Abstract
Insulation degradation mechanism and identification of defect types for cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable and joint have not been cleared yet. Measurement of partial discharge (PD) is one of the most important things of testing the high voltage cable. In this paper, we investigated PD characteristics measured for practical XLPE cable joint by the so-called foil electrode method, in which aluminum foils are rapped onto the cable sheath at insulated cable joint to form coupling capacitance. We measured aging time dependence of /spl phi/-q-n patterns and PD statistic parameters when an artificial defect (a needle void) was placed In XLPE/EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) interface. As a result, phase-resolved PD patterns (i.e., /spl phi/-q-n patterns) were found to depend upon the defect type varying with aging time. Moreover, we investigated mechanism of degradation process leading to breakdown by comparing experimental results of XLPE cable joint and simulated XLPE cable joint (model sample).
