A DC CABLE FOR HIGH VOLTAGES WITH SUPERIMPOSED FILM-LIKE LAYERS

摘要

A DC cable for high voltages has at least an inner conductor (8) surrounded by an insulating layer (10) configured to take the voltage to be taken between the conductor and the surroundings of the cable. The insulating layer is formed by a plurality of superimposed film-like layers (12) of insulating material each having isolated areas of metal (13) on top thereof. The metal areas of consecutive such film-like layers are at least partially overlapping each other as seen in the radial direction of the cable so as to create a large number of small capacitors in said insulating layer of the cable.
