Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cable with recyclable covering.
- the invention relates to a cable for transporting or distributing medium or high voltage electric energy, wherein an extruded covering layer based on a thermoplastic polymer material in admixture with a dielectric liquid with superior mechanical and electrical properties is present, enabling, in particular, the use of high operating temperatures and the transportation of high power energy.
- the various coverings surrounding the conductor commonly consist of polyolefin-based crosslinked polymer, in particular crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE), or elastomeric ethylene/propylene (EPR) or ethylene/propylene/diene (EPDM) copolymers, also crosslinked.
- XLPE crosslinked polyethylene
- EPR elastomeric ethylene/propylene
- EPDM ethylene/propylene/diene
- Electric cables are also known having their insulation consisting of a multi-layer wrapping of a paper or paper/polypropylene laminate impregnated with a large quantity of a dielectric liquid (commonly known as mass impregnated cables or also oil-filled cables). By completely filling the spaces present in the multi-layer wrapping, the dielectric liquid prevents partial discharges arising with consequent perforation of the electrical insulation.
- dielectric liquids products are commonly used such as mineral oils, polybutenes, alkylbenzenes and the like (see for example US-4,543,207, US-4,621,302, EP-A-0987718, WO 98/32137).
- mass impregnated cables have numerous drawbacks compared with extruded insulation cables, so that their use is currently restricted to specific fields of application, in particular to the construction of high and very high voltage direct current transmission lines, both for terrestrial and in particular for underwater installations.
- the production of mass impregnated cables is particularly complex and costly, both for the high cost of the laminates and for the difficulties encountered during the steps of wrapping the laminate and then of impregnating it with the dielectric liquid.
- the dielectric liquid used must have low viscosity under cold conditions to allow rapid and uniform impregnation, while at the same time it must have a low tendency to migrate during installation and operation of the cable to prevent liquid loss from the cable ends or following breakage.
- mass impregnated cables cannot be recycled and their use is limited to an operating temperature of less than 90°C.
- HDPE high density polyethylene
- Thermoplastic low density polyethylene (LDPE) insulating coverings are also used in medium and high voltage cables: again in this case; these coverings are limited by too low an operating temperature (about 70°C).
- LDPE low density polyethylene
- WO 99/13477 describes an insulating material consisting of a thermoplastic polymer forming a continuous phase which incorporates a liquid or easily meltable dielectric forming a mobile interpenetrating phase within the solid polymer structure.
- the weight ratio of thermoplastic polymer to dielectric is between 95:5 and 25:75.
- the insulating material can be produced by mixing the two components while hot either batchwise or continuously (for example by means of an extruder). The resultant mixture is then granulated and used as insulating material for producing a high voltage electric cable by extrusion onto a conductor.
- the material can be used either in thermoplastic or crosslinked form.
- thermoplastic polymers polyolefins, polyacetates, cellulose polymers, polyesters, polyketones, polyacrylates, polyamides and polyamines.
- the use of polymers of low crystallinity is particularly suggested.
- the dielectric is preferably a synthetic or mineral oil of low or high viscosity, in particular a polyisobutene, naphthene, polyaromatic, ⁇ -olefin or silicone oil.
- the Applicant considers as still unsolved the technical problem of producing an electric cable with a covering made from a thermoplastic polymer material having mechanical and electrical properties comparable to those of cables with an insulating covering of crosslinked material.
- the Applicant has considered the problem of producing a cable with a non-crosslinked insulating covering having good flexibilty and high mechanical strength under both hot and cold conditions, while at the same time possessing high dielectric strength, without using products potentially polluting during the life cycle of the cable, i.e. from its production to its disposal.
- the Applicant considers that the addition of dielectric liquids to polymer materials as proposed in the cited WO 99/13477 gives totally unsatisfactory results.
- the Applicant maintains that adding a dielectric liquid to an insulating material should both determine a significant increase in its electrical properties (in particular its dielectric strength), without changing the material characteristics (thermomechanical properties, manageability) and without resulting in exudation of the dielectric liquid.
- the resultant cable should give substantially constant performance with time and hence high reliability, even at high operating temperatures (at least 90°C and beyond).
- the Applicant has now found it possible to solve said technical problem by using, as recyclable polymer base material, a thermoplastic propylene homopolymer or copolymer mixed with a dielectric liquid as hereinafter defined.
- the resultant composition possesses good flexibility even when cold, excellent thermomechanical strength and high electrical performance, such as to make it particularly suitable for forming at least one covering layer, and in particular an electrical insulating layer, of a medium or high voltage cable of high operating temperature, of at least 90°C and beyond.
- the dielectric liquid suitable for implementing the invention has high compatibility with the base polymer and high efficiency in the sense of improving electrical performance, consequently allowing the use of small quantities of additive such as not to impair the thermomechanical characteristics of the insulating layer.
- the dielectric liquid suitable for forming the cable of the invention is free of polar groups, it absorbs water in extremely small quantities, hence preventing formation of insulation defects due to the presence of steam which normally forms during the process of high temperature extrusion.
- the invention therefore relates to a cable (1) comprising at least one electrical conductor (2) and at least one extruded covering layer (3, 4, 5) based on a thermoplastic polymer material in admixture with a dielectric liquid, wherein:
- said extruded covering layer based on said thermoplastic polymer material in admixture with said dielectric liquid is an electrically insulating layer.
- said extruded covering layer based on said thermoplastic polymer material in admixture with said dielectic liquid is a semiconductive layer.
- the propylene homopolymer or copolymer has a melting point of from 145 to 170°C.
- the propylene homopolymer or copolymer has a melting enthalpy of from 30 to 85 J/g.
- the propylene homopolymer or copolymer has a flexural modulus, measured in accordance with ASTM D790, at room temperature, of from30 to 1400 MPa, and more preferably from 60 to 1000 MPa.
- the propylene homopolymer or copolymer has a melt flow index (MFI), measured at 230°C with a load of 21.6 N in accordance with ASTM D1238/L, of from 0.05 to 10.0 dg/min, more preferably from 0.5 to 5.0 dg/min.
- MFI melt flow index
- a copolymer of propylene with an olefin comonomer is used, this latter is preferably present in a quantity of less than or equal to 15 mol%, and more preferably of less than or equal to 10 mol%.
- Propylene/ethylene copolymers are particularly preferred.
- thermoplastic material is selected from:
- the homopolymers or copolymers of class a) show a single-phase microscopic structure, i.e. substantially devoid of heterogeneous phases dispersed as molecular domains of size greater than one micron. These materials do not show in fact the optical phenomena typical of heterophase polymer materials, and in particular are characterised by better transparency and reduced whitening due to local mechanical stresses (commonly known as "stress whitening").
- Particularly preferred of said class a) is a propylene homopolymer or a copolymer of propylene with at least one olefin comonomer selected from ethylene and an ⁇ -olefin other than propylene, said homopolymer or copolymer having:
- the heterophase copolymers of class b) are thermoplastic elastomers obtained by sequential copolymerization of: i) propylene, possibly containing minor quantities of at least one olefin comonomer selected from ethylene and an ⁇ -olefin other than propylene; and then of: ii) a mixture of ethylene with an ⁇ -olefin, in particular propylene, and possibly with minor portions of a diene.
- This class of product is also commonly known by the term "thermoplastic reactor elastomers”.
- the said class b) is a heterophase copolymer in which the elastomeric phase consists of an elastomeric copolymer of ethylene and propylene comprising from 15 to 50 wt% of ethylene and from 50 to 85 wt% of propylene on the weight of the elastomeric phase. Further details of these materials and their use in covering cables are given in European patent application 98830800 filed on 30.12.1998 in the name of the Applicant, incorporated herein for reference.
- thermoplastic base material a propylene homopolymer or copolymer as hereinabove defined can be used in mechanical mixture with a low crystallinity polymer, generally with a melting enthalpy of less than 30 J/g, which mainly acts to increase flexibility of the material.

