Abstract A cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) material has been widely used to develop a power cable due to its excellent electrical characteristics and mechanical strength. The XLPE material has several problems such as environmental disruption, electrical aging, thermosetting property, and impurities which cause degradation. Therefore, an eco-friendly dielectric material should be used for a power cable instead of the XLPE. In this paper, the electrical breakdown characteristics of seven types of non-cross-linked polyethylene materials which are eco-friendly are compared with those of the XPLE. All dielectric experiment methods comply with the standards of ASTM-D149a. In order to calculate the electric field intensity, the finite element method (FEM) is used.
