Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to an electrical insulation composition of a polyolefin, which can be used for medium and high voltage from about 10 kV and which resists effectively and permanently the formation of so-called water trees. The insulative polyolefin contains an inorganic oxide additive, in homogeneous distribution therewith, at a concentration of 0.05 to 10% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition. The additive is absorption-active for heavy metal ions and/or binds heavy metal ions in an ion exchange, with a particle size of up to 50 um or an agglomerate size of up to 100 um. It can be silica, alumina, hydrated alumina or an aluminum silicate. The electrical insulation according to the invention is particularly well-suited for use in cables and wires.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
An insulated electrical conductor comprising an electrically conducting material in combination with an electrically insulating polyolefin composition containing in a homogeneous distribution 0.1 to 4 percent by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of an inorganic oxide additive selected from silica, aluminum oxide, aluminum oxide hydrate or aluminum silicate which is absorption-active for heavy metal ions or which binds heavy metal ions in an ion exchange, and which has a particle size of up to 50 microns or an agglomerate size of up to 100 microns, said additive acting upon said polyolefin composition to prevent the formation of water trees when said composition is dielectrically stressed by the presence of an electric field.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
An insulated electrical conductor comprising an electrically conducting material in combination with an electrically insulating polyolefin composition containing in a homogeneous distribution 0.1 to 4 percent by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition, of an inorganic oxide additive selected from silica, aluminum oxide, aluminum oxide hydrate or aluminum silicate which is absorption-active for heavy metal ions or which binds heavy metal ions in an ion exchange, and which has a particle size of up to 50 microns or an agglomerate size of up to 100 microns, said additive acting upon said polyolefin composition to prevent the formation of water trees when said composition is dielectrically stressed by the presence of an electric field.
