Current Situation Analysis


Why do relevant domestic and international departments widely recommend using AC withstand voltage instead of DC withstand voltage? With the development of the national economy and the increase in the voltage level of urban power supply, cross-linked polyethylene insulated power cables (XLPE) have been increasingly widely used both domestically and internationally due to their reasonable process and structure, excellent electrical performance, and safe and reliable operation characteristics. Especially in the field of high-voltage transmission, significant progress has been made. Compared with oil-filled cables, cross-linked cables are easy to lay and install, simple to operate and maintain, and do not have the problem of oil leakage. However, in recent years, operation and research have shown that the insulation of cross-linked polyethylene cables is prone to tree-like discharge during operation, causing insulation aging and damage, which seriously affects the service life of XLPE insulated power cables. Therefore, fully understanding the insulation characteristics of cross-linked cables and timely and effectively detecting and preventing certain defects in the insulation are of great significance for ensuring the safe operation of equipment and even the entire system. This paper elaborates on the main factors affecting the insulation of cross-linked cables and the principle of cable handover tests, and believes that it is necessary and feasible to implement AC withstand voltage tests on cross-linked cables on site. To ensure the safe and reliable operation of cables, relevant international standards have clearly stipulated various tests for cables. The main test items include: measuring insulation resistance, DC withstand voltage, and leakage current. Among them, measuring insulation resistance is mainly to check whether the cable insulation is aged, damp, or has insulation defects exposed during the withstand voltage test. DC withstand voltage and leakage current tests are carried out simultaneously, with the purpose of detecting defects in the insulation. However, in recent years, domestic and international test and operation experience has proven that DC withstand voltage tests cannot effectively detect insulation defects in cross-linked cables, and may even cause insulation hazards. In Germany, Sechiswag Company conducted tests on 41 circuits of 10 kV XLPE cables from 1978 to 1980, with 87 failures; in Sweden, more than 9,000 km of 3 kV to 24.5 kV XLPE cables were put into operation, with 107 failures. Domestically, cable accidents have also occurred multiple times, and a considerable number of cable faults were caused by the negative effects of frequent DC withstand voltage tests. Therefore, relevant domestic and international departments widely recommend using AC withstand voltage to replace traditional DC withstand voltage. From the 1980s to the mid-1990s, advanced countries such as Canada, Germany, and the United States formulated corresponding AC withstand voltage test standards and promoted their application. Since the late 1990s, regions in China such as Guangdong, Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, and Shandong have issued interim regulations for AC testing of XLPE cables. The national standard GB50150-2006 "Standard for Handover Test of Electrical Equipment Installation Engineering" recommends the use of variable frequency series resonance withstand voltage method.
