Abstract

The article is devoted to research on the creation of a method for assessing the durability ofthe main insulation of power cable lines based on the thermofluctuation theory of destruction of solids.The features of breakdown development in homogeneous and inhomogeneous dielectrics areconsidered. The problematic issues of insulating materials of power cable systems (PCS) are consideredon the basis of the development and development of non-destructive testing methods. The maincomponents that destroy the insulation of the PCS are installed. The thermofluctuation theory ofdestruction and the evaluation of the durability of electrical insulation of power cables are described.An analytical method is proposed for evaluating the processes of cellulose oxidation with the determinationof the most probable. The proposed approach to identifying the main processes of insulationdestruction allows us to present in more detail the prerequisites for the development of partial discharges(PD) in isolation and to determine measures to minimize the processes leading to the destructionof PCS insulation. The results of experiments on the study of the service life of the insulatingmaterial of aged ends of a power cable in a thermal cabinet, to determine the aging criteria, arepresented. The experimental data are interpreted from the standpoint of the thermofluctuation theory.The dependence of the increase in the temperature difference ΔT on the degree of wear of the electricalinsulating properties of the material is revealed and investigated, which makes it possible to predictits resource. The thermofluctuation theory of the destruction of insulating materials caused bythe thermofluctuation rupture of chemical bonds and the evaluation of the durability of electricalinsulation of cables made of cross-linked polyethylene are considered. It is shown that, in order tocalculate the average energy of the monomeric link of various polymer materials, it is necessary toknow: the chemical formula of the monomeric link and the values of the binding energies. In thework, the time before the breakdown of the main insulation of the PCS was determined under theaction of temperature. The model can be used in devices and systems for continuous diagnosis ofpower cables according to temperature conditions.
