A Study on Electrical and Thermal Properties of Thermoplastic Polymeric Insulators for Eco-Friendly Distribution Power Cables

摘要

Recently, the some research activities on the alternative insulators to the conventional XLPE have been presented for the distribution and transmission power cables.[1] In this paper, the electrical and thermal properties of thermoplastic polymer insulators are compared to the XLPE by AC breakdown test, water tree test and DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimeter) analysis.
