Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an impregnation compound for electrical cables, especially for high voltage DC power cables, with an insulation of a plurality of permeable tapes.
  • Such cables of the mass impregnated type i.e. metal sheathed cables insulated with paper which is impregnated with a viscous compound, are also designed for high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission, underground as well as submarine.
  • HVDC high voltage direct current
  • an oil based electrical insulation compound comprising mineral oils and an oil soluble polymer being a synthetic hydrocarbonic block-copolymer of polystyrene and synthetic rubber having molecular weights from 50,000 - 1,000,000.
  • the parallel PCT WO97/04466 also describes an impregnating compound which has a very steep slope of change of viscosity characteristics, whereby the viscosity being high at temperatures equal and below the maximum cable operating temperature and being low at higher temperatures.
  • a second object of the present invention is to decrease the possibility of creation of voids in the compound during thermal cycling of the cable.
  • a further object of this invention is to reduce the impregnation temperature and in the following to shorten the manufacturing time and to save production costs.
  • the impregnating compound has a high nearly constant viscosity of 200 - 700 Pas up to an operating cable conductor temperature of at least 40°C and a low viscosity of less than 0.1 Pas in a temperature range of about 75° to 130°C.
  • the impregnating compound has a high nearly constant viscosity of 300 - 500 Pas up to an operating cable conductor temperature of 70°C and a low viscosity of less than 0.1 Pas in a temperature range of about 95° to 125°C.
  • the compound or impregnating mass according to the inventions consists of
  • the mineral oil in the compound according to this invention is preferably a hydrogenated naphthenic oil with a boiling point between 250 and 540°C with a viscosity at 40°C between 20 and 300 cSt and containing aromatic hydrocarbons in a range between 25 and 50 % by weight.
  • thermoplastic elastomer used according to the present invention is a styrene-ethylen-butylene-styrene (SEBS) elastomer with a molecular weight between 100,00 and 250,000 and a styrene content of 25 - 35 % mass.
  • SEBS styrene-ethylen-butylene-styrene
  • the present invention relates not only to the impregnating compound or mass described above but also to the cable with an insulation impregnated with this compound/mass.
  • the invention relates also to the method for making such cables. With the invention there is obtained a HVDC power cable having the properties mentioned above and extra high effect transfer capacity, in the order of 500 MW and above at a voltage of 350 kV and above.
  • FIG. 1 is schematically illustrated a HVDC power cable 1 comprising a central multiwire conductor 2 having a substantially circular cross section.
  • At least one insulation layer 3 which encompasses the conductor consists of a plurality of permeable paper tapes wound around the conductor.
  • At least one non-permeable sheath 4 having a substantially circular cross section encompasses the insulation layer(s) 3 and an impregnating compound substantially fill all interstices within the conductor, all interstices between individual tape layers and all voids within the tape structure itself.
  • Two or more insulated cores can be arranged within the same non-permeable sheath.
  • the electrical properties of the cable insulating system depend not only on the type of insulation and the cable manufacturing process, but especially on the choice of the impregnation compound.
  • Such a compound to be used for HVDC cables should have a low dielectric loss and the ability to absorb hydrogen gas when subjected to ionic bombardment and moreover it should have a long-term stability.
  • This compound is characterized by a low viscosity at 100 - 80°C, i.e. 40 m Pas at 100°C, and a nearly constant viscosity from 55 - 50 and down to 0°C. At 0°C this compound has a viscosity of 450 Pas.
  • This impregnating compound/mass has a low viscosity at 125 - 115°C and nearly a constant viscosity from 70 - 60 and down to 0°C.
  • the above mentioned impregnating compound E has a low viscosity at 100 - 80°C and a nearly constant viscosity from 50 - 40 and down to 0°C.
  • the typically Tan 6 is 0.070, the resistivity ⁇ 2 ⁇ 10 11 and the breakdown 60 kV.
  • the gas absorbing quality is high, it is typically 12 - 15 mm 3 /min.
  • the relatively constant viscosity of the impregnating mass at the working temperature of the cable decreases the possibility of the creation of voids or bubbles in a most effective way, also in the case of thermal cyclings of the cable.
  • the low viscosity before the gel-point reduces the impregnation temperature of the cable essentially and as a result the cable manufacturing time, that means especially the time for impregnation of the cable insulation, can be reduced.
  • the compound A has its low viscosity of about 0.05 Pas at about 90°C while the compound B, both regarding the invention, has its low viscosity also of about 0.05 Pas at about 110°C.
  • the slope of change or both essential viscosity characteristics (high/low) is steep.
  • the NH curve in the Fig. 2 describes another prior art (PCT/WO97/04465) which has a "high” viscosity at about 3,000 Pas and a "low” viscosity of about 0.05 Pas at a temperature of about 60°C. But the slope of change in this case is very steep, from its high level of viscosity the NH curve changes its gradient rapidly. So the compound according to the prior art will not perform the conditions which are necessary to acquire the advantages of the present invention.
