Cross-linked polyethylene insulated cables
Abstract
Abstract @ A cross-linked polyethylene cable produced by extrusion coating a polyethylene composition 2 on a conductor 1, the polyethylene composition comprising polyethylene, more than 10% to less than 30% by weight of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having a VA content of more than 25% to less than 35% by weight and an organic peroxide and thereafter cross-linking the thus coated polyethylene composition. Such a cable shows greatly improved resistance to degradation under continuously applied voltages at high temperature for extended periods of time. Thus, the cable has a long service life even when used under conditions of high temperature for extended period of time.
