for SC meetings.
- Cable Construction and Design
Working Group 5-25 Sponsored
Presentations

WG 5-25 Special Presentation
- Al Gilbert and Frank Precopio, Retired, GE, "Invention of XLPE"
Working Group 5-29 Sponsored Presentations
- C. G. Reid, Union Carbide, "Low Strip Force Insulation Shields
for Solid Dielectric MV Cables"
Abstract: A new insulation shield
compound has been developed, which exhibits strip force of less than 10 pounds per half
inch on XLPE and TRXLPE insulated MV cables, and is very uniform as a function of
temperature. As a consequence of cleanliness improvements, the peeled interface with
XLPE/TRXLPE is very clean and essentially free of conductive debris larger than 25
microns. Strip force retention after AEIC dry cyclic aging of MV cables meets ICEA
requirements
- J. V. Accorsi, Cabot, "Historical Review of Conventional
Furnace Black Quality Improvements"
Abstract: What is meant by the
term "Conventional Furnace Black"? Although morphological parameters have
remained constant, product quality (physical and chemical purity) has improved
significantly over the years to better serve the industry. In comparing cable life data it
is important to keep in mind the "vintage" of the carbon black used in the
conductor shield.
Samples of a widely used conventional furnace black from 1971 to 1997 were tested for a
number of properties related to product quality. Results will be compared against
acetylene black and extra-clean furnace black.

- Mohamed Chaaban,
Hydro-Quebec, New Developments in
Submersible System Components for Underground Residential Distribution
Abstract:
ABB and Hydro-Quebec have developed a solid insulation distribution transformer
(SIDT) in ratings up to 500 KVA, 14.4 KV, 125 KV-BIL. It is suited for buried vault and
vault-less construction. The insulation is moisture impervious. The non-metallic
construction is free from corrosion. The elimination of oil results in a non-explosive
failure mode and environmentally friendly construction materials.
The insulated conductor with termination components mounted in the typical URD pad
mounted transformer are proposed for installation in a shallow sub-surface elbow switching
and secondary service and fusing compartment. This then would form the basis for a total
underground construction for URD.
