M. Jevtic et Am. Andreev, THE METHOD OF TESTING OF XLPE CABLE INSULATION RESISTANCE TO PARTIAL DISCHARGES AND ELECTRICAL TREEING, Bulletin of Materials Science, 19(5), 1996, pp. 823-829
The paper gives a method of model XLPE medium voltage cable insulation
testing for partial discharges and electrical treeing with a point to
plane test geometry. Based on this method, a comparative estimate of
insulation resistance to treeing and partial discharges have been made
. XLPE crosslinked by different methods (steam medium and hot nitrogen
medium) and with varying contents of inorganic filler kaolin were tes
ted. The characteristics of partial discharges were measured by means
of a pulse height analyser characterized with a microscope. The data h
ave been analysed statistically.
