21、tablishing volume resistivity compatibility of water blocking components with extruded semiconducting shields utilized in MV, HV or EHV power cables. The compatibility test is designed to verify that the electrical properties of a semiconducting material used as a conductor or insulation shield are

22、not adversely affected when exposed to a water blocking component. These water blocking components can be incorporated in a conductor, over a conductor, over an insulation shield, or around a metallic shield or concentric neutral. It describes a test method of demonstrating that the volume resistivi

23、ty and volume resistivity stability remain within their specified limits when a semiconducting material is exposed to a water blocking component at the emergency operating temperature of the cable. 1.2 GENERAL INFORMATION Units in this Standard are expressed in the English system. For information pu

24、rposes only, their approximate metric equivalents are included. 1.3 DEFINITIONS Water Blocking Component: A non-metallic material incorporated in a cable construction intended as an impediment to water penetration. A water blocking component can be a pumpable or extrudable conductor filler compound,

25、 a water swellable tape, yarn, or powder, or a combination thereof. ANSI/ICEA T-32-645-2012 (R2017) Page 2 Copyright 2017 by the Insulated Cable Engineers Association, Incorporated. Section 2 TEST SPECIMENS 2.1 SPECIMEN PREPARATION The combination of water blocking component and semiconducting shiel

26、d material are to be prepared as per the appropriate Specimen Preparation Procedure provided in Appendices A and B. Appendix A: pumpable conductor filler compounds with conductor shield materials; water swellable powders with conductor and insulation shield materials; Appendix B: extrudable conducto

27、r filler compounds with conductor shield materials; water swellable tapes with conductor and insulation shield materials; and water swellable yarns with conductor and insulation shield materials. Alternate methods of specimen preparation may be permitted provided the final test specimens fully compl

28、y with paragraph 2.2 and that Appendices A and B, as applicable, would serve as a referee method. 2.2 MEASUREMENT ELECTRODES Two silver-painted electrodes shall be applied to each side of the semiconducting shield material specimen. The two potential electrodes (inner) shall be at least 2 inches (50

29、.8 mm) apart and shall be 0.125 inch (3.18 mm) minimum width. A current electrode shall be placed at least 1 inch (25.4 mm) beyond each potential electrode. When a high degree of accuracy is not required, this test may be made with only two electrodes spaced at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) apart. After

30、the paint has been allowed to dry for at least one hour at room temperature, copper wires are applied around each silver paint band and twisted to form a tail. Silver paint may be applied to the copper wire to help ensure intimate contact with the electrodes. These copper wires shall be extended to

31、allow resistance measurements of the specimens while at the emergency operating test temperature in an oven. The final test specimens shall be as shown in Figures 1 or 2 based upon the number of electrodes used. ANSI/ICEA T-32-645-2012 (R2017) Page 3 Copyright 2017 by the Insulated Cable Engineers A

32、ssociation, Incorporated. Section 3 TEST EQUIPMENT 3.1 MEASURING INSTRUMENT A suitable instrument (e.g., Wheatstone Kelvin Bridge or Ohmmeter) or instruments (e.g., voltmeter and ammeter) shall be utilized for determining resistance and provide a source of 60 Hz ac or dc voltage. The energy released

33、 in the conducting component shall not exceed 100 milliwatts. 3.2 OVEN A convection type, forced draft, circulating air oven, shall be utilized capable of maintaining any constant ( 3C) temperature up to 140C, e.g., Hot Pack Model 120414, Blue M Model OV-490, Precision Type A. 3.3 TEMPERATURE RECORD

34、ER A suitable recorder shall be utilized for measuring oven temperature continuously. ANSI/ICEA T-32-645-2012 (R2017) Page 4 Copyright 2017 by the Insulated Cable Engineers Association, Incorporated. Section 4 COMPATIBILITY EVALUATION 4.1 COMPATIBILITY TEST PROCEDURE Five specimens shall be subjecte

35、d to the stability of volume resistivity test per ICEA Publication T-25-425, “Guide for Establishing Stability of Volume Resistivity for Conducting Polymeric Components of Power Cables.” When testing water blocking components prepared in accordance with Appendix B (extrudable strand filling compound

36、s, water swellable tapes, or water swellable yarns), in order to maintain good contact with the semiconducting shield material during oven aging, a nominal 1400 gram metal plate may be placed on top of each set of five specimens. Polyester sheets shall be used to isolate the specimens electrically f

37、rom the plate and facilitate resistance measurements. At the conclusion of the stability test, all five specimens are removed from the oven and allowed to cool at room temperature. An attempt to remove as much as possible of the water blocking component shall be made without any damage to the semico

38、nducting shield material specimens. For the four-electrode method, connect the two outer electrodes (current) in series with the current source and an ammeter, or the current leads of a bridge. Connect the two inner electrodes (potential) to potentiometer leads of a bridge, or to a voltmeter. A dc o

39、r 60 Hz ac source can be used. For the two-electrode method, connect the electrodes to an ohmmeter. The resistance of the conducting component between the electrodes shall be measured and the volume resistivity is computed as defined in Appendix C, and recorded. 4.2 PERFORMANCE EVALUATION The combin

40、ation of the water blocking component and the semiconducting shield material is found compatible upon satisfying the requirements of 4.2.1 and 4.2.2. 4.2.1 Volume Resistivity The volume resistivity of each specimen shall not exceed the maximum value allowed by the applicable ICEA Standard for the co

41、nductor shield or insulation shield material. 4.2.2 Volume Resistivity Stability Stability of volume resistivity of each specimen shall be demonstrated as defined and computed per ICEA Publication T-25-425.

Section 5 APPENDICIES APPENDIX A SPECIMEN PREPARATION PROCEDURE FOR PUMPABLE CONDUCTOR FILLING COMPOUNDS AND WATER SWELLABLE POWDERS (NORMATIVE) 1. Mold a 4-inch (10.16 cm) b

46、y 5-inch (12.70 cm) nominal 50-mil (1.27 mm) thick slab from the semiconducting shield material. Thickness tolerance 5 mils (0.13 mm). 2. Prepare a template to the same external dimensions of the molded plaque and with a thickness of minimum 10-mils (0.25 mm). A window shall be cut out from the cent

47、er of the template with internal dimensions of 2.5-inches (6.35 cm) wide by 1.5-inches (3.81 cm) long. 3. The template is to be placed centered over the molded plaque as shown in Figure A-1 and tightly secured. 4. Obtain a sufficient quantity of conductor filling compound or water swellable powder a

48、nd place it into the window on the template as shown in Figure A-2. The quantity must be sufficient to completely fill the window after pressing as shown in Figure A-3. Water swellable powder may be wetted to assist in adhesion to the plaque of semiconducting shield material. 5. Position a sheet of

49、5-mil (0.13 mm) thick polyester film 4-inch (10.16 cm) by 6-inch (15.24 cm) over the template. 6. Position the slab between 5-mil (0.13 mm) thick polyester film separator sheets, approximately 8-inch (20.32 cm) by 8-inch (20.32 cm). These sheets will prevent excess water blocking component from contaminating the press platens. 7. Place two steel shims of suitable thickness on the lower plate as shown in Figure A-3 so that the final thickness of the water blocking component, measured after the specimen is removed from
