XLPE/SXLPE 블렌드의 수트리 성장 및 절연파괴 특성

Water tree growing and Electrical breakdown Characteristics of XLPE/SXLPE blends

Crosslinked polyethylene/silane crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE/SXLPE) blends were prepared by a twin screw extruder and their water tree growing and electrical breakdown characteristics of XLPE were improved by the addition of SXLPE, when samples were crosslinked only by the thermorolysis of DCP (dicumyl perosxide). However, steam curing process was not good for water tree characteristics. It was also found that the rate of water tree growing of XLPE/SXLPE blend increased when the content of SXLPE was 50 %. AC breadown strength slightly increased by the addition of SXLPE to XLPE when samples were crosslinked only by the thermorolysis of DCP.
