High voltage
cables with insulation of cross-linked polyethylene
ADVANTAGES OF PE-X CABLES
FKS's HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES WITH INSULATION OF CROSS-LINKED POLYETHYLENE OFFER MORE
ADVANTAGES THAN CONVENTIONAL PAPER-INSULATED OIL-FILLED CABLES
THE MAIN REASONS FOR USING HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES WITH INSULATION OF CROSS-LINKED
POLYETHYLENE INSTEAD OF HIGH VOLTAGE CONVENTIONAL PAPER-INSULATED OIL-FILLED CABLE ARE:
1. Low dielectric loss (tngd )
The tngd insulation of cross-linked polyethylene is not
larger than 4x10-4 and is about ten times smaller than the tngd insulation of conventional paper oil-filled cables (ranging about
3x10-3)
2. Low dielectric constant (e r)
The e r, of insulation of
cross-linked polyethylene is 2,3 and insulaton of paper oil-filled 3,7
3. High current load
