Abstract

To improve the reliability of power supply and meet the requirement of urban landscaping, XLPE cable has been widely used with the development of city power grid because of its obvious advantages. The rated overvoltage withstanding ability of 10kV XLPE cable accessories are much higher than the switching overvoltage caused by reclosing. However, after routine tests and maintenance, multiple accidents of the cable accessories occur during reclosing. In order to clarify the influence of switching impulse on the degradation of cable accessories, in this paper, switching impulses of 250/2500μs with 50 kV were applied on cable accessories with misplacing stress defect and knife incision defect. The partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV) and partial discharge extinction voltage (PDEV) of these degraded samples were recorded. Results show that the PDIV and PDEV of cable accessories decrease with the time increasing of applied switching impulses. Cable accessories with misplacing stress defect had a worse PD behavior. The multiple switching overvoltage accelerate the degradation of cable accessory insulation. Test conclusions can contribute to evaluate the life-time of cable and determine the retire time.
