PURPOSE:To provide a cable preventing generation and progress of a water tree so as to improve the water tree resistance by having a layer of high degree of cross-linking of a specific gel% in the interface between the internal and external semiconductive layers with which insulater layers come in contact. CONSTITUTION:A semiconductive composition, in which conductive carbon and a cross linking agent dicumyl peroxide (DCP) are blended with polyethylene, an insulating composition, in which the DCP is blended with polyethylene, and a semiconductive composition, in which conductive carbon and DCP are blended with polyethylene are simultaneously extruded on a copper stranded wire conductor 1 for covering it and heat cross-linking is performed so as to form an internal semiconductive layer 2, an insulator layer 3 and an external semiconductive layer 4. Further, a covering 5 consisting of soft vinyl chloride resin is formed thereon, for manufacturing a cable. At this time, the insulator layer 3 is divided into five parts (3a to 3e) in approx. even thickness having a layer of high degree of cross-linking where gel% in the interface between the internal and external semiconductive layers and the vicinities thereof is set to 85% or more, desirably 86 to 90%, and the cable having the improved water tree resistance is obtained.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a crosslinked polyethylene insulated cable has been widely used as a high voltage power cable. This crosslinked polyethylene insulated cable is generally constructed by forming an inner semiconductive layer, a crosslinked polyethylene insulation layer, and an outer semiconductive layer on a conductor by three-layer coextrusion, and covering the outer circumference with a jacket. It has high dielectric strength, high volume resistivity, and low dielectric constant and dielectric loss tangent.

By the way, in this type of cable,

Under these circumstances, recently, the generation and development of this water tree is greatly influenced by the ionic impurities mixed in the insulator layer, and the main causes of the mixing of the ionic impurities are internal and internal. It has become clear that it is in the conductive carbon contained in the outer semiconductive layer.

Therefore, for example, by changing the type of conductive carbon used for forming the semiconductive layer, thoroughly controlling it, or by using an additive that suppresses the influence of ionic impurities, Attempts have been made to suppress the contamination or influence of the conductive impurities on the insulating layer, thereby improving the water resistance of the cable.

A water resistant tree cable according to the present invention is a cable in which an inner semiconductive layer, an insulator layer, an outer semiconductive layer, and an outer cover are sequentially formed on a conductor. The interface between the internal and external semiconductive layers of the body layer and its vicinity is 85% gel fraction, preferably 86-90.

In the present invention, the highly crosslinked layer having a gel fraction of 85% or more is 0.5 mm from the interface with the internal or external semiconductive layer.
It is desirable to have the above thickness, and therefore, it does not matter if the entire insulating layer is formed of a highly crosslinked layer having a gel fraction of 85% or more. Further, this highly crosslinked layer does not necessarily need to have a uniform gel fraction over the entire layer, and may have a gel fraction of at least 85% over the entire layer. By providing such a highly cross-linked layer, it is possible to prevent the generation and development of a water tree from the inside of the insulator layer and the interface with the outer semiconductive layer, and improve the water tree resistance. It is considered that this is because the highly crosslinked layer effectively prevents the conductive carbon in the inner and outer semiconductive layers from mixing ionic impurities into the insulator layer from the inner or outer semiconductive layer.

When the gel fraction of the highly crosslinked layer is less than 85%, it is impossible to prevent the ionic impurities from being mixed into the insulator layer from the inner or outer semiconductive layer, and the water tree resistance is sufficiently improved. I can't let you do it.

The ionic impurities are prevented from being mixed into the body layer, which suppresses the generation and development of water trees, resulting in a significant improvement in water tree resistance.
