Abstract

A power cable with a termination connection box. The power cable includes a conductor, an inner semiconducting layer, an insulating layer, and an outer semiconducting layer which are sequentially formed. The termination connection box includes: a porcelain tube configured to provide an inner space into which an end portion of the power cable from which portions of the outer semiconducting layer, the insulating layer, and the inner semiconducting layer are sequentially removed is inserted; and a reinforcing insulating layer configured to cover an outer side of the insulating layer of the power cable so as to reinforce dielectric strength of a portion of the power cable from which the portion of the outer semiconducting layer is removed and at which an electric field is thus concentrated.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A power cable with a termination connection box, the power cable comprising a conductor, an inner semiconducting layer, an insulating layer, and an outer semiconducting layer which are sequentially formed,
wherein the insulating layer comprises composite insulating paper, wherein surfaces of the insulating layer which are in contact with the inner semiconducting layer and the outer semiconducting layer are wound with insulating paper including only kraft paper, and
the composite insulating paper has a structure in which the kraft paper is stacked on top and bottom surfaces of thermoplastic resin, and
wherein the termination connection box comprises:
a porcelain tube configured to provide an inner space into which an end portion of the power cable from which portions of the outer semiconducting layer, the insulating layer, and the inner semiconducting layer are sequentially removed is inserted; and
a reinforcing insulating layer configured to cover an outer side of the insulating layer of the power cable so as to reinforce dielectric strength of a portion of the power cable from which the portion of the outer semiconducting layer is removed and at which an electric field is thus concentrated,
wherein the reinforcing insulating layer comprises the same insulating paper as an outermost layer of the insulating layer of the power cable.

2. The power cable of claim 1 , wherein the reinforcing insulating layer comprises the kraft paper.

3. The power cable of claim 2 , an electric-field mitigation cone configured to mitigate concentration of an electric field, and a shielding layer are provided in the porcelain tube.

4. The power cable of claim 3 , wherein the reinforcing insulating layer supports the electric-field mitigation cone.

5. The power cable of claim 4 , wherein the reinforcing insulating layer comprises an upper inclined portion having a predetermined slope toward an end portion of the termination connection box from which the conductor is pushed out, wherein the upper inclined portion corresponds to an upper portion of the termination connection box.

6. The power cable of claim 5 , wherein the termination connection box further comprises a core provided on the exposed insulating layer of the power cable and corresponding to the upper inclined portion of the reinforcing insulating layer,
wherein the electric-field mitigation cone is formed by winding a plurality of pieces of insulating paper around the core.

7. The power cable of claim 6 , wherein the core comprises:
a first base portion provided on an outer circumference of the insulating layer of the power cable;
a second base portion which is in closely contact with an outer circumference of the reinforcing insulating layer; and
an inclined portion connecting the first base portion and the second base portion to each other,
wherein the inclined portion corresponds to the upper inclined portion of the reinforcing insulating layer.

8. The power cable of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of pieces of insulating paper of the electric-field mitigation cone comprise a structure in which kraft paper is stacked on top and bottom surfaces of thermoplastic resin.

9. The power cable of claim 3 , wherein the shielding layer is electrically connected to the outer semiconducting layer of the power cable inserted into the porcelain tube.

10. The power cable of claim 3 , wherein the reinforcing insulating layer comprises a lower inclined portion having a predetermined slope in a direction in which the power cable is inserted, wherein the lower inclined portion corresponds to a lower portion of the termination connection box.

11. The power cable of claim 10 , wherein the shielding layer is provided along the lower inclined portion of the reinforcing insulating layer, such that the shielding layer tilts at a predetermined angle with respect to an outer surface of the insulating layer of the power cable exposed in a direction of the end portion of the termination connection box from which the conductor is pushed out and extends to the reinforcing insulating layer and at least a portion of the electric-field mitigation cone.
