(Prior technology) Traditionally, cross-linked polyethylene, which has excellent insulation performance and thermal properties, has been used as the insulator for power cables, but such power cables suffer from insulation problems due to the occurrence of water trees. Decrease in performance is a problem,
Particularly when used under humid or submerged conditions, the occurrence of water tree is significant.In contrast, conventionally, crosslinked polyethylene has been made with hydrophilic fats (e.g. ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer,
Butene copolymers, etc.) can be added to prevent local concentration of water molecules, or a water layer such as lead laminate tape can be installed around the cable to prevent water from entering from outside. Efforts are being made to suppress the occurrence of

However, although the addition of hydrophilic additives suppresses the occurrence of water trees to some extent, the addition of hydrophilic additives significantly reduces the electrical properties of the insulator, especially the tanδ properties and insulation resistance. This resulted in problems, and as a result, there was a drawback in that the insulation performance could not be improved. Furthermore, the method of providing a water layer has disadvantages in that it increases the number of manufacturing steps, prolongs the working time and increases costs, and the finished outer diameter of the resulting cable becomes large.
