Taihan Electric Wire
XLPE(Cross-Linked Polyethylene) insulated cables have been widely used for electric power distribution of voltage up to 30kV grade since they were develpoed in 1960 to replace the paper insulated cables and other thermoplastic insulated cables. XLPE cables have many excellent characteristics, especially for use in higher operating temperature. Generally PE insulated cables can be used in maximum operating temperature of 70C and paper insulated cables in 85C, but XLPE cables, which have more compact crystallity than PE by cross-linking process, can be used up to 90C in normal condition. The major merits of XLPE cables can be illustrated as follows;

Excellent electrical properties Higher operating temperature, higher current capacity Excellent physical and mechanical properties Anti-chemical properties Ease of jointing, installation and maintenance
Introduction of XLPE Cable

XLPE cables, however, had been scarcely used for extra high voltage exceeding 30kV grade because of its weakness for water treeing phenomena which occurs in the insulation in long-term operating situation. Water treeing is a phenomena of gradual insulation destroying due to water concentration onto some weak points in the insulation. The water can be invaded through the polymeric materials in gaseous states and /or contained in insulation materials together with small voids and impurities during extrusion, steam-curing and cooling process. These waters can be con-centrated onto weak points due to high electric intensity and repeating switching operation, and eventually formed a treeshaped tunnel from inside to outer surface of insulation. Many researches and develpoments are accomplished in many develpoed countries including ourselves and it shows excellent operating experiences. 66kV and 77kV grade XLPE cables have already been used since early 1970s and now XLPE cables up to and including 230kV grade are popularly being adopted for power transmission lines. 345kV grade and 500kV grade cables are also developed and under operations. But nowadays, with the aid of technical development in cable manufacturing field, water treeing phenomena cannot be an obstacle any more to extent the voltage grade higher. Water invasion from the outside of cable can be prevented by adopting water-proof seamless metal sheath and water contents in insulation during manufacturing process can be practically minimized by adopting dry curing cross-linking process instead of steam-curing method.
Cables Specification of XLPE Cable

Scope
This specification applies to materials and constructions of cross-linked polyethylene(XLPE) cables for extra high voltage transmission of rated voltage from 66kV grade upto and including 500kV grade. This specification deals manufacturers standard models of the cable, however any other models as for buyers standard are also available.
Conductor
The conductor shall be formed from plain copper or aluminum complying with Korean Standard KS C 3101, British Standard 6360/6791, IEC Publication 60228 or ICEA S-108-720. The conductor shall be stranded circular, compacted circular, or segmental compacted circular. Segmental compacted circular conductors shall be applied to cables of conductor nominal cross-sectional areas of 800mm2 and above.
Conductor Shielding
Conductor shielding of an extruded semi-conducting thermosetting compound shall be applied over the conductor. One or two layer of semi-conducting tape(s) may be applied with a proper lapping between the conductor and the extruded semi-conducting layer.
Insulation
The insulation shall be of dry-cured XLPE compound with a thickness to meet dimensional, electrical and physical requirements specified. The compound shall be high quality, heat-,moisture-, ozone- and resitant. This insulation shall be suitable for operation in wet or dry locations at conductor temperature not exceeding 90C for normal condition, 130C for emergency overload conditions and 250C for short circuit conditions.
Insulation Thickness
The insulation thickness of XLPE cable must be based on its ability to withstand lightening impulse voltage as well as operating voltage throughout its expected life. For the design of XLPE cable, the nominal thickness of insulation is determined by AC withstand voltage(VAC) or impulse withstand voltage(Vimp), that can be determined by following formula. Larger value of TAC and Timp should be determined as minimum thickness of insulation.
Insulation Shielding
The insulation shielding shall be applied direct upon the insulation and shall consist of either a semiconducting tape or a layer of extruded semi-conducting compound, or combination of these materials. The extruded semiconducting compound shall be a ther-mosetting or thermosetting compound and firmly and totally bonded to the insulation.
Matallic Layer
The metallic layer can be applied over the insulation shielding to reinforce the capability of carrying fault current specified, if required. The metallic layer will be one of the next forms; (Fig.1)
Inner Plastic Bedding

If required, extruded layer of a thermoplastic compound, PVC or PE canbe applied.
Cables Specification of XLPE Cable

Metal Tape Moisture Barrier
When the moisture barrier required, a layer of aluminum tape laminated at both or outer side with copolymer shall be applied longitudinally over the cable core with an overlap so as to lap parts of the tape on each other. Fig.1 Copper Wire Shield Type
Outer Jacket
The outer jacket shall consist of thermoplastic compound(PVC, PE or similar materials) extruded continuously over the metallic layer or moisture barrier. A bituminous compound primer shall be applied under the outer jacket to protect the sheath against local corrosion when corrugated aluminum sheath or lead alloy sheath is adopted.