- the dielectric liquid of the invention has a kinematic viscosity, at 20°C, of between 1 and 500 mm 2 /s, preferably between 5 and 100 mm 2 /s (measured in accordance with ISO 3104).
- the alkylaryl hydrocarbon of the invention has a hydrogen absorption capacity greater than or equal to 5 mm 3 /min, preferably greater than or equal to 50 mm 3 /min (measured in accordance with IEC 628-A).
- an epoxy resin can be added to the dielectric liquid suitable for forming the cable of the invention, generally in a quantity of less than or equal to 1 wt% on the weight of the liquid, this being considered to mainly act to reduce the ion migration rate under an electrical field, and hence the dielectric loss of the insulating material.
- the dielectric liquid of the invention comprises at least one alkylaryl hydrocarbon having at least three non-condensed aromatic rings.
- the dielectric liquid of the invention comprises at least one alkylaryl hydrocarbon having at least three non-condensed aromatic rings in a quantity of not less than 10 wt% on the total weight of the dielectric liquid.

- the alkylaryl hydrocarbons of formula (I) are generally prepared by reacting benzylchloride, methylbenzylchloride or their mixtures, with an aromatic hydrocarbon selected from benzene, toluene, xylene or their mixtures, in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst (for example FeCl 3 , SbCl 3 , TiCl 4 or AlCl 3 ). Further details regarding the preparation of alkylaryl hydrocarbons of formula (I) are given for example in US-5,192,463, US-5,446,228, US-5,545,355 and US-5,601,755.
- a Friedel-Crafts catalyst for example FeCl 3 , SbCl 3 , TiCl 4 or AlCl 3 .
- the dielectric liquid suitable for implementing the invention has good heat resistance, considerable gas absorption capacity, in particular for hydrogen, and hence high resistance to partial discharges, so that dielectric loss is not high even at high temperature and high electrical gradient.
- the weight ratio of dielectric liquid to base polymer material of the invention is generally between 1:99 and 25:75, preferably between 2:98 and 20:80, and more preferably between 3:97 and 15:85.

