Definitions

  • the invention relates to a high-voltage cable which consists of an inner conductor and a number of outer layers, which mainly serve the purpose of insulating the conductor from the surroundings and protect the cable from mechanical damage, moisture and corrosion, and where the two outer of these layers form a mantle with an inner insulation layer and an outer, relatively thin semiconductor layer.
  • the insulation layers of the mantle serve the purpose of a.o. protect the cable from being damaged by external stress during transportation and in connection with the laying down and the mounting. Furthermore, the mantle serves as an outer insulation and protection against corrosion, and the last-mentioned problems make heavy demands on the density of the layer.
  • the semiconductor layer of the mantle In the finished spigot-and-socket joint the semiconductor layer of the mantle would, all things being equal, make a conducting connection between the conducting parts of the cable and the earth. Therefore, the semiconductor layer would short-circuit the currents which might run in these parts. Such a short-circuit would result in undesired current dissipation, and furthermore, a true density control of the insulation layer of the mantle would not be possible. To eliminate these disadvantages the semiconductor layer of the mantle is therefore removed from its insulation layer along a piece which extends from the exposed led layer to somewhat outside the box.
  • This operation is usually done manually by means of simple pieces of tools, such as a spoke shave on the place where the cable is laid down.
  • the operator will therefore often have to work under difficult conditions, and since the semiconductor layer of the conventional mantles not with certainty is to be distinguished from the underlying insulation layer and furthermore are relatively thin, e.g. typically in sizes of 0,2 mm., the process in itself is difficult and time demanding and the result is often dissatisfactory. If there is cut to deep, the insulation layer will be damaged, and if there is not cut deep enough, the risk of short-circuit is still present.
  • the purpose of the invention is to provide a high-voltage cable of the type mentioned in the opening paragraph being adapted in such a way, that its semiconductor layer quickly and securely can be removed manually from its insulation layer even under difficult working conditions, and which at the same time is able to reveal if the cable has been damaged during the transportation and the handling.
  • the novel and characteristic features according to the invention in which this is obtained, is that there for the two mantle layers are used materials, which are easy to distinguish from each other, whereby the operator securely can identify the limit between the two layers, when the semiconductor layer of the mantle is to be removed from its insulation layer at an cable end which is to be joined in a box. If the cable should be damaged during the transportation and/or in connection with the work of laying down the cable, the damaged area will furthermore be revealed in those cases, where the damage has uncovered the insulation layer.
  • the two mantle layers are especially easy to distinguish from each other when their materials are of different colours.
  • the two outer mantle layers can with advantage be made of plastic with an additive of carbon black in an amount of by way of example 30% in order to make the layer to be conductive.
  • the outer mantle layer will take the black colour of the carbon black.
  • the inner mantle layer can then be made of polymeres, such as polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride or polyurithane with a different colour than black.
  • the different colours of the materials therefore efficiently determine the work of the operator and thereby ensures an optimum result, where the outer mantle layer efficiently has been removed without having damaged the inner mantle layer.
  • the material of the inner mantle layer can furthermore with advantage be red or white.
  • the operator will physically be able to registrate the limit between the two mantle layers, when he, when during the work of removing the outer layer, can ascertain that the material has changed character.
  • the embodiment shown is only to be understood as an example, and the cable can within the scope of the invention be constructed in many other expedient ways.
  • the main point is, that the cable at the outside is provided with a mantle with an inner insulation layer and an outer, relatively thin semiconductor layer.
  • the cable is build up by a number of layers, which in order to give an overall understanding, briefly is mentioned in the following.
  • the real conductor 1 of the cable which conductor is serving the purpose of transmission of the electric current, is in the middle of the cable.
  • a conductor will usually have a relatively large diameter, which e.g. can be approximately 50 mm, and the conductor is therefore typically divided into a number of sectional wires in order to provide the cable with an adequately large flexibility allowing the cable to be wounded up upon a cable drum and follow the differences of level of the terrain.
  • the wires consist of copper and/or aluminium, and the interspace between the wires are filled with swelling powder and semiconducting tape (not shown). Innermost there can furthermore be arranged a solid core of aluminium (not shown).
  • a conducting screen 2 has been extruded in the shape of an inner semiconductor serving the purpose of equalizing the electric field around the sectional wires of the conductor.
  • extruded insulation 3 of e.g. crosslinked polyethylene for insulating the conductor from the surroundings.
  • an insulation screen 4 consisting of a semiconducting material and serving the same purpose as the conductor screen 2, namely to equalize and homogenize the field.
  • a band winding 5, which has been wounded around the insulation screen 4, makes a thermic barrier, with the purpose of preventing the plastic from melting.
  • the winding consists of craped carbon paper and swelling band which swells, when it is exposed to water, and thereby forms an obstruction for moisture which tries to penetrate along the cable.
  • a mantle 8 with an inner insulation layer 9 of for example polyester and an outer, relatively thin semiconductor layer 10 of plastic to which has been added carbon black in a proportion of for example 30% in order to make the layer semiconducting.
  • the insulation layer 9 of the mantle 8 serves the purpose of functioning as an outer insulation to the cable and protect it from mechanical damage and corrosion, while the superjacent semiconductor layer 10 functions, when the density of the insulation layer 9 is to be tested.
  • the semiconductor layer 10 is furthermore relatively thin, e.g. about 0.2 mm, and the operator will therefore have to be extremely careful in order not to cut too deep and damage the insulation layer 9 or oppositely leave semiconducting deposits 10, which might be the course of a short-circuit.
  • a second advantage is, that the special construction of the mantle 8 can reveal, if a cable has been damaged during the transportation and the handling to such a degree that some of the insulation layer 9 of the mantle 8 has been uncovered.
  • the plastic material of the semiconductor layer 10 can, for example, be coloured black by a content of carbon black in order to make the plastic semiconducting, and the material of the insulation layer 9 can then have a correspondingly contrasting colour, which e.g. can be red, yellow, green or white.
  • the materials of the two layers 9, 10 can have structures which can be distinguished from each other.
  • the plastic material of the semiconductor layer 10 be more coarse and/or more soft than the material of the insulation layer 9.
  • a particular expedient embodiment is obtained by combining the first and the second embodiment so that it is possible to distinguish the materials of the two layers 9, 10 from each other as well physically as visually.
