At present the under ground power transmission systems have installed until 154KV XLPE power cable in Korea But, the large capacity underground power transmission systems have been required gradually with the increasing demand of electric power. Therefore, our company has developed 345KV XLPE cable. This paper describes the estimate details of the insulation thickness according to weibull plotting for 345KV XLPE power cable.

The mechanical characteristics of XLPE cable is basic to the installation design. Especially, snake and offset design require accurate coefficient of linear expansion($\alpha$), Young's modulus(E) and bending stiffness(El) of the cable. In this paper, $\alpha$, E and El of 345kV XLPE cable was measured by experimental setup, and verified by measuring axial tension and lateral displacement in snake installation.

XLPE is widely used as a main insulation in EHV power cables, deeply connected with thermal stress. In this study, the thermal history of XLPE insulation was examined using DSC(Differential Scanning Calorimetry). The principle is on the basis of the phenomenon that crystal in polyethylene is rearranged as it is annealed near/below the melting temperature. From the result, it was possible to define accurate temperature which was really applied on the XLPE insulation and this method was assured as a useful tool in characterization of thermal history in XLPE cable insulation.

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.

In this paper, the coefficient of friction betwee and sheath in 345kv XLPE cable was measured the simulated inclinated condition of You-Youngdeungpo transmission line. The phenomena of slipping down the simu inclination was investigated theoretically usin measured data and was analyzed from experim result. The measured and analyzed result were conside be as a reference data for real installation of XLPE Youngseo-Youngdeungpo transmission line.

Degree of crosslinking of insulation is very important factor that is determined characteristics of XLPE insulated power cable. Increase of degree of crosslinking is closely related to increase of mechanical characteristics of XLPE insulated power cable. In this study, mechanical characteristics of XLPE insulation for degree of crosslinking was analyzed tensile strength and elongation of insulation. As the result, mechanical characteristics of insulation for degree of crosslinking was divided three cases.

345kV XLPE Cable system was constructed between Yeongseo-Yeongdeunpo at first in Korea. XLPE cable have the advantage of OF cable. it is to raise the power transmission capacity and reduce the power loss and expenses. We also applied many new technology in this project at first. One is pre-fabricated joint which can be easily assembled in the field without any hand-skill, another is PD(Partial Discharge) test for after laying test. Especially, PD measurement for after-laying test was performed to evaluate the quality of the cable joint and termination. Through the good experience of this project, we have gotten the international competitiveness of power business.

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.

In the nation, 154kV XLPE cable with an insulation thickness of 23mm have been used for transmission lines. The thickness is designed by old parameters which were determined by Kreuger, Oudin et al. in 1960s. By the way, the manufacturing technology has been developed. Especially in extruding and curing process we are using a triple common extruding head and applying gas-curing process. It allows the quality of XLPE cable improved. The paper evaluates the AC minimum insulation breakdown strength of XLPE power cable using model table. We can verify the uplifted insulation quality. And we expects the cable insulation thickness to be reduced applying the new parameter to the cable insulation design.

In this paper, we studied the properties of a cable insulate capacity between surfaces with the variation of the interfacial breakdown. As a function of silicon oil, the variation of pressure and interfacial roughness were investigated. The insulate trouble of a power cable is out of the interfacial parts, which breakdown the insulate breakdown capacity in a power cable. In this study, the analysis of electric field and the phenomenon of interfacial breakdown were improved by increased interfacial pressure, decreased surface roughness, and oil. And It was shown that interfacial breakdown LSR-XLPE insulators is higher that of EPDM-XLPE.
