Chemical structure and electrical characteristics of 5 commercial crosslinked polyethylenes (XLPE) used as insulating materials for medium voltage distribution power cables in Korea were investigated. It was found that each XLPE shows different properties depending on the type of XLPE. Chemical structural irregularities of pellets change considerably by crossliking reaction, with some irregularities being disappeared after crosslikeng reaction. It was also found through a solvent extraction study that additives such as crosslinking agent and antioxidants act as major source retarding water tree growth. Low molecular weight polyethylene chains plays a different role in water tree growth of XLPE.

This paper introduces experimental investigates of an accident pattern for the distributing cross linking-polyethylene(XLPE) cable terminations considering product liability(PL) law environment. The influence of defects such as thickness and length decrease of XLPE, an 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. Breakdown traces of XLPE that is damaged by knife displayed ellipse shape. The gap of between stress-con and semiconductor deteriorates dielectric strength of XLPE seriously.

초고압 XLPE(가교 폴리에틸렌) 절연 케이블의 절연사고를 방지하기 위해서는 여러열화 조건하에서 절연체의 수명을 예측하는 것과 아울러 절연체(XLPE)의 성능향상을 모색하는 것이 바람직하다. 이러한 노력의 일환으로 절연재료의 열화현상을 화학반응의 법칙으로 가정한 Arhenius 모델과 같은 열화이론이 확립되어지고 있다 하지만, 실제 케이블을 만드는 과정에서 절연체의 성형 조건에 따른 절연 성능 평가와 관련된 연구는 그렇게 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 XLPE의 성형 조건(가교, 건조, 냉각)에 따른 화학적 물성의 변화와 절연성능 사이의 상관관계를 알아보기 위해 LDPE에 가교제(DCP)를 첨가한 컴파운드를 이용해 만든 몰드 시편의 물성을 DSC, 가교도 분석 및 전기 트리 개시 전압을 측정해 살펴보았다. 그 결과 가교나 건조 조건에 비해 냉각 조건에 따른 가교 폴리에틸렌의 결정화도가 트리 개시전압에 보다 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, it is attempted to distinguish the charged particles and to judge the polarity by the use of Thermally Stimulated Current(TSC) and Temperature Gradient Thermally Stimulated Surface Potential Measurement(TG-TSSP)with experimental insulation material XLPE-EVA for power cables which is made by blending cross-linked polyethylene(XLPE) and ethylene-vinylacetate copolymer(EVA). In addition, it is performed to investigate the effect of EVA blending. From the experimental results, it is known that for the case of XLPE-EVA blended experimental material, the generation of space charged electric field is not obtained in the high temperature region due to the obatruction of the injection of trapping carrier by the electron and the positive hole.

In this work, simultaneous measurement such as change distribution and electrical conduction of maleic anhydride grafted XLPE was investigated. Heterocharge was found in XLPE and it decreased with increasing MAR graft ratio in XLPE-g-MAH. Conduction currents also decreased with increasing MAR graft ratio. The relationship between the space change behavior and the electrical conduction characteristics in XLPE-g-MAH is discussed.

The cross-linked polyethylene(XLPE) has been most widely used for the power cable insulating layer because of its outstanding properties such as electrical and mechanical properties. However, XLPE is unrecyclable when disposed after replacement and demolishing because it becomes thermosetting through cross-linked process. Recently, because of growing social awareness of recycling and eco-friendly, there is growing need for the development of recyclable insulating materials that can replace XLPE. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to compare the electrical properties of XLPE and recyclable thermoplastic insulating materials. To this end, we compared and analyzed the electrical properties of XLPE and group N2 through AC breakdown test, accelerated water treeing test and accelerated life test(ALT).

Since the first underground transmission line of Korea was installed between Danginri and Yongsan substations in 1974, the two types of underground transmission power cables, oil-filled and XLPE, have been applied for underground transmission lines. As the manufacturing technologies of XLPE cable have been improved and the simplicity of installation and maintenance has been focused on, the installations of XLPE cables have been largely increased since the mid 1990's. For the first time, in Korea, the 345kV XLPE cable was installed between Youngseo and Youngdeungpo substations in 2003, June. So, this paper introduces the project profile, the design of cable and its accessory, the cable system design, installation and site test.

In this study, in case the lead sheath of XLPE cable (radius : 15cm, inner conductor radius : 5cm, insulation paper raidius : 6cm, dc voltage : 1MV) is harmed, so that breakdown process by inhomogeneous eletric field is simulated with Finite Element Method. The result of simulation showed that defect of lead sheath layer caused breakdown.