Copper Wire Shield (CWS)

When a layer of copper wire shield is required, it shall be applied directly over the insulation shielding with a length of lay of approximately 10 times the diameter over the screen conductors and with gaps not less than 0.1mm, if not specified. One or more layers of suitable separator tape may be applied helically over a layer of CWS.
Corrugated Aluminum
When the corrugated aluminum sheath is required, it shall be applied by extrusion and then passing through a corrugating head. The corrugating head contains rotating dies to form the valleys between the ribs like sine wave and produce to correct diameter of sheath to fit over the insulation. The sheath shall be free from pinholes flaws and other imperfections. When the aluminum sheath is applied directly over the extruded semi-conducting layer or inner plastic bedding, suitable non-metallic tape(s) can be applied under the aluminum sheath to prevent heat transfer onto the plastic material during the manufacturing. Copper Wire Shield & Lead Alloy Sheath Type
Lead Alloy
When the lead alloy sheath is required, it shall be applied by a continuous screw extrusion in high quality, smooth surface and free from pinholes and any other imperfections including one associated with oxide inclusions. When the lead sheath is applied directly over the extruded semi-conducting layer or inner plastic bedding, suitable non-magnetic tape(s) can be applied under the lead sheath to prevent heat transfer onto the plastic material during the manufacturing. The composition of lead alloy of composition of Cu 0.04%, Te 0.04% and the remainder for lead will be applied. Insulated Wires, Copper Wire Shield & Lead Sheath Type (Enamelled Copper Wire Cable)

Vertical Type Continuous Vulcanizing Equipment
In case of extra high voltage cable, the insulation thickness is so thick that centers of the conductor and the insulation was not coincided each other when catenary type vulcanizing system was adopted. Due to the considerable eccentricity of the insulated core, the insulation thickness should be thicker than the electrically required value. Our facility of vulcanizing process is installed in vertical in the tower of height of approximately 125m. The insulation is extruded on the highest place of the tower and passed through the vertical tube for vulcanizing and cooling purposes. Since the pass line of the insulated core is vertical, strengthen core is exposed to uniform gravity force through its cross-section that no eccentricity can be occurred. By adopting this method, the insulation thickness can be reduced remarkably and nowadays, and the extruded thermosetting insulated cables are enough competitive to conventional cables.

CDCC System
Completely Dry Curing and Cooling Vulcanizing Method
We adopt CDCC system for vulcanizing XLPE insulation that is a continuous vulcanizing and dry curing system using nitrogen gas. This CDCC system has been recently developed to produce extra high voltage XLPE cables and it shows excellent function to reduce faults and imperfections in the insulation. In this system, extruded thermosetting compounds are cured in the curing tube by thermal radiation through inert nitrogen gas, therefore there is no opportunity that the compounds can absorb any moisture during vulcanizing process. The insulated core may be cooled by water in the lower part of the tube, but to obtain better quality in the absence of moisture, generally cooled by convection and radiation in a nitrogen gas atmosphere. This system is being wholly controlled by computer so that manufacturing conditions and temperatures are controlled perfectly. These mean that the quality of the insulation is uniform throughout the cross-section and the length. All of the process of this system is perfectly protected from outer atmosphere to prevent the insulation compounds and the insulated core from any contact with moistures, dust, contaminated air, etc.
22
Advantage of CDCC
Water Content
Compared with the case of steam curing cable in which a large amount of water due to the saturated steam remains in the insulation, for CDCC cable, only 100 to 200ppm moisture is detected in insulation. The water content during curing process is shown inTable 1.

Quality Assurance & Test Requirements

Extra high voltage cables are the most important cable because they are generally adopted to massive power transmission system. Therefore the quality of the cable shall be not only tested for finished cable products but also controlled during the whole manufacturing processes. All the materials and manufacturing processes are stringently controlled, tested and reported according to quality standards. Drum test and type test are performed on completed cables. Drum test is done for every length of cables by measuring conductor resistance, capacitance, power factor, partial discharge, etc. Electrical quality assurance for D/M length test program is done for sampled cable, generally one out of ten lengths by measuring impulse breakdown, long-time AC withstand voltage, power factor, partial discharge, etc. Testing procedure is one of the important process and every necessary test equipments and devices are installed, such as 3600kV impulse generator, 600kV AC testing transformer, schering bridge, 1200kV dielectric breakdown tester and shield room.

