In order to improve the reliability of XLPE cables, it is necessary to understand the mechanism of electrical and water tree degradation. Especially, electrical tree initiation and propagation are important in XLPE cable insulation. This paper deals with the changes of electrical properties of XLPE cable insulation with electrical tree degradation. To understand the electrical properties of XLPE insulation, specimens were prepared by 22.9kV distribution cable and made in a type of block. Ogura needles having tip radius of 10${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were inserted into each block pieces. AC voltages of 8kV, 10kV and 12kV at 60Hz were applied to needle. We investigated the relationship between electrical properties(PD quantity, tan$\delta$ and DC current) and the growth of electrical tree. The electrical properties of the specimens were measured from initiation of tree to breakdown and their characteristics were analyzed.

Since the successful development of 154kV XLPE cable in 1983, its commercial use has been drastically expanded due to technical advantages and high performance of insulation, Futhermore, the large conductor size of 1200ml and 2000ml has been mainly employed in Korea for the purpose of meeting the bulk power demand in urban area. However, it is highly required to solve the problems which can be occured at the level of the joints between the cables of different type such as between existing OF and XLPE cables.

The thermal history of XLPE insulated cable during heating cycle voltage test specified by IEC 840 was examined by DSC(differential scanning calorimetry) method, of which the principal is on the basis of the phenomenon that the crystals in polyethylene are rearranged as it is annealed near/below the melting temperature. From the result, it can be estimated that XLPE insulation near the conductor was exposed at the temperature of about $100^{\circ}C$ with the electrical stress through the test.

XLPE cable accessories are mainly consisted by the combination of various insulating materials such as XLPE cable insulation, rubber, epoxy, etc. It is important to investigate the dielectric and breakdown characteristics of the interfaces between various insulating materials. In this paper, by testing and measuring the breakdown strength, dissipation factor, volume and surface resistance and conduction current of specimens, we report the dielectric and breakdown characteristics of interfaces between various insulating materials.

We studied the partial discharge detecting by sensing electromagnetic wave emitted from the partial discharge source in the MV XLPE cable with the new type of patch antenna sensor. In this study, we design new kind of Patch antenna and make many experiments compare with the existing HFCT sensor on MV XLPE cable in the laboratory. According to our experimental results our new sensor can defect pure PD and wider bandwidth 20MHz to 70MHz than HFCT and can easily localized manually on the cable.

This paper describes insulation design and its reliability evaluation of ${\pm}80kV$ HVDC XLPE cable. Recently, the construction of HVDC transmission system, which is combined overhead line with underground cable, has been completed. This system is installed with existing 154 kV AC transmission line on the same tower. In this paper, the lightning transient analysis is firstly reviewed for selection of basic impulse insulation level and nominal insulation thickness. Then the electrical performance tests including load cycle test and superimposed impulse test based on CIGRE TB 496 are performed to evaluate the reliability of newly designed HVDC cable. There is no breakdown for ${\pm}80kV$ HVDC XLPE cable during electrical performance test. Finally, this system is installed in Jeju island based on successful electrical performance test (Type test). After installation tests are also successfully completed.

This paper studies on the behaviors of decomposition products from DCP according to various drying conditions of DCP. The decomposition products formed during crosslinking reaction have an harmful influence on XLPE. Especially explosive gases like methane which is one of decomposition products may cause explosion accident. We used the Gas Chromatography and Gas sensor for decomposition gases analysis, FT-IR for investigating the behaviors of decomposition products remained in XLPE.

With the aim of developing XLPE insulation for extra high voltage cable, we investigated the morphology of cross-linked polyethylene. We used a kind of base materials and additives, and controlled curing condition and amount of additives. The effect of addition of additives on morphology of XLPE such as lamellar density, orientation and additive layer were analyzed using TEM analysis. We applied this result to diffused additive amount was analyzed using FT-IR analysis, and the change of microstructure as the degree of additive diffusion was analyzed using TEM analysis.

We constructed an on-line PD monitoring system for the 380kV U/G Cable project at the Riyad 9012 substation in Saudi-arabia. The system will be monitoring the termination of the two 380kV XLPE Cables to prevent unexpected failure of the cable insulation. The system had been tested in the laboratory and on-site for detection of various PD signals and reliability of operation. The system distinguish the existence and nonexistence of the partial discharge and then judge the source of partial discharge using automatic PD pattern recognition software.
