- bare or liquid coated conductors can lose their structural integrity over time and can become vulnerable to bird caging in any spaces between the conductor wire strands.
- conductor wires containing a polymeric coating layer are shielded and can eliminate bird caging problems.
- a polymeric coating layer can eliminate water penetration, can reduce ice and dust accumulation, and can improve corona resistance.
- a conductor coated with a polymeric coating layer can have increased heat conductivity and emissivity, and decreased absorptivity characteristics.
- such conductors can have an emissivity (E) of 0.7 or more and can have an absorptivity (A) of 0.6 or less.
- E can be 0.8 or greater; and in certain embodiments, E can be 0.9 or greater.
- E can be 0.8 or greater; and in certain embodiments, E can be 0.9 or greater.
- Table 1 depicts the emissivity of several conductors including a bare conductor and two conductors with a polymeric coating layer. As depicted in Table 1, polymeric coating layer improves the emissivity of the cable.
- a polymeric coating can have a thermal deformation resistance at higher temperatures, including temperatures of 100 °C or more, and in certain embodiments 130 °C or more.
- the polymeric coating can maintain flexibility at lower temperatures, and can have improved shrink back, and low thermal expansion at the lower temperature range.
- the addition of a polymeric coating layer can add relatively little weight to an overhead conductor.
- the weight increase of a coated overhead conductor compared to a bare conductor can be 20% or less in certain embodiments, 10% or less in certain embodiments, and 5% or less in certain embodiments.
- Table 2 depicts the temperature reduction of coated overhead conductors having a polymeric coating layer in comparison to uncoated bare conductors.
- Polymeric coating layers constructed from PVDF (Sample 1) and XLPE (Sample 2) were applied using a melt extrusion process. The temperature reduction was measured on the conductor while applying current using the experimental setup depicted in FIG. 6.
- the test apparatus used to measure temperature reduction of cable samples in Table 2 is depicted in FIG. 6 and consists of a 60 Hz AC current source 601, a true RMS clamp-on current meter 602, a temperature datalog device 603 and a timer 604. Testing of each sample 600 conducted within a 68" wide x 33" deep windowed safety enclosure to control air movement around the sample. An exhaust hood (not shown) was located 64" above the test apparatus for ventilation.
- the sample 600 to be tested was connected in series with an AC current source 601 through a relay contact 606 controlled by the timer 604.
- the timer 604 was used to activate the current source 601 and control the time duration of the test.
- the 60Hz AC current flowing through the sample was monitored by a true RMS clamp-on current meter 602.
- a thermocouple 607 was used to measure the surface temperature of the sample 600. Using a spring clamp (not shown), the tip of the thermocouple 607 was kept firmly in contacted with the center surface of the sample 600. In case of measurement on a coated sample 600, the coating was removed at the area where thermocouple made the contact with the sample to get accurate measurement of the temperature of the substrate.
- the thermocouple temperature was monitored by a datalog recording device 603 to provide a continuous record of temperature change.
- Table 3 depicts the temperature effect caused by varying the thickness of an XLPE polymeric layer. Table 3 further depicts the weight increase caused by such variation. 250 kcmil conductors were used in each of the examples in Table 3. As illustrated in Table 3, an increase in the polymeric layer thickness can generally causes a decrease in operating temperature but at the cost of an increase in weight.
- the operating temperature of each sample in Table 3 was measured using a modified ANSI test depicted in FIG. 7.
- the modified ANSI test sets up a series loop using six, identically sized, four- foot cable specimens (700a or 700b) and four transfer cables 701 as depicted in FIG. 7.
- Three of the four-foot cable specimens (700a or 700b) are coated with conventional insulation materials (700a) and three of the four-foot cable specimens (700b) are coated with a polymeric layer as described herein.
- two alternating sets are formed with each set having three cable specimens.
- Equalizers 703 e.g., shown as bolt separators in FIG.
- Each equalizer 703 has a formed hole matching the gauge of the cable specimens (700a or 700b) and each cable specimen (700a or 700b) is welded into the holes. Temperature was measured on the conductor surface of each cable specimen at locations '704' in FIG. 7 while supplying constant current and voltage from a transformer 704. Table 3
- Table 4 depicts several polymeric coating compositions. Each of Examples 1 to 5 demonstrates properties suitable for use as polymeric layers of the present disclosure.
