Electric power cable for medium or high voltage

摘要

An electric power cable for medium or high voltage without lead sheath is provided having at least one diffusion barrier (7) based on a metallized layer or a layer of polymer (HDPE). In addition there is a polymer (PUR) layer (6) for absorbing limited amounts of water that might after all pass through the diffusion barrier layer.

主权项

1. Electric power cable for medium or high voltage, comprising;
at least one conductor(s); insulation material surrounding said conductor(s); and layers for protection and for impeding penetration of water or moisture into the insulation material, wherein said layers include; a first water diffusion barrier layer constructed as at least one layer of metalized film, said metalized film having a material on at least one surface for sealing the film to itself and to an adjacent layer; at least one water absorption layer surrounding said first water diffusion barrier; and a second water diffusion barrier layer having at least one polymer sheath surrounding said at least one water absorption layer; wherein said at least one water absorption layer is bounded by said first and second water diffusion barrier layers, and wherein said first and second water diffusion barrier layers are arranged more than one layer outside said insulating material.
