It is important to mechanical properties of dielectric paper and cable to optimum electrical insulation design of HTS cable, because the cable has experience of mechanical stress, such as tensile stress, bending stress. Also, it is operated at cryogenic temperature. From the results, it was observed that the tensile strength of PPLP in liquid nitrogen was high more than that of air, but tensile strain decrease sharply. According as tensile strength increases, the breakdown stress of PPLP in liquid nitrogen is decreased. Because PPLP was deteriorated by microcrack and tensile strain. According as bending radius multiple is decrease, the ac and impulse breakdown stress of mini-model cable is sharply decreased.

Research on the mechanical properties of the dielectric paper and mini-model cable are important for optimum electrical insulation design of HTS cable, because the HTS cable experience of mechanical stress, such as tensile and bending stress. Also, it is operated at cryogenic temperature. Therefore, this paper discusses the experiment results on the AC and lighting impulse breakdown characteristics, partial discharge inception and extinction characteristics, and external shape change of the insulation layer according to bending strain of the mini-model cable.

The electrical insulating design is important to realize a HTS power cable because the cable is operated under the high voltage environment. For the insulation design of a HTS power cable, it is necessary to investigate the AC, impulse breakdown and partial discharge(PD) inception stress of liquid nitrogen/LPP composite insulation system. Based on these results, the electrical insulation of a HTS power cable is designed and Mini-model cables are manufactured. The manufactured Mini-model cables are evaluated that AC, impulse withstand voltage, breakdown and partial discharge inception stress and analyzed characteristics insulation of HTS cable bending condition according to this paper. From these tests, the AC, impulse withstand voltage test and partial discharge inception stress is satisfied "standard technical specification of KEPCO" in Korea and the breakdown voltage was 120kV.
