Summary
A possibility to diagnose the integral condition of a cable system is the measurement of the dielectric loss factor tan d. Thereby the measured dielectric loss factor tan d is frequency-dependent. Due to a high accuracy and reproducibility, the loss factor measurement over a certain frequency domain considers various factors of influence like the temperature or the humidity of the cable. Moreover, some constructive properties of the cable are also influencing the measurement. With the aid of this loss factor measurement method, the influence of the semi-conductive shields on the loss factor tan d is investigated in this paper. It has been determined that for lower frequencies up to a few Hz the loss factor tan d is dominated by the cable insulation. At higher frequencies, the semi-conductive shields are dominating the loss factor characteristics. With these results it is possible to determine a reasonable frequency domain for the loss factor measurement of XLPE-insulated medium voltage cables. Finally these findings allow to acquire a better interpretation of the loss factor measurements. That leads to a precise statement of the present status of the insulation of XPLE-medium voltage cables.
