Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to electrical stress control in electrical power cables, and more particularly to an article and method for controlling electrical stress in a region of high electric field strength associated with electrical power cables and their associated accessories.
- high voltage generally refers to voltages sufficiently high to cause breakdown of the cable insulation at cable shield discontinuities. Without limiting the scope of the present invention, in some implementations, “high voltage” generally refers to voltages of 50 kV or greater, although the present invention is also beneficially used with lower voltages.
- a typical high voltage cable includes a central electrical conductor, a semiconducting layer (also referred to herein as a conductor shield) surrounding the electrical conductor, an electrically insulating layer covering the conductor shield, and a semiconducting layer (also referred to herein as an insulation shield) over the insulating layer.
- a semiconducting layer also referred to herein as a conductor shield
- an insulation shield over the insulating layer.
- the thickness of the cable insulating layer is dependent upon the cable voltage class, with higher voltage cables having a thicker insulating layer. Often, the thickness of the insulating layer could be reduced if the insulation material is made of higher quality (i.e., higher purity). For example, in the United States the insulation thickness of a 69 kV class cable is about 650 mils. A similar cable in Europe, the 72 kV class cable, has an insulation thickness ranging from 400 mils to 470 mils. The reduced insulation thickness provides benefits such as reduced cable size, weight and cost resulting from a decrease in the amount of insulating material used.
- the reduced insulation thickness also forces cable accessories, such as cable terminations, to withstand higher electrical stress at cable shield discontinuities. Unless properly accounted for, the additional electrical stress may lead to failure of the cable and/or cable accessories. In some instances, the additional electrical stress is accommodated by substituting a cable accessory intended for a higher voltage class cable (e.g., using a cable accessory rated for 138 kV with a 110 kV cable having reduced insulation thickness). Although such accessory substitutions work, the cost differential of the higher-rated accessory is often significant. Accordingly, an arrangement that allows the use of cables having reduced insulation thickness with existing cable accessories in the same voltage class is desirable.
- the invention described herein provides an adaptor for controlling electrical stress in an electrical power cable of the type including an inner conductor, a conductor shield surrounding the electrical conductor, a reduced-thickness electrical insulation covering the conductor shield, and a semi-conductive shield surrounding the insulation.
- the adaptor comprises a longitudinal insulative member having a first end and a second end; and a semi-conductive member in contacting engagement with the first end of the insulative member; wherein the insulative member is configured to overlay an exposed portion of the reduced-thickness electrical insulation surrounding the cable conductor, and wherein the semi-conductive member is configured to overlay an exposed portion of the cable semi-conductive shield.
- the invention described herein provides a termination system for an electrical power cable of the type including an inner conductor, a conductor shield surrounding the electrical conductor, a reduced-thickness electrical insulation covering the conductor shield, and a semi-conductive shield over the insulation.
- the termination comprises: a termination configured for installation on a cable having at least a first insulation thickness; and an adaptor configured for installation on a cable having a second insulation thickness, the second insulation thickness less than the first insulation thickness, the adaptor including an insulative member configured to overlay an exposed portion of the cable insulation, and a semi-conductive member in contacting engagement with the insulative member and the cable semi-conductive shield.
- the invention described herein provides a method of reducing electrical stress in an electrical power cable accessory.
- the method comprises: preparing an electrical power cable of the type including an inner conductor, a conductor shield surrounding the electrical conductor, a reduced-thickness electrical insulation layer covering the conductor shield, and a semi-conductive shield over the insulation layer by removing a predetermined length of the semi-conductive shield to expose a portion of the cable insulation layer and removing a lesser predetermined length of the exposed portion of the cable insulation layer and conductor shield to expose the cable conductor; installing an adaptor over the prepared cable to increase a total effective insulation thickness of the prepared cable; and installing a cable accessory over the adaptor.

- Exemplary power cable 10 includes a central electrical conductor 12, a semiconducting layer 14 (also referred to herein as conductor shield 14) surrounding electrical conductor 12, a layer of electrical insulation 16 covering conductor shield 14, and a semiconducting layer 18 (also referred to herein as insulation shield 18) over insulation 16.
- Insulation 16 may comprise a material such as crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE), polyethylene (PE), or ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), or other materials as are known in the art. Additional protective layers (not shown) may additionally be provided over insulation shield 18.
- electrical insulation 16 of cable 10 is understood to have a reduced thickness that, absent supplemental electrical stress controlling measures, requires use of a cable accessory in a higher voltage class than the cable voltage class (e.g., using a cable accessory rated for 138 kV with a 110 kV cable having reduced insulation thickness).
- a cable having reduced-insulation thickness may be referred to herein as a thin- walled cable.
- a cable having electrical insulation sufficiently thick to allow use of a cable accessory in the same voltage class as the cable voltage class, without the use of supplemental electrical stress controlling measures is referred to herein as a standard cable.

- a predetermined length of conductor shield 14 the same predetermined length of insulation 16 covering conductor shield 14, and a greater predetermined length of insulation shield 18 covering the insulation 16.
- Cutting back insulation shield 18 causes a discontinuity in the electrical field surrounding conductor 12 which results in high electrical stresses at the cut end of insulation shield 18. As described above, the high electrical stress can cause electrical discharge to occur, which in turn may cause breakdown of insulation 16 and eventual failure of the joint.
- the electrical stress control of cable 10 having reduced- thickness electrical insulation 16 is supplemented by installing an insulating adaptor over insulation 16 to increase the total effective insulation thickness surrounding conductor 12, and then installing a cable accessory over the adaptor.

- the exposed conductor 12 is connected to a lug 42 that is crimped onto conductor 12.
- Insulative portion 22 is configured to overlay and engage the exposed portion of reduced-thickness electrical insulation 16 surrounding cable conductor 12 and thereby increase the total effective cable insulation thickness of thin- walled cable 10 to a thickness that is equal to or greater than the insulation thickness of a standard cable, or alternately to a thickness that reduces electrical stress to a level that the cable and cable accessory combination can withstand.
- insulative portion 22 defines an installed thickness t l5 that is generally less than relaxed thickness t r of FIG. 2A and greater than stretched thickness t s of FIG. 2B.
- Semiconductive portion 24 is positioned to extend across cut end of insulation shield 18, and is configured to overlay and engage the exposed portion of insulation shield 18 to re-establish the insulation shield over the cable insulation 16 and the adapter insulative portion 22.

- Core 30 may be made from a variety of materials, e.g., polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, cellulose acetate butyrate, and the like.
- the material of core 30 need merely be a material which is sufficiently rigid to support adaptor 20 in its radially expanded condition, and allow manual removal of the entire core 30, while being flexible enough to permit the required unwinding.

- insulative portion 22 when installed on cable 10, insulative portion 22 has a thickness of at least about 250 mils.
- the thickness of insulative portion 22 when formed may be greater than the thickness of insulative portion 22 when supported on core 30 or installed on cable 10, due to thinning caused by stretching.
- the thickness of insulative portion 22 when formed may be approximately 450 mils to accommodate thinning caused by stretching.
- Increased thickness of insulative portion 22 and semiconductive portion 24 may also be desired to increase the compressive force against cable 10, thereby improving the contacting interface between adaptor 20 and cable 10. It will be appreciated that this exemplary implementation is only one of many different implementations having different voltages, thicknesses, etc., and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention in any way.
