Teaching content In the lecture, in addition to theoretical knowledge, also the practical side of high voltage cable technology will be treated. These are technical issues, e.g. water sensitivity of plastic cables, cable inspection, testing of already installed cables and the latest developments as in the field of superconductivity etc..
The contents of the lecture are:
  • Cable construction: materials / requirements / design
  • Cable Manufacturing: conductors / extrusion / shield / sheath (oil-paper insulation) / reinforcement
  • Quality requirements and routine-/selection-/type- long term test / ISO 9001, standards, aging, endurance
  • Cable junction technique: sockets / terminations / materials / field grading systems / cable connection
  • Cable Systems: load / mech. requirements / ind. voltage / short circuit requirements / transient requirements / installation techniques
  • Design and operation: route planning / laying / commissioning / monitoring / maintenance
  • Trends: High-temperature superconductivity, Submarine cable, DC cable, forced cooling, GIL
Learning objectives Students learn the basic structure of a cable. They know the technical requirements both for the material and the design of a high voltage cable. The basics of manufacturing technology and the necessary tests are learned. The students are also able to evaluate new trends in cable technology.
Prerequisites Recommended: B.Sc. ETiT Electrical Power Systems
Material All materials will be available in Moodle.
Examination The exam date will be announced in Moodle.
The examination takes place in form of a written exam (duration: 90 minutes). If one can estimate that less than 4 students register, the examination will be an oral examination (duration: 30 min.). The type of examination will be announced in the beginning of the lecture.
Guest lectures & Excursions A full-day excursion to Mannheim is offered:
Factory tour at Südkabel in the morning and tour at the CESI test laboratory (FGH) in the afternoon.
Dates and further information will be announced in Moodle.
