 발생시 저압 시스템을 포함하는 대부분의 설비들에 정전사고가 발생하여 막대한 경제적 손실을 초래한다. 설계부터 시공 및 관리를 더욱 철저히 해야 한다. 설치환경 및 사용 조건 부하량 등에 따라 차이가 있겠지만, 증설과정, 부적절한 설계 등으로 인하여 케이블의 단면적이 부족할 경우가 발생하며, 운전 전류에 의하여 초과된 허용온도는 케이블의 열화 상태를 초래한다. 우리는 케이블의 사고를 체계적으로 감시 및 예방하기 위한 측정 장비를 개발, 한국서부발전 주식회사(Korean Western Power Co. Ltd.)에 설치하여 활선 케이블을 진단하였다. 이 논문에서 우리는 케이블의 부하전류를 측정하고, 측정된 부하전류에 의한 온도 특성을 예측 연구한 결과를 제시한다. 이 온도 값을 해석하여 케이블의 열화에 미치는 영향을 예측할 수 있다.

XLPE cables are being used more widely all over the world as extra-high voltage transmission lines owing to the superior characteristics compared to OF cables. In view of the worldwide trend of utilizing high stress cables, we developed the accessories for 230kV XLPE cables which have smaller insulation thickness than that of present cables. The performance of the newly developed 230kV cable and its accessories has superior inital characteristics. As a result, the improved reliability of 230kV XLPE cable system has been obtained. This paper describes the major design concept and the test results of development procedure.

국내의 전기수요량은 매년 증가하고 있다. 발전소에서 전력을 생산하고 공급하기위하여 채택된 모든 장비들은 신뢰할 수 있는 상태에서 완전하게 동작하여야 한다. 생산된 고전압의 전기를 공급하기 위한 장비로서 6 kV CV 단심케이블이 사용되고 있다. 케이블 제작사는 케이블의 동작 수명이 약 30년 이라고 공개적으로 알리고 있다. 그러나 설치된 케이블이 동작을 시작함과 동시에, 성능이 악화되는 열화과정이 시작된다. 동작 중인 케이블의 열화 상태로 인한 신뢰성을 진단을 받지 않았기 때문에, 케이블은 예측하지 못하는 시점에서 언제든지 파괴될 수 있다. 우리는 케이블의 사고를 체계적으로 감시 및 예방하기 위한 측정 장비를 개발, 한국서부발전 주식회사(Korea Western Power Co. Ltd.)에 설치하여 활선 케이블을 진단하였다. 이 논문에서 우리는 케이블을 구성하고 있는 도체와 표면온도를 측정하였고, 타사의 데이터와 비교하여 서로가 일치한다는 연구결과를 제시한다.
