Definitions

  • This invention relates to extruded-type high voltage cables, and in particular to those cables including an insulation shield formed of semi-conducting tape.
  • a high voltage cable to which the present invention is applicable typically comprises a metal conductor which is surrounded by a semi-conducting conductor shield, a body of polymeric insulation, a semi-conducting insulation shield, a metallic shield and an overall covering such as polyethylene or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
  • the insulation shield may be, for example, a body of semi-conducting compound which is extruded over the insulation. It is particularly advantageous, however, for this insulation shield to be formed of semi-conducting tape which is applied helically over the insulation. Such a tape-type insulation shield offers the advantage of being easily stripped back when it is desired to splice or terminate an end of the cable.
  • a tape-type insulation shield such as the one above described, is typically applied in a manner such that the edges of adjacent windings of the tape overlap over about 10 to 50% of the area of the tape. Gaseous voids facing the insulation are thus formed under the tape in the region of these overlapped edges.
  • An insulation material in accordance with the present invention should have an apparent dielectric constant higher than that of the insulation.
  • the high apparent dielectric constant together with the semi-conducting nature of the tape results in considerably decreased voltage stresses in the gaseous voids at the overlapped edges of the tape. Partial discharges in the gaseous voids are thereby eliminated at normal operating voltages and under typical overvoltage conditions.
  • this coating provides a strong bond to the semi-conducting tape and a modest bond to the insulation surface.
  • the semi-conducting tape is removed prior to cable termination, therefore, most of the coating is removed with it.
  • any residual coating which is left on the cable surface will not affect the performance of the cable termination because of the insulating nature of the residue.
  • an additional advantageous aspect of the present invention is that the coating fills any scratches which may be present on the surface of the insulation layer of the cable. Due to the insulating nature of the coating, high local voltage stresses within the scratches are avoided and the life expectancy of the cable is, thereby, further extended.
  • the cable includes a metallic conductor 1, which may be solid or stranded, a semi-conducting conductor shield 2, and a body of polymeric insulation 3 which may, for example, be formed of a material such as polyethylene, cross-linked polyethylene or ethylene propylene rubber.
  • the surface of the insulation 3 is coated with a high dielectric constant insulating material 4 in accordance with the present invention.
  • the coated insulation layer is covered by an insulation shield 5 which comprises semi-conducting tape which is applied helically over the insulation with the overlap between adjacent windings being typically between 10 to 50%.
  • An extruded jacket 6 of, for example, polyethylene or polyvinylchloride (PVC) is typically applied over the insulation shield.
  • Such a cable may also include a metallic shield (not shown in the diagrams) between the insulation shield 5 and the cable jacket 6.
  • a gaseous void will typically exist in the region at which adjacent edges of the insulation shield overlap (indicated by reference numeral 10). If it were not for the presence of the high dielectric constant coating 4 of the present invention, partial discharges would occur in these voids under the high voltage stress conditions typical of normal operation of the cable. These partial discharges would cause decomposition of the portion of the insulation 3 facing the void in which the partial discharge occurred. In the cable of the present invention , however, presence of the high dielectric constant coating 4, in combination with the semi-conducting nature of the insulation shield 5, acts to reduce the voltage stresses in the void, thereby preventing the occurrence of partial discharges and the consequent decomposition of the insulation.
  • Reference numeral 7 of Figure 2 indicates an area of the insulation at which its surface has been scratched. Even if great care is taken during the manufacture of the cable it is impossible to completely prevent the occurrence of such scratches.
  • the high dielectric constant coating 4 fills the scratches thereby preventing high local voltage stresses from occurring at the ends of the scratches. Partial discharges are thereby prevented from occurring within the scratches and the degradation of the insulation and premature cable failure caused by such discharges is therefore, avoided. It will be appreciated that if such scratches were left unfilled, or if they were filled with a semi-conducting material, high local voltage stresses and/or partial discharges would occur within the scratches thereby causing degradation of the insulation and consequent premature cable failure.
  • the insulation coating 4 should be an insulating material which has an apparent dielectric constant higher than that of both the insulation 3 and the insulation shield tape 5. It may be paint-type material (eg. one which is suitable for application by spraying, dipping, washing, wiping, etc.) or a material suitable for extrusion over the insulation. It has been found, however, that a paint-type coating is best suited for being removed with the conductor shield tape during termination operations, and is thus preferable.
  • a paint-type coating as above described may be obtained by dispersing a high dielectric constant filler material in solution comprising a polymer or copolymer which has a dielectric constant similar to that of the material comprising the insulation layer of the cable , and a suitable solvent such as toluene.
  • the filler material may be titanium dioxide powder or a material having a similar dielectric constant (eg. a material having a dielectric constant of approximately 3.0 or above).
  • the polymeric material may be one such as polymer butyl rubber, ethylene propylene rubber or polyethylene.
  • the concentration of the filler in the coating should be in the range of about 20 to 60% by weight.
  • the amount of solvent in the coating depends upon the desired viscosity of the coating and typically should be increased with increases in the amount of filler utilised.
  • the semi-conducting tape employed as the insulation shield should be one of uncured butyl rubber, uncured ethylene propylene rubber or other forms of uncured plastics.
  • the coating should be dried before the application of the semi-conducting tape because the solvent may adversely affect the adhesion properties of the coating to both the surface of the insulation and to the semi-conducting tape.
  • An alternative embodiment of the insulation coating 4 is one which is suitable for extrusion over the insulation.
  • a material may be obtained by dispersing a filler material such as above described in a material such as ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene propylene rubber or any other copolymer which is suitable for mixing with the filler employed.
  • the amounts of filler material in the dispersion should be in the range of about 20 to 60% by weight. If such an extruded insulation coating is employed, cured cross-linked tape may be employed to form the insulation shield.
  • the thickness of the coating should be in the range of approximately 1 to 10 mils.
  • the desired thickness may be obtained by appropriately selecting the relative proportions of filler material and solvent to be utilised.
