Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical and experimental study on the ampacity of the prefabricated straight-through joint of a 110 kV high voltage cable. Thermal modelling revealed that the critical spot limiting the ampacity of this type of cable joint is located on its crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation section. The axial distribution of the thermal field in this type of cable joint was also determined. An algorithm for assessing ampacity in this type of cable joint was developed. Experiments were conducted on a real cable system with a prefabricated straight-through joint under different loading conditions. The experiments show a good agreement with the thermal modelling results.
