The statistical initiation and propagation characteristics of electrical trees in cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables with different voltage ratings from 66 to 500 kV were investigated under a constant test voltage of 50 Hz/7 kV (the 66 kV rating cable is from UK, the others from China). It was found that the characteristics of electrical trees in the inner region of 66 kV cable insulation ...

We have invented a new modem technology for transmitting data on conventional telephone lines (twisted pairs) at high speeds. This discovery is timely, as new standards are being developed for this Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) technology at this very moment. The potential market for the new modem technology is massive, as the telephone service providers wish to offer Internet access to the mas...

Nowadays, new home appliances and office appliances have been developed that communicate with users through the Internet, for remote monitor and remote control. However, developments and sales of these new appliances are just started, then, many products in our houses and offices do not have these useful functions. In few years, we add these new functions to the outlet, it means multifunctional...

wileyonlinelibrary.com carbon fi bers with the specifi c electrical conductivity of metals (“specifi c”: normalized by the linear mass density). [ 1 ] These macroscopic CNT fi bers hold the promise to replace traditional metals for many applications including making stronger and lighter power transmission cables or electronic interconnections, [ 2 ] as well as durable fi eld emission or thermio...

Abstract Aiming at the problem that traditional fault monitoring method of mine power supply equipment is single and can not effectively reflect real-time working state cables, this project studies a comprehensive intelligent diagnosis early warning technology method. Through research two key technologies, quality analysis based on harmonic insulation condition electrical equipment, an system f...

A power cable is widely used for power supply in power distributing networks and power transmission lines. Due to limitations in the production, delivery and setting up power cables, they are produced and delivered in several separate lengths. Cable itself, consists of two cable terminations and arbitrary number of cable joints, depending on the cable route length. Electrical stress control is ...

A National Grid funded research project at Southampton has investigated possible methodologies for data acquisition, transmission and processing that will facilitate on-line continuous monitoring of partial discharges in high voltage polymeric cable systems. A method that only uses passive components at the measuring points has been developed and is outlined in this paper. More recent work, fun...

Defective cables in the electric power systems of nuclear power plants can cause a component to fail, resulting in potential safety concerns. Due to this problem, a non-destructive, non-intrusive condition assessment technique is highly desirable. Joint time-frequency domain reflectometry (JTFDR) is proposed and verified to be effective for cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable, which serves c...
