Experience with dielectric response measurements on oil-paper insulated cables

چکیده
Deterioration of the underground power cables insulation has been established to be caused by electrical, thermal and environmental stresses. With the degradation of dielectric strength of the insulation, the underground cables will not be able to function optimally or as planned. As a supplement to the existing dissipation factor and other conventional cable diagnostic measurements, the Decay Voltage (DV) and the Return Voltage (RV) measurement technologies are currently being proposed for nondestructive diagnosis of cable insulation. The main purpose of this paper is to present results from laboratory measurements of DV, RV and Polarisation and Depolarisation Current (PDC) on a number of samples of oil-impregnated paper insulated cables. Comparison of these results has also been made with the conventional dissipation factor measurement data for the same cables.

Advanced technique for partial discharge detection and analysis in power cables
Polymeric cables are the most common choice for transmission and distribution in populated areas, as well as for the connection of components (transformers, GIS, etc.) in new power stations, replacing paper-oil cables. Indeed, they do possess superior characteristics with respect to oil-filled cables. As an example, they do require lower maintenance, they are lighter (easier to deploy) and, in ...
