The present invention relates to electrically insulated cables. The recent urbanization phenomenon has increased the demand for increasing power transmission capacity without increasing the size of conduits for electric wires and cables. For this reason, there is a strong demand for increasing the transmission voltage without increasing the insulation thickness in electric wires and cables using insulators mainly composed of olefin polymers, such as polyethylene and crosslinked polyethylene. Electric wires and cables having insulators mainly composed of such olefin polymers are currently widely used, and their voltage classes have been increasing significantly over the years. By the way, one of the biggest technical problems at present with such electric wires and cables is that if these electric wires and cables continue to be energized, they will gradually deteriorate and the breakdown voltage will decrease. Generally, the guaranteed life of electric wires and cables is 30 years, so the current design standard is to increase the thickness of the insulator to account for this reduction. Another major problem with insulated cables whose main composition is the above-mentioned olefin polymer is a drop in dielectric breakdown voltage due to repeated lightning impulses during practical use. In order to reduce the insulation thickness, it is necessary to solve the above two problems. That is, prevention of deterioration of the insulator and prevention of decrease in repeated lightning impulse breakdown value. Of these two problems, it is known that the phenomenon of aging of electric wires and cables is due to the generation of trees caused by microvoids in the insulator. As a result of repeated studies on insulating materials, the present inventors have discovered that the use of a styrene-ethylene copolymer or a crosslinked product thereof can effectively suppress the generation of trees caused by microvoids.
It has also been found that the use of the copolymer or its crosslinked product can prevent the breakdown voltage from decreasing due to repeated lightning impulses. The present invention was completed based on the above findings, and its gist resides in an electrically insulated cable using a styrene-ethylene copolymer or a crosslinked product thereof as an insulator. The styrene-ethylene copolymer used in the present invention may be a random or graft copolymer. The styrene-ethylene copolymer may contain additives similar to those used in polyethylene and crosslinked polyethylene insulators. Crosslinking can be carried out by a conventional method, for example, using an organic peroxide (for example, dichromyl peroxide). EXAMPLES Next, the present invention will be specifically explained with reference to Examples and Comparative Examples, but the present invention is not limited to these Examples. Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 6KV60sq and 154KV1000sq using polymers with the composition shown in Table 1 and their crosslinked products as insulators
The number of trees and/or
Alternatively, the number of repeated impulse failures was measured. The results are shown in Table-1. These results show that electrically insulated cables made of styrene-ethylene copolymer and its cross-linked material have superior tree resistance, and are more susceptible to repeated impulses than electrically insulated cables made of polyethylene and its cross-linked material. It is understood that it has excellent characteristics.
