Abstract:
A HV power transmission line (106) with at least two tubular electrical insulation devices (108), at least one electrically uninsulated nominal conductor segment (102) and a joint (1 17) for jointing the ends of the insulation devices plus at least one power termination (109) for connecting the transmission line. The insulation device (108) is flexible, has an inner electrically conductive layer (1 10) at its inner wall surface, and is of such insulation quality that it can electrically insulate the conductor segment (102) from the exterior of the insulation device once inserted into the tubular insulation device. Once inserted the uninsulated conductor segment touches the inner electrically conductive layer (1 10) at an inner wall surface of the tubular electrical insulation device such that the inner electrically conductive layer (1 10) is on the same electric potential as the conductor segment in an operating state of the HV power transmission line each.
Abstract:
Flexible and bendable tubular electrical insulator (1) for use in a high voltage power transmission. The electrical insulator (1) has an electrically conductive carrier tube (4) that is covered by a first electrically conductive layer (5), an electrically insulating layer (6) and a second electrically conductive layer (7). The first conductive layer (5) and the insulating layer (6) are co-extruded onto the carrier tube (4) by way of co-extrusion such that the insulating layer (6) is arranged in between the first conductive layer (5) and the second conductive layer (7) in a radial direction, and such that the first conductive layer (5) is electrically connected to the carrier tube (4), wherein the first conductive layer adheres to the electrically insulating layer and wherein the electrically insulating layer adheres to the second conductive layer.
