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. Keywords: XLPE, polypropylene, accelerated cable life test, eco-friendly, heat resistance I. INTRODUCTION MV cables of our company have been developed in the order of CNCV, CNCV-W, TR CNCV-W, TR CNCE-W by improving on the structure of the insulation to prevent the cable failure caused by the phenomenon of water tree. However, improvement of the heat resistance of insulation material was not achieved. Incineration or landfills are needed because XLPE is difficult to recycle as thermosetting resin. The methane gas generated in the cross-linking step is also the risk of fire as well as harmful to the human body. Polypropylene is the most suitable material considering the electrical and physical properties as TI - Development Status of MV Cable with Eco-friendly and High Heat Resistance JF - KEPCO Journal on Electric Power and Energy DO - 10.18770/kepco.2016.02.01.055 DA - 2016-03-30 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/development-status-of-mv-cable-with-eco-friendly-and-high-heat-je5VPDFa90 DP - DeepDyve ER -
