High voltage direct current (HVDC) cables and subsea installation of same

摘要

The present invention relates to high voltage direct current (HVDC) cables and to subsea installation of such cables. It further relates to a HVDC power cable including a central conductor (1) and insulation layers (2) covered with a metal sheath (3) such as a lead sheath as well as outer armouring (8) and corrosion protection (9). The cable includes a concentrical return current conductor (6) arranged between the metal sheath (3) and the outer corrosion protection layers (9). IMAGE
