송전 용량 증대 및 초고압 케이블 컴펙트화를 위해, 최근 고내력 케이블에 관한 연구가 전세계적으로 활발히 진행되고 있으며, 이러한 추세에 대응코자 당사에서는 고내력 케이블 개발에 있어서 첨가제 투입에 따른 절연 능력 향상에 관한 연구를 진행하여왔다. 본 연구에서는 케이블 절연 능력 향상을 위하여 반도전 컴파운드에 첨가제를 투입하여 반도전과 절연의 계면 특성을 향상시킴으로 절연체의 절연파괴능력 향상시키고자 하였으며, 계면 특성의 향상은 절연 파괴능력 향상으로 이어짐을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 상기의 연구결과에 따라 제조된 케이블은 기존 케이블과 비교하였을 때 매우 우수한 절연파괴 특성을 나타냄을 확인하였으며, 그 결과 절연 두께를 비약적으로 감소시킬 수 있었다. 본 논문은 상기 절연 성능 향상에 관한 메커니즘 및 IEC 62067에 따라 진행된 초고압 XLPE 케이블의 type test 결과를 중심으로 기술하였다.

This paper presents few case studies of state diagnosis of XLPE cables using very low frequency techniques. The power cables of 22.9kV which have installation fault were assessed using VLF technique in addition to other techniques like insulation resistance and DC voltage withstand test. From the experimental results, The dielectric loss($tan{\delta}$) values of degradation of the cable(joint, knife, needle) at $U_0$ were 5.839, 5.526 and 6.251, respectively and all values were "further study advised". VLF PD measurement was also found defective portion. These method was effective in defect to fault in the degradation of the cable. However, the breakdown did not occur in the degradation of the cable because of properties of XLPE insulation. Few case studies of using VLF $tan{\delta}$ diagnosis for fault are measured and analyzed. The $tan{\delta}$ values at $U_0$ were "further study advised" or "action required".

In this paper, we researched the dielectric properties and voltage dependence on slice XLPE sheet from 22[kV] and 154[kV] power cable. We studied effects for impurities and water for semiconductor shield through a dielectric properties experiment to estimate performance of insulating materials in power cable. Capacitance and tan${\delta}$ of 22[kV], 154[kV] were 53/43[pF] and $7.4{\times}10^{-4},\;2.1510^{-4}$. In these results, the trend was increased with the increase of temperature. The tan${\delta}$ of XLPF/ semiconductor layer was increased as compared with that of XLPE. Dielectric properties reliability of tan${\delta}$ was small.

High Voltage cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables are widely used in a thermal power plant. These cables had been in service for 26 years. The insulation condition of six 6 kV XLPE cables was estimated by insulation diagnostic analyzer (IDA) with voltage amplifier. IDA was measured dissipation factor and capacitance of the whole cable as a function of frequency and voltage. This system measures in the frequency range from 0.1 to 10 Hz at each voltage level. Six XLPE cables are judged good condition, but three cables are analyzed at an aged condition.

Measurements of AE signals caused by partial discharges were performed by using an ultrasonic measurement technique to diagonise the electrical treeing deterioration in XLPE cable. We also examined the partial discharge magnitude and AE signals(peak-to-peak) with the increase of the deterioration time. From these results, it was found that AE signal due to partial discharge can be greatly detected at the peak value of positive polarities prior to the breakdown voltages, and the magnitude of AE signals was closely related to the current pulses by the increase of deterioration, and it appeared that AE signals(peak-to-peak) was proportional to partial discharge magnitude. Attenuation and time-delaying characteristics of ultrasonic signals propagated in various polymers sample by using ultrasonic oscillation and receiving systems are also reported as a basic data of ultrasonic measurements in XLPE cable.

A diagnostic test of 15.4kV cross-linked polyethylene(XLPE) ultra high voltage power cables from generator in the Soyanggang hydro electric power plant was conducted over 3 months, beginning April 2001. According to the results, in the case of the power cables from generator 1, there was little possibility of proceeding rapid1y to failure or defect because the data from diagnosis doesn't indicate any failure, deterioration or partial discharge. However, in the case of the power cables from generator 2, the. polarization index show a slight abnormal condition of the insulator that is not severe, and the deterioration was also identified as not severe. However, the partial discharge had an abnormal condition which was severe.

This paper introduces experimental investigates of an accident pattern for the distributing XLPE cable terminations considering PL law environment. The influence of defects such as thickness and length decrease of XLPE, the impurity on XLPE and the gap between stress-con of housing and semi-conductor on insulating properties of the termination have been studied. The thickness and length decrease of XLPE decrease ac breakdown strengths. Dielectric breakdown traces of XLPE that is damaged by knife displayed other shape. The gap of between housing and semiconductor deteriorates dielectric strength of XLPE seriously.

To investigate the partial discharge and electric field distribution in cable joint parts, we measured the partial discharge and electric field in specimen. The specimens which cross-linked polyethylene(XLPE) and ethylene propylene diene ethylene(EPDM) are used to insulating material for underground cable md cable jointing parts. The polymers are used to insulating material in switchgear which is a kind of transformer equipment and in ultra-high voltage cable. Its using is increasing gradually, the electrical insulation properties are not only excellent but also mechanical property is excellent. And because it is possible to be made void of several type in insulator while it is produced, which the electrical field distribution is changed by void, it has a critical influence to insulator performance. The underground cable is connecting by the jointing material, insulating breakdown and the electric ageing which are caused by several mixing impurity and the damage of cable insulator layer, which reduced the life of cable while intermediate joint kit is connected. Therefore, the computer simulation is used to estimating insulator performance, XLPE is used to the insulating material of ultra-high voltage cable and EPDM is used to insulator layer in joint material kit, and which are produced as specimen. And it is analyzed the electric field concentrating distribution and partial discharge by modeling of computer simulation in void and cable joint kit.