System Design and Engineering Work

Cable System Design
Most of the extra high voltage cable projects include not only the manufacturing and supply of cables and accessories but also cable system design, civil works, cable laying, erection works, site testing and commissioning. A cable system should be designed to meet the users requirements in various respects in technology, economy, and stability. The design flow of cable system is shown in Chart 1.
Determining Cable Size

The selection of conductor size depends on various system and installation conditions. The system conditions consist of required current ratings, rated system voltages, system frequency, short-circuit current and its duration, and so on. For the maximum current ratings, there are continuous current and emergency current. For the rated system voltages, there are nominal voltage, highest voltage, and basic impulse insulation voltage. The installation conditions consist of cable laying arrangements, laying methods, laying depth, soil thermal resistivity, ambient temperatures, other heat sources, and so on. For the cable laying arrangements, there are flat formation, trefoil formation and distances between phases and circuits. For the laying methods, there are directburial laying, in-duct laying, in-air laying and others.
Determining Sheath Bonding Methed

Cable sheaths are grounded by various methods. A solid bonding method presents the simplest solution. But the grounded sheaths produce large cable losses and, in turn, it largely reduces the power capacity of cable system. Special bonding methods are applied to reduce the cable losses. A single-point bonding method is applied in case of short route and less then two joints (see Figure 1), and a cross bonding method is applied in case of long route and many joints (see Figure 2). But these methods produce standing sheath-induced voltages, while the cable system shall be designed not to exceed the required maximum sheath voltage.
Determining Cable Span

Since cable products are produced at a certain length, cable jointing is required at a long cable route. Cable drum lengths and number of joints are determined generally on the various terms, cable manufacturing, transportation of drum, cable laying, cable system design and so on. In general, the followings are the most important terms to determine the maximum cable drum length. Maximum manufacturing length of cables Related regulations on transportation of cable drums to site Maximum pulling tension and sidewall pressure during cable installation Cable sheath bonding and maximum sheath-induced voltage

1. Single Point Bonding System

This system is adopted for short length of the single core cable, generally without any joint, or circuit extension portion in addition to cross-bonding system. In this case, induced voltage on the metal layer cannot be diminished, therefore the system can be used, provided the induced voltage is less than dangerous level approximately 65V.

2. Cross-Bonding System
This system is generally adopted for single core cable circuit having two or more joints. In the system, metallic layer of a cable is electrically separated(insulated) and connected to other cable's metallic layer at ends of every three section of the circuit, and then it will be connected to the another cable's layer. In the first section of the circuit, induced voltage is increased in proportion to cable length, but in the next section, it is decreased first time and increased again because induced voltages from two otherphase is mixed together in this section. In same reason, induced voltage at the end of this three section circuit becomes almost zero level remaining small amount of residual voltage due to unbalance of the joint section, etc.

Installation
TAIHAN has many achievements and excellent techniques related to turnkey-base projects. The turnkey-base projects include the installation and engineering services as well as the supply of cable system. The quality of the cable system at the site depends mainly on cable laying work, and jointing and terminating works. TAIHAN has most qualified engineers and workers who are skillful and experienced in carrying out the installation works. Also TAIHAN has much experience on various cable laying methods. The followings are generally applied as a cable laying method.
Direct in the Ground

This method is shown in Fig.3, and is employed in following cases; 1) Where road is narrow so the construction of conduit under the road not permitted. 2) Where the number of cables is few and nofuture increase is expected. 3) Where the road digging is easy.
Underground Duct or Tunnel

This method is shown in Fig. 4, 5, and is employed in following cases; 1) The case of main underground transmission line where the number of cables are many or expected to be increased in near future. 2) The case of hard pavement or where hard pavement will be constructed in future. 3) Where digging is difficult due to heavy traffic.
Special Laying
In case cables are installed in special places where there are bridges or railways, special laying methods are employed as follows; 1) When a cable crosses a river or canal, cables are attached to the bridge. If there is no suitable bridge in the neighborhood, an exclusive bridge should be built or a method of submarine laying should be adopted. As long as the strength and space of the bridge permits, it is best to attach the cables to the bridge. Whether it is better to build an exclusive bridge or to lay submarine cable depends on the cost and difficulty of construction. 2) In case of crossing a railway, there are two methods; one is digging through the railway bed, and the other is piercing from the side of the railway by using an excavator, when the cable crosses many tracks like a surface from railroad or suburban railway, digging the railway bed is usually adopted. Except for the above case, piercing by using an excavator is adopted.

2. PD (Partial Discharge) Measurement
Partial discharge is an incomplete breakdown of insulation and a kind of discharging phenomenon, which is generated by or at air-gap of solid insulator, gas foam of liquid insulator, contacting surfaces of different insulating materials and peaks on metallic surface. It is generated by the reason that as the permittivity of gas area is lower than that of solid or liquid, electric field is concentrated, and thus electric discharges occur in the gas due to the low dielectric strength of the gas. 1) Measurement Method Impress an AC voltage of commercial cycle to a conductor to detect partial discharge of the insulator between the conductor and a shielding layer. And measure the starting electric charge and frequency of the partial discharge. 2) Analyzing Measurements ICM System (1) Main Components of PD Devices
