Abstract:
The present invention relates to a power cable and, particularly, to an extra-high voltage underground or submarine cable. Particularly, the present invention relates to a power cable in which an insulation layer, itself, has high dielectric strength, an electric field to be applied to the insulation layer is effectively buffered, degradation of the insulation layer can be prevented during a cable connection step such that the life of the power cable is extended and simultaneously, the thickness of the insulation layer is minimized such that an outer diameter of the cable is reduced, thereby enabling flexibility, ease of installation, workability and the like of the cable to be improved.
Abstract:
A transmission system includes an electrical conductor and an insulation layer circumferentially covering the conductor. The layer includes at least two layer sections including a plurality of sublayers concentrically orientated, whereby each sublayer comprises one or more strips arranged beside each other in a circumferential direction. Gaps are formed between adjacent edges of strips and each gap is covered by a strip of an adjacent sublayer. Each of the strips includes one or more sheets arranged beside each other in a radial direction. Each sheet includes an insulation material including cellulose paper and polymer. At least one sublayer includes at least one sheet of said cellulose paper, and at least one sublayer including at least one sheet of said polymer, and whereby the insulation layer is impregnated.
Abstract:
A high voltage direct current cable includes at least one electrical conductor, at least one semiconducting layer, at least one stratified insulation made from windings of at least one paper-polypropylene laminate, the stratified insulation being impregnated with at least one electrically insulating fluid having a kinematic viscosity of at least 1,000 cSt at 60EC, wherein the laminate includes at least one paper layer having an air impermeability of at least 100,000 Gurley see. Such a high air impermeability of the paper layer(s) remarkably reduces the swelling of the polypropylene layer(s) during impregnation with a high viscosity insulating fluid, thus preventing delamination, up to the end of the impregnation process for the whole stratified insulation.

Abstract:
A method for manufacture of an electric device having at least one conductor and a porous, fibrous and/or laminated electrically insulating dielectric system comprising a solid electrically insulating part impregnated with a dielectric fluid and a porous, fibrous and/or laminated body for use in an electric device produced with the method. The method comprises the steps of: providing a conductor and a porous, fibrous and/or laminated structure of a solid electrically insulating material associated with each other, pretreating the porous, fibrous and/or laminated body with a gelling additive such that the body comprises the gelling additive which imparts a high viscosity and elasticity to the fluid at conditions for which the device is designed to operate under, impregnating the pretreated body comprising the gelling additive with the dielectric fluid, wherein the gelling additive upon impregnation is brought into contact with the dielectric fluid and the gelling additive, at least in part, is dissolved by the fluid such that following the impregnation the dielectric fluid is gelled.
Abstract:
A solid DC cable is made of a conductor having multilayered insulating layer around the outer circumference of the conductor. The insulating layer has a layering configuration selected from one of the following arrangements: (i) a main insulating layer and a low resistance tape layer, where the low-resistance tape layer contains carbon paper that has a volume resistivity which is smaller than that of the main insulating layer; (ii) a main insulating layer containing kraft paper, and a low-resistance insulating layer containing a low resistance kraft paper having a resistivity smaller than the kraft paper of the main insulating layer; (iii) a main insulating layer containing a composite tape, where the tape is contains a laminate of a low-loss plastic film and kraft paper, and a low-resistance insulating layer containing kraft paper having a resistivity lower than the main insulating layer; or (iv) a low-resistance tape layer containing carbon paper described in (i), a low-resistance insulating layer containing the low-resistance kraft paper described in (ii) and a main insulating layer. The low-resistance insulating layer or the low-resistance tape layer is positioned above the conductor in a region where the pressure of the insulating oil becomes negative when a voltage load is cut off.

Electrical cable for high and very high voltages includes a plurality of conductors, at least one semiconductive layer, a stratified insulation impregnated with an insulating fluid and an external metal sheath. The insulation is constituted by a paper/polypropylene/paper laminate, wherein polypropylene has been subjected to a treatment such as to allow the laminate to swell up by less than 5% after immersion in decylbenzene at 100.degree. C. for at least 3 days.

A DC OF cable has its main insulation composed of a composite insulation tape comprising a low dielectric loss film and kraft paper (PPLP). 1-10 sheets of kraft paper are wound on the PPLP main insulation as a layer on the inside and/or the outside thereof.
Abstract:
A high voltage direct current cable includes at least one electrical conductor, at least one semiconducting layer, at least one stratified insulation made from windings of at least one paper-polypropylene laminate, the stratified insulation being impregnated with at least one electrically insulating fluid having a kinematic viscosity of at least 1,000 cSt at 60EC, wherein the laminate includes at least one paper layer having an air impermeability of at least 100,000 Gurley sec−1. Such a high air impermeability of the paper layer(s) remarkably reduces the swelling of the polypropylene layer(s) during impregnation with a high viscosity insulating fluid, thus preventing delamination, up to the end of the impregnation process for the whole stratified insulation.
