Abstract |
A cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) material has been widely used to develop a distribution power cable due to its excellent electrical characteristics and mechanical strength. However, several problems such as environmental disruption, electrical aging, thermosetting property, and impurities which cause degradation also arise. Therefore, a novel dielectric material should be developed to substitute for the XLPE. Several kinds of polyolefin materials to substitute for the conventional dielectric material, XLPE are developed and A cylindrical rod to cylindrical rod electrode system made with stainless steel is used to perform the experiments according to the ASTM D-149 protocol under an AC and Impulse input voltage condition. The experimental results are calculated by the Weibull distribution method and analyzed by an Finite Element Method(FEM). Finally, the dielectric characteristics of the conventional XLPE and novel polyolefin are experimented compared with each other in this study. |
