- 13. History of Cable Systems 1. Conductor 13 “Carries the current” • Resistance should be small to reduce power losses: • Flexibility, weight and susceptibility to corrosion are concerns together with economical issues such as cost, availability, and salvage value P = R x I2
- 14. History of Cable Systems Conductor Characteristics 14 Conductor Aluminum Stranded Solid Copper Stranded Blocked Unblocked Blocked Unblocked
- 15. History of Cable Systems 2. Conductor Shield 15 With no conductor shield, electric field lines are concentrated, creating high stress points at the conductor/insulation interface. “Provides for a smooth interface between the conductor and the insulation” Finite Element Simulation High Stress
- 16. History of Cable Systems Conductor Shield Characteristics 16 Conductor Shield Bonded Conventional Supersmooth Superclean (SS/SC) Conductor shields are semiconductive, so they are neither an insulator nor a conductor. Semiconducting materials are based on carbon black (manufactured by controlled combustion of hydrocarbons) that is dispersed within a polymer matrix On larger conductor sizes, tape shields are often used to prevent material “fall-in” between the strands during manufacture
- 17. History of Cable Systems 3. Insulation 17 “Contains voltage between the conductor and ground” • Must be clean • Must have smooth interfaces with the conductor and insulation shields • Must be able to operate at the desired: – Electrical Stress – Temperatures

- 24. History of Cable Systems 4. Insulation Shield 24 “Keeps the voltage and stress within the insulation” With no insulation shield, electric field lines are concentrated, creating high stress points on the outside surface of the insulation. Finite Element Simulation High Stress
- 25. History of Cable Systems Belted Cables 25 • Early laminated cables had a “belt” of insulation over the core insulation. • This led to tangential stresses that were a cause of a lot of early failures Finite Element Simulation
- 26. History of Cable Systems Conductor and Insulation Shield (CS & IS) Effect 26 When both shields are: • smooth • intact Then, electric field lines are uniform, with a controlled electrical stress distribution. Finite Element Simulation
- 27. History of Cable Systems Insulation Shield – MV, HV, and EHV 27 Laminated Insulation Carbon Black Paper Perforated metallized paper Preferred in North America, Asia & parts of Europe. Thought to permit easier termination & splicing of cables but service performance is very dependent upon the workmanship / training of the installer, which is often variable Often same compound as CS

- 32. History of Cable Systems PILC Cables 32 • Differing designs – Belted vs. shielded – Jacketed vs. unjacketed • Lead corrosion (PILC) • Temperature performance and stability of impregnants • Draining of compounds – Dry insulations – Collapsed Joints • Overheating due to high dielectric losses • Moisture ingress leading to overheating • Loss of impregnant due to lead sheath leaks • Combinations of the above

- 35. History of Cable Systems Extruded Cables 35 • Differing designs – Jacketed vs unjacketed – Extruded shields vs graphite shields • Dirty insulation compounds (PE, early XLPE) • Insulations that were susceptible to water treeing (PE , early XLPE) • Poor manufacturing processes – Open compound handling procedures – Changing Formulations (EPR) • Inadequate cable designs – Unblocked conductors – Unjacketed cables – Cables with inadequate neutral designs • Combinations of the above
