<p>Power electronics used for HVDC converters will stress cable insulation with a DC voltage with superimposed transients. The effect these transients have on the performance of the polymeric cable insulation is yet not clear. The main purpose of this work has been to investigate the effect of such transients on XLPE cable insulation when exposed to moisture. </p><p>Laboratory experiments were performed on Rogowski shaped test objects with an insulation thickness of 1.3 mm. At one of the semi-conductors, 20 sodium chloride (NaCl) particles were placed in order to facilitate initiation of vented water trees. The test objects were conditioned with water at 20 °C for two months ensuring saturation of water inside the insulation system before testing.<br />The test objects were aged with an AC voltage simulating the transients from a HVDC converter. Experiments were performed using the AC voltage with and without DC stress to investigate the influence of the DC level on the water tree growth. The ageing was done at 30 °C.</p><p>Test objects were taken out and inspected for water tree growth regularly. The results show a rapid ageing caused by water treeing when exposed to the DC voltage overlaid AC voltage with a frequency of 5 kHz and a pure AC voltage stress.</p>

The effect of electrical aging on the trap parameter of HVAC XLPE cable insulation was investigated in this work. Thermally Stimulated Current (TSC) was used to measure depolarization current. The variation of trap parameter was calculated by means of start-up method based on the Gaussian fitting curve of TSC data. It was found that, the activation energy and the amount of trap charge obtained from TSC peak at 243K and 348K were increased after electrical aging, which may be benefit to characterize the degree of aging. The amount of trap charge in the two peaks increases as the increase of oxide dipole after electrical aging. And charge trapped described by the TSC peak at melting temperature increased after aging. It is considered that the increase of charge in the TSC peak can be attributed to the release of trap charge in the melt crystallization process, which corresponds to the α relaxation process in XLPE insulation.
