In this paper, to detect and observation the void discharges pulse signal, AE signals and tree growth characteristics in case the high voltage is applied to a XLPE sample for a power cable. We also examined the partial discharge current pulse and AE signals with the increase of the applied voltage in XLPE insulation. The experimental results show that a branch-type tree grows in the presence of the voids, and a bush-type tree grows in the absence of the voids in both samples. A rate of tree growth increases abruptly in proportional to the deterioration time in the presence of the of the voids, but in the absence of the voids, a rate of tree growth decreases as time goes by and finally a breakdown occurs. The frequency band of AE signals that are generated from the partial discharges in a XLPE sample, one of solid dielectric materials, is about 1.0[MHz].

This paper describes switching surge analysis for reclosing decision in 345kV combined transmission line with XLPE power cable. Reclosing operation should be decided based on the detailed technical analysis in combined transmission line because this line includes power cable section which is week on insulation. Insulation of power cable can be breakdown at the week point in case of reclosing moment. Therefore the detailed analysis has to be carried out by considering several conditions such as length ratio of power cable section, arrestor, inserting resistance, charging rate, grounding resistance, etc.. On the other hand sheath voltage on IJ(Insulated Joint) is analyzed to check dangerous condition on cable cover. Analysis is performed by EMTP/ATP. Analysis results show that reclosing can be operated as the single line-to-ground fault occurs on overhead line in 345kV combined transmission line, if the inserting resistance is considered before the operation of main circuit breaker.

In this paper, each specimen blended at weight proportions of 80% HDPE to 20% EVA, 70% HDPE to 30% EVA, 60% HDPE to 40% EVA, and 50% HDPE to 50% EVA was manufactued respectively. FE-SEM, DSC and XRD analysis were carried out as the means of structural and chemical analysis. From the results of DSC and XRD analysis, the lower contents in blended specimens were, the higher melting temperature and crystallinity of main crystal were. It seems that the phenomena was attributes to themoplastic interpenetrating network effect(TPIPN) in which EVA having low melting point penetrated into HDPE. Also, from the decreasing tendeancy of melting point as a function of blend ration, it was confirmd that above resins have compatibility. The thermal and mechanical performance of proposed insulator were compared with conventional XLPE, main insulating material of CV cable. Also, validity was proved by superior and inferior factor respectively.

This paper presents compact low frequency ultra-wide band(UWB) sensor design and studying of the partial discharge diagnosis by sensing electromagnetic pulse emitted from the partial discharge source with new designed UWB sensor. In this study, we designed new type of compact low frequency UWB sensor based on microstrip antenna technology to detect both low frequency and high frequency band of partial discharge signal. And experiments of offline PD testing on in medium voltage (22.9kV) underground cable and mention the comparative results with the traditional HFCT as a reference sensor in the laboratory. In the series of comparative test, the calibration signal injection test provided with conventional IEC 60270 method and high voltage injection testing are included.

Many kind of factors have influence on the electrical properties of polymer such as mechanical stress, impurity, additives, chemical blend, interfacial phenomena and so on. In this study, we lay emphasis on interfacial phenomena which is important part in insulating design of power cable. The electrical conduction characteristics of XLPE film are investigated as a function of different electrode materials in MIM Interfaces.

We studied about electrical, chemical and mechanical characteristics of XLPE by dicumyl peroxide(DCP) and trimethylolpropane triacrylate(TMPTA) content ratio. DCP content was changed from 1.0 to 2.5phr increasing 0.5phr. TMPTA content was changed 0.5 to 1.5phr increasing 0.5phr. Thermal analysis (DSC) was carried out in order to observe tendency of 79 according to DCP and TMPTA content. In experimental results, content DCP 2.0phr and TMPTA 1.0phr has highest breakdown strength. Content DCP 2.0phr and TMPTA 0.5phr has lowest dielectric constant. Tendency of Tg did not affected by DCP and TMPTA content. Breakdown strength and Specific inductive capacity was measured.

XLPE 절연 전력케이블의 제조과정에서 발생하는 가교부산물을 제거할 목적으로 14주기노화를 실시하며, XLPE 절연체에 발생하는 수트리를 가속 발생 성장시킬 목적으로 가속수트리 열화를 실시한다. 22.9kV 트리억제형(TR CNCV-W) 케이블에 대하여 14주기노화 전과 후, 120, 240, 360일 가속수트리(AWTT) 후의 파괴전압을 분석하였다. 14주기노화는 상승효과와 감소효과가 비슷하게 작용하는 것으로 나타났으며, 240일 AWTT 이후에 노화가 가속되는 것으로 나타났다.

This study designed a new type of loop antenna that is able to detect partial discharges based on microstrip line technology. In the diagnosis of power cables, partial discharge signals are generally produced at a frequency range less than 100MHz because high frequency PD signals are lost along a propagation path in such cables. The new type of loop antenna sensor has been studied using simulation software known as CST microwave studio version 5.0. In partial discharge measurement experiments, a commercial HFCT sensor was used as a reference sensor. Several experiments were made over HFCT and loop antenna sensors for detecting partial discharges on 22.9kV MV XLPE cable. In this study, we showed the loop antenna designed in this study that can be applied as a commercial HFCT sensor.

Degradation diagnosis of XLPE insulated URD cables was accomplished through out new method, which was to be analyzed by non-electrical experiments and synthesized by degradation points. To supplement this method, It was also carried out using several electrical analyses. Tan$\delta$ had commonly a different tendency by means oftemperature and frequency and also appeared higher at the outer part rather than innerpart of insulator. PD-q increased generally in proportion to the applied voltage andshowed regular patterns in relation to the thickness of insulator. Breakdown voltageswere measured and breakdown lifetimes were predicted appling for Weibull distribution function. As a result, breakdown lifetime in failure cables was shorter up to$\fraction one-third$ times than that in general cables. It was very available to estimate cable degradation using above method, but it needs further study on XLPE insulated URD cables in order to improve reliability.

With a development of modern industry, demand for electric power is rapidly increasing and the capacity of power transfer is required to become bigger and bigger. At power station, the high-voltage power cable is used as the only method in order to transfer electric power. In this paper, we have analyzed the deterioration characteristics of 6.6kV power cable systems in operation. For the time duration of 2000 days, we have measured the cable in operation in order to extract the data for the deterioration characteristics. By analyzing the data by means of several steps of filtering processes, we could obtain the linear relations of insulation resistances as a function of time. Furthermore, we can verify that the progress characteristics in deterioration process of 6.6kV power cable systems follows the process of heat deterioration.
