In this paper, we present results of the dielectric breakdown test in various 6.9kV power cables used in power plants. The dielectric strength of the different conditioned cables was measured by placing the sliced cable sections in silicone oil bath with needle electrode. The results were analyzed by the Weibull distribution. The shape and scale parameters of the Weibull distribution for each cable sections under test were calculated and evaluated. Collected data base was applied to deterioration trend analysis and lifetime guide was also proposed.

본 논문은 전력케이블의 열화진단을 위한 기초연구로서 6.6kV XLPE 케이블에 직류전압을 인가한 후에 절연 저항, 직류 누설 전류, 잔류 전압 비율, 킥 현상, 성극 지수 등을 각각 측정하였다. 본 논문은 전력케이블의 열화 현상을 파악하고, 예방진단을 위한 기초적인 Data를 얻기 위하여 직류 누설 전류의 특성을 파악하였다. Virgin케이블에 있어서 절연성능은 절연 저항의 특성은 거의 $\infty$를 나타내지만 잔류 전압의 특성은 케이블의 길이와 인가되는 전압에 따라서 큰 변화를 나타내고 있다. 이같은 잔류 전압의 특성은 케이블내의 공간전하의 형성과 크기에 따라서 의존되는 것으로 판단되며, 반면에 측정의 분위기에 많은 영향을 받는다. 이와같은 측정결과를 기초로 하여 계속적으로 Virgin케이블을 흡습시키면서 각 절연특성의 변화를 평가할 계획에 있다.

In this paper, We intended to evaluate characteristics of XLPE/EPDM interface which exists in the cable joint. Because the fault was mainly occurred in this interface. We investigated breakdown characteristics of XLPE/EPDM double layered insulator as a funtion of temperature, pressure, annealing time, kinds of jointmaterial. It was shown that breakdown strength of XLPE/EPDM insulators is higher that of XLPE/XLPE or EPDM/EPDM

국내 지중송전선로는 주로 XLPE케이블과 OF케이블로 구성된다. 1971년 154kV급 OF 케이블이 최초로 한전에 의해 상용운전에 들어간 후 XLPE 케이블 지중선로가 1983년부터 병용운전 되고 있으며 OF케이블의 경우 절연유의 사용으로 인한 화재의 위험과 환경오염 문제 등으로 인하여 점진적으로 XLPE케이블로 대체되는 추세에 있다. 하지만 내전압 시험, 절연저항이나 누설전류 측정, $tan{\delta}$ 측정 등으로 진단이 가능했던 OF케이블과는 달리 XLPE케이블의 경우 종래의 시험을 통한 진단은 한계가 있고 부분방전을 통한 진단이 가장 효율적인 진단방법으로 제시되어 국내외 XLPE케이블의 진단을 위해 운영되고 있으며 보다 정확한 PD측정을 위한 연구가 계속 진행되고 있다. 지난 10년여간의 국내외 연구결과 XLPE케이블에 대한 PD 측정기술의 정확성은 상당히 향상되었고 그 결과물로서 수많은 폭정 장비와 기법이 개발되어 오늘날 널리 보급되고 있다. 하지만 여전히 측정된 Data에 대한 해석은 일부 전문가들에게 조차 복잡하고 어려운 일로 남아 있다. 자칫 그릇된 해석은 향후 큰 사고로 이어질 수 있으므로 선로 운영자의 입장에서는 측정결과의 신뢰성에 민감할 수밖에 없다.

Transmission equipment is mainly used for the XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation cable for ultra high voltage power to minimize power loss. The experiment examined the partial discharge characteristics according to the insertion of the bar electrode and needle electrode into the XLPE specimen and the air voids. XLPE insulation cable manufactured by T. company and tungsten electrode material by K. company were used for specimens, by adhering conductive tape on the semi-conductive material of the lower electrode of XLPE specimen with the dimension of $16{\times}40{\times}30$ [mm] was used as negative electrode. In order to investigate the PD with ${\phi}$-q-n of XLPE specimen according to the electrode shape and the size of air voids. we examined the PD by varying the voltage after applying voltage of 3~20 kV on the electrode. Therefore, it was confirmed from the result of PD characteristics of specimen that the larger the air void than the gap between electrode (+) and electrode(-), the larger effect on the discharge when the bar electrode and needle electrode inserted into XLPE, and the closer the distance between the insulation and the needle electrode, the faster insulation breakdown.

