Abstract
The increased need of continuous high-quality electrical energy combined with various issues related to underground cable makes the condition assessment of the cable very necessary. The main contribution of this paper is to establish the correlation between Tanδ Tip-up and partial discharge performance of newly manufactured medium voltage cable samples of 11 and 33 kV, of crossed-linked polyethylene (XLPE), at power frequency. A complete sequence of type test is performed which includes partial discharge test, Tanδ test, heat cycle test, bending test, impulse test and HV AC withstand test. From the results obtained, the Tanδ Tip-up value and partial discharge value are used and performance ranking is done. On the basis of performance ranking, a plot is obtained which correlates the above-mentioned features and shows which sample has better performance as compared to other.
