The insulation of cable which used for Ultra-High Voltage(UHV) underground power transmission requires excellent insulation capability for high voltage. The typical insulation materials are used XLPE, EPR, etc, but insulation efficiency of these is affected by void or alien substances, existed at the inside of insulators. In this paper, the partial discharge patterns of the defects within insulation cable are observed and analyzed. In this test, void, fiber and metal inclusions which possibly exist in cables, are simulated and investigated the patterns of partial discharges for each models Also the relations between calculated field strength and the insulation breakdown voltage. The experiment shows distinct partial discharge patterns in accordance with the kinds of defects within Insulation cable.

The insulation materials of cables used for underground power transmission requires a higher insulating capability. and the most popular method to examine the cable is partial discharge test due to applying variation voltage. In the thesis. air void. silicone oil. of which may possibly exist real cables. are simulated by Electra 2D program. Also the relations between calculated field strength and the void defect type in the cable joint materails. In the modeling. electic field inner to the cable joint material composed by XLPE and EPDM is modeling simulated. We obtained the electric field distribution in void due to two conditions.

In this study, The new type of loop antenna which detects the partial discharge was designed based on microstrip line technology. In diagnosis of power cable, partial discharge signal generally occurred at the frequency range lower than 100MHz because high frequency PD signals could be lost along the propagation path in the cable. The new type of loop antenna sensor has been studied by using Simulation software named CST microwave studio version 5.0. In partial discharge measuring experiments, commercial HFCT sensor was used as a reference sensor. Several experiments were made over HFCT sensor and loop antenna sensor in detection partial discharge on MV XLPE cable of 22.9kV. In this study, we have shown our loop antenna sensor can apply as a commercial HFCT sensor.

In order to prevent the failures of underground distribution power cables we need to measure insulation condition in the field. Until now we used DC high voltage as a power source for the cable diagnosis but it was not proper method to the XLPE insulation cables because DC high voltage can affect sound insulation and can't diagnose exactly insulation degradation. For these reasons we imported isothermal relaxation current measurement system called by KDA-1 from germany but it's reliability did not proved in our URD cables. DC voltage decay measurement system was developed by domestic company but they don't have field experience. In this paper we tried to prove reliability of these two systems in the field. Through the field diagnosis and Ac breakdown test the two systems showed similar results.

배전 케이블 부분방전 측정에서는 외부노이즈, 코로나가 동반되어 검출되고 있다. 특히, 단말부의 부분방전측정에서는 부분방전 현상이 크게 발생하여 측정될 경우 다른 상에서도 유입되어 검출되는데 코로나나 외부의 노이즈가 크게 유입될 경우 진단의 어려움이 있다. 더불어 각 상의 위상을 직접검출이 어려운 송배전 케이블의 단말에서는 유기된 신호의 상을 찾는데도 어려움을 주고 있다. 이러한 문제를 반영하여 현장 측정이 용의하도록 이동형 포터블 진단장치를 개발하였다. 3개의 HFCT 센서를 사용하여 3상을 동시 측정할 수 있도록 하였다. 전원 분압 트리거 회로와 전류 변류 트리거 회로를 사용하여 위상 분석을 병행하였다. 실선로의 배전 케이블 부분방전 진단의 효율적 수행을 위해 개발된 본 장비를 현장 적용하였으며 내장된 PRPD 분석법이 가능하였으며 S/W 노이즈 게이팅을 적용하여 다른상에서 유기되는 신호를 제거하여 진단결과의 신뢰성을 높일 수 있었다.

From the instant of installation and operation, power cables start deteriorating. Cable systems can be maintained not only by monitoring the insulation status of the insulation layer and oversheath, but also the insulation status of the terminal and junction in high-voltage power cables. When the cable system (the cable itself and cable junctions combined) deteriorates, fire accidents happen due to dielectric breakdowns. We have invented a device to monitor the deteriorating status of cables, and installed it at Korea Western Power Co. Ltd. located in Taean, Chungcheongnam-do Province. In this paper, we present the results obtained using our device, through analysing and calculating the standard deviation of leakage current from cable insulators attached to the cables. When the standard deviation of analysed leakage current falls below a critical value, a cable system is deemed to be operating safely. But when the standard deviation of analysed leakage current is larger than the critical value, the insulation status of the terminal and junction in the cable system is considered to have seriously deteriorated. The terminal and junction in the relevant system should then be replaced preemptively in order to prevent blackout accidents of cables caused by the suspension of power supply.

Crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated cables are now widely used all over the world for extra-high voltage underground transmission systems. Prefabricated type (compression type) joint has developed in order to shorten the assembly time and lower the possibility of contamination at site by many companies in the world. For outdoor termination, to control the electric field distribution as uniform as possible, especially for the use of extra-high voltage system. much of products are adopting the oil-impregnated condensor cone type instead of electric field control element which uses the permitivity of it only (not capacitance). For Gas-immersed termination, dimension of outer insulation bushing was determined by IEC Publication 859. The highest voltage of underground power cable system is 345kV now, in Korea. We have much of experiences of the development of prefabricated type accessories for CV cable systems (154kV, 161kV, 230kV level). So it was possible to inspect the proto type of accessories for 345kV CV cable system and seems that the need time for the development of products is reduced.

In this study, we have investigated electrical properties of semiconductive materials for power cable caused by copper tape shield structure. Volume resistivity of specimens was measured by volume resistivity meter after 10 minutes in the pre-heated oven of both 23 [$^{\circ}C$] and 90 [$^{\circ}C$]. From this experimental results, the volume resistivity had different properties because of PTC/NTC tendency at between 23 [$^{\circ}C$] and 90 [$^{\circ}C$].

In this paper, we measured PD signals from artificial surface defects and corona discharges under laboratory circumstances like the fields using both HFCT-sensor and UHF-sensor for MV grade XLPE cable with AMP, spectrum analyzer and oscilloscope. Also, detected signals were analyzed via PRPDA system in this paper. As a result, in this case of HFCT-sensor, the amount of background noise are larger than as compared to UHF-sensor. There is needed some hardware or software or software algorithm removing background noise effectively for diagnosis the underground power transmission cable in the case of HFCT-sensor.