For investigation of electrical properties of XLPE cable termination, we prepared a thermal contraction type kit and 6.6kV XLPE cable. The cable termination that have simulated defect by badness construction have been manufactured and their insulation characteristics such as ac and impulse withstand test have been measured. The influence of defects such as thickness decrease and heating time have been studied. When thickness decreased 1mm, the decreased of AC breakdown voltage value is not very distinctive. However, when thickness decreased 2mm, the insulation AC breakdown voltage value was very low down to 43kV. When approved heat for 300s than 60s, AC Breakdown voltage value appeared high. And also, after insulation breakdown took place, the sample was observed before and after disassembly, and the insulation breakdown hole was observed by means of optical microscope.

In this paper, we researched the dielectric properties and voltage dependence on slice XLPE sheet from 22[kV] and 154[kV] power cable. We studied effects for impurities and water for semiconductor shield through a dielectric properties experiment to estimate performance of insulating materials in power cable. Capacitance and $tan{\delta}$ of 22[kV], 154[kV] were 53/43[pF] and $7.4{\times}10^{-4}$, $2.1510^{-4}$. In these results, the trend was increased with the increase of temperature. The tan6 of XLPE/semiconductor layer was increased as compared with that of XLPE. Dielectric properties reliability of tan6 was small. Also, To improve mean-life and reliability of power cable in this study, we have investigated chemical properties showing by changing the content of carbon black that is semiconductive additives for underground power transmission. Specimens were made of sheet form with the three of existing resins and the nine of specimens for measurement. Chemical properties of specimens was measured by FT-ATR (Fourier Transform Attenuated Total Reflectance). The condition of specimens was a solid sheet. We could observe functional group (C=O, carbonyl group) of specimens through FT-ATR. From these experimental result, the concentration of functional group (C=O) was high according to increasing the content of carbon black. We could know EEA was excellent more than other specimens from above experimental results.

본 논문은 초고압용 XLPE 케이블의 절연/단도전의 계면특성 향상을 위해 계면활성제 부가를 통한 절연파괴전압 향상에 관한 것으로, 계면구조의 변화와 이에 따른 절연파괴전압의 상관성을 밝히고자 하였다. 이를 위해, 계면확성제의 함량에 따른 절연/반도전 계면에서의 결정 미세구조(라멜라 밀도와 분자배향)를 스침각 X-ray와 TEM분석을 통해 밝히고, 이를 절연파괴 특성과의 상관성을 밝혔다. 연구결과, 사용되는 기저고분자와 첨가제 간의 정합성과 최적의 첨가제 함량이 절연재료의 파괴강도에 큰 영향이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 즉, 과도한 첨가제의 부가로 인하여 계면으로 이동한 계면활성제 간에 인력으로 뭉치게 되고(aggregation), 결국 국부적인 도메인을 형성하여 절연파괴 개시부로 작용할 수 있게 된다. 이를 스침각 X-ray (Gl-SAXS)를 통하여 라멜라 밀도 및 배향을 정량화 할 수 있으며, 이는 XLPE 전력케이블의 반도전 재료의 처방 및 계면특성 정량화 기법으로 유효하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

This paper is aimed at determining the e-field distribution by apply voltage of air void, which can be generate air void in the XLPE cable for ultra high voltage. E-field distribution had an effect in XLPE due to the type and position of void, compared and studied. This method of analysis is based on the quasi-static electromagnetic 3D simulation program by boundary element method (BEM): Applied AC 3[kV], discretization of 2000 elements, 4 angular periodicity, The result of experiment indicate that E-field distribution appeared the highest levels on the void position of electrode 2[nm] outer boundary and shape of the smallest inner angle in the void. This will serve to explain the XLPE cable degradation studied of possible, connected cable variation of position and shape of void effects to e-field concentration.
