Insulation Diagnostics end Maintenance of Submarine Medium Voltage Power Cable Systems |
| Abstract |
A study on the insulation aging assessment and maintenance for submarine medium voltage power cable systems has been performed. The purpose of this work is the economic discrimination and maintenance of bad cables which is likely to cause cable system failure. I have found that aging status of submarine cable systems are very poor and in progress. Therefore we have the replacement of cable terminations and repeat the diagnostic measurement. Insulation status were improved with the replacement of cable terminations. I have confirmed, with the electrical and structural analysis of terminations, that the poor aging status of cables are mainly caused not by the cable insulations but by the aging of cable terminations. From the above results, I have also confirmed that the domestic diagnostic system is successful and convenient for the discrimination and maintenance of the damaged cables economically. |
