Abstract

PURPOSE:To have a power cable with the suppression of any water tree by forming an insulating layer consisting mainly of a composition containing an organic heavy metal compound as a cross-linking catalyst while containing a mixture consisting of specific ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin and polyethylene. CONSTITUTION:For a cable insulating layer ls used a composition containing a mixture consisting of 25 to 35wt.% of both ethylenevinyl acetate copolymer resin having a vinyl acetate content of 25 to 33wt.% and 65 to 75wt.% of polyethylene, in which vinyl trimethoxysilane is contained in a molecular chain through the process of using copolymerization or graft polymerization, and also containing an organic heavy metal compound as a cross-linking catalyst, Consequently, the service life of a cable in its submerged condition charged with electricity, namely, time necessary to result in the dielectric breakdown of the cable is considerably lengthened to be effective for the use of every power cable for underground power transmission and distribution, being often used under circumstances having water around it.

(Contents of the invention) The present invention is a mixture of 25 to 35% by weight of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin with a vinyl acetate content of 25 to 33% by weight and 65 to 75% by weight of polyethylene. By using a composition containing silane by copolymerization or graft polymerization and an organic heavy metal compound as a crosslinking catalyst as a cable insulation layer, silane crosslinked polyethylene alone or ethylene-vinyl acetate similar to general polyethylene can be used. It has been discovered that a significantly longer submerged electrification life can be obtained than when a composition containing a polymeric resin is used for the cable insulation layer.

From the results of Comparative Examples 1 to 4 and Example 1.2, the power cable of the present invention is longer than the cable whose insulating layer is made of ordinary cross-linked polyethylene, cross-linked polyethylene blended with EYA resin, or silane cross-linked polyethylene. It can be seen that it has a submerged electrification life.

Moreover, the life obtained from these results is clearly longer than the life expected by combining the results of cross-linked polyethylene blended with EVA resin and silane cross-linked polyethylene alone, indicating an unexpected effect. It can be said.

At this time, from the results of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 and Examples 1 and 2, the silane-crosslinked polyethylene used may be one obtained by copolymerizing ethylene and vinyltrimethoxysilane, or one obtained by copolymerizing polyethylene with vinyltrimethoxysilane. It can be seen that even those obtained by adding dicumyl peroxide as a catalyst in the form of graft polymerization have similar effects.

Also, Example 1. 3. From the results of 4 and Comparative Example 5.6,

Furthermore, Example 1. 5. From the results of Comparative Example 8 and Comparative Example 7.8, it can be seen that the blending ratio of EVA resin is preferably 25% by weight to 35% by weight. That is, if it is less than 25% by weight or more than 35% by weight, the effect of prolonging the flood electrification effect will be reduced.

(Effect of the invention) As explained above, according to the power cable of the present invention,
When electricity is applied in a flooded state, the life span, that is, the time until dielectric breakdown occurs, becomes significantly longer. Therefore, it is extremely effective when used as a power cable for underground power transmission and distribution, which is often used in environments with surrounding moisture.