- the cable of the invention has at least one electrical insulation layer and at least one semiconductive layer formed from a thermoplastic polymer material in admixture with a dielectric liquid as hereinabove described. This prevents the semiconductive layers from absorbing, with time, part of the dielectric liquid present in the insulating layer, so reducing its quantity just at the interface between the insulating layer and semiconductive layer, in particular the inner semiconductive layer where the electrical field is higher.
- the invention relates to a polymer composition
- a polymer composition comprising a thermoplastic polymer material in admixture with a dielectric liquid, in which:
- the invention relates to the use of a polymer composition, as described hereinabove, as the base polymer material for preparing a covering layer (4) with electrical insulation properties, or for preparing a covering layer (3, 5) with semiconductive properties.
- a covering layer for the cable of the invention In forming a covering layer for the cable of the invention, other conventional components can be added to the aforedefined polymer composition, such as antioxidants, processing aids, water tree retardants, and the like.

- they enable high operating temperature to be employed, comparable with or even exceeding that of cables with coverings consisting of crosslinked polymer base materials.
- a conductive filler in particular carbon black, is generally dispersed within the polymer material in a quantity such as to provide the material with semiconductive characteristics (i.e. such as to obtain a resistivity of less than 5 Ohm.m at ambient temperature).
- This quantity is generally between 5 and 80 wt%, and preferably between 10 and 50 wt%, of the total weight of the mixture.
- the possibility to use the same type of polymer composition for both the insulating layer and the semiconductive layers is particularly advantageous in producing cables for medium or high voltage, in that it ensures excellent adhesion between adjacent layers and hence better electrical behaviour, particularly at the interface between the insulating layer and the inner semiconductive layer, where the electrical field and hence the risk of partial discharges are higher.
- compositions of the invention can be prepared by mixing together the base polymer material, the dielectric liquid and any other additives possibly present by methods known in the art. Mixing can be carried out for example by an internal mixer of the type with tangential rotors (Banbury) or with interpenetrating rotors, or, preferably, in a continuous mixer of Ko-Kneader (Buss) type, or of co- or counter-rotating double-screw type.

- the term “medium voltage” generally means a voltage of between 1 and 35 kV, whereas “high voltage” means voltages higher than 35 kV.
- the polymer composition of the invention can be used for covering electrical devices in general and in particular cables of different type, for example low voltage cables, telecommunications cables or combined energy/telecommunications cables, or accessories used in constructing electrical lines, such as terminals or connectors.
- the cable 1 comprises a conductor 2, an inner layer with semiconductive properties 3, an intermediate layer with insulating properties 4, an outer layer with semiconductive properties 5, a metal screen 6, and an outer sheath 7.
- the conductor 2 generally consists of metal wires, preferably of copper or aluminium, stranded together by conventional methods. At least one covering layer selected from the insulating layer 4 and the semiconductive layers 3 and 5 comprises the composition of the invention as heretofore defined.
- a screen 6 generally of electrically conducting wires or strips wound helically. This screen is then covered by a sheath 7 of a thermoplastic material, for example non-crosslinked polyethylene (PE) or preferably a propylene homopolymer or copolymer as heretofore defined.
- PE non-crosslinked polyethylene
- propylene homopolymer or copolymer as heretofore defined.
- the cable can also be provided with an outer protective structure (not shown in Figure 1) the main purpose of which is to mechanically protect the cable against impact or compression.
- This protective structure can be, for example, a metal reinforcement or a layer of expanded polymer as described in WO 98/52197.
- FIG. 1 shows only one possible embodiment of a cable according to the invention. Suitable modifications known in the art can evidently be made to this embodiment, but without departing from the scope of the invention.
- the cable of the invention can be constructed in accordance with known methods for depositing layers of thermoplastic material, for example by extrusion.

- the resultant material was kneaded in a laboratory double-screw Brabender Plasticorder PL2000 at a temperature of 185°C to complete homogenization.
- the material left the double-screw mixer in the form of granules.
- the dielectric strength of the polymer compositions obtained was evaluated on test-pieces of insulating material having the geometry proposed by the EFI (Norwegian Electric Power Research Institute) in the publication "The EFI Test Method for Accelerated Growth of Water Trees” (IEEE International Symposium on Electrical insulation, Toronto, Canada, June 3-6 1990).
- the cable is simulated with glass-shaped test pieces of insulating material having their base coated on both sides with a semiconductive material coating.
