Groot(*) Delft University of Technology, HV Technology Management, The Netherlands (*)InfraCore, Alkmaar, The Netherlands 1 Cable Insulation Defects By registration of the disturbances in the power supply by network owners, statistical analysis can be made to indicate the major failure causes in the medium voltage power network. Still a lot of the breakdown in MV power cables are caused by non-electrical external causes. This can be damages caused by digging activities by other companies for other types of underground cables (e.g. telephone, gas) or caused by the movement of the soft wet ground. But still, most of the breakdowns are caused by internal defects in the insulation systems of the cable network, from which the majority occur in the cable joints. The remaining breakdowns occur in the cable terminations and the cable insulation itself. Visual inspection of the disturbed components gives insight in the different types of fault causes resulting in breakdowns. Figure C1 shows the analysis of a disturbed mass filled cable termination, which showed on all three phases sharp edges on the conductor connectors to the switch gear. On the fault place, two phases were only insulated by the plastic Figure C1: Fault cause analysis of disturbed cable cover of the termination, resulting in a breakdown termination. Several sharp edges on the connector were after several years, caused by PD activity from the found on all three phases. sharp
