Abstract:The combined insulation interface of a high-voltage cable and accessories is the weakest part of a cable system. In this paper, the parameters of the dielectric constant, thermal conductivity, and elastic modulus of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and silicone rubber (SIR) are obtained experimentally. On this basis, the model of a specific type of 110 kV cable and prefabricated insulation joint is established. A simulation of the electric-thermal-stress coupling field in the presence of typical defects in the main insulation-inner semi-conductive (SEMI) shielding layer (XLPE/SEMI interface) and the main insulation-silicone rubber insulation layer (XLPE/SIR interface) is studied. The simulation results show that at the XLPE/SIR interface, the electric field distortion caused by bubble defects reached 20.17 kV/mm, and the temperature rose to 56.15 degrees C. The effect of air-gap defects on the interface is similar to that of bubble defects. In addition, the semi-conductive impurity defects induced an increase in temperature to 56.82 degrees C and an increase in stress to 0.32 MPa. At the XLPE/SEMI interface, the electric field distortion induced by bubble defects was 19.98 kV/mm, and the temperature rose to 61.72 degrees C. The electric field distortion caused by metallic and semi-conductive defects was 8.44 kV/mm and 8.64 kV/mm, respectively. This study serves as a reference for the fault analysis and the operation and maintenance of cable accessories.
