Development Status of MV Cable with Eco-friendly and High Heat Resistance

Abstract

In Europe, polypropylene-insulated HV class cable with high temperature and no cross-linking was commercialized following the MV class. Our company also started a study of the polypropylene-insulated cable in 2013 and was carried out thermal, physical and electrical test. In addition, polypropylene-insulated cable was tested for compatibility with conventional joints and terminations in emergency condition and the accelerated life test for verifying their design life is in progress. The results of this study will be used to establish a standard specification and operation conditions of the polypropylene-insulated cable.
