HIGH VOLTAGE INDUCTION DEVICE

摘要

A high voltage induction device including a power cable (12) comprising inner conducting means (13-15) and outer electrical insulation (20-22) having spaced apart inner and outer layers (20, 21) of semiconducting material and, positioned between the inner and outer layers, and intermediate layer (22) of electrically insulating material. The conducting means comprises conductor means (14) and cooling means (13) for cooling the conductor means (14) to improve the electrical conductivity of the conductor means. The inner layer (20) of semiconducting material is electrically connected to the conductor means and the outer layer (21) of semiconducting material is at a controlled electric potential along its length.
