Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a skin effect resistant large-section submarine cable conductor structure and a cable thereof, belonging to the field of cables. Background Art
[0002] With the advancement of offshore wind power technology, coastal countries around the world are gradually deepening the development of marine and offshore resources. The overall offshore wind power field is developing in the direction of high AC voltage, and the cross-sectional area of its conductors is increasing in response to this. Cable conductors will produce skin effect when AC current flows through them, and it becomes more serious as the conductor cross-section increases; the skin effect causes the effective electrical cross-section of the conductor to be smaller than the physical cross-section, which not only reduces the current carrying capacity of the cable, but also produces greater line losses, making the actual current carrying capacity of the conductor far lower than the theoretical value. Based on the above technical background, it is an important issue to reasonably optimize the conductor structure and production process, reduce the conductor skin effect, and reduce the AC resistance and current loss of the conductor.
[0003] At present, the production of large-section conductors mainly involves dividing the large-section conductors into several strands, which are insulated and isolated with insulating crepe paper and then twisted. This solution is equivalent to connecting multiple mutually insulated fan-shaped strands in parallel; due to the small cross-sectional area of a single fan-shaped strand, the skin effect of a single strand is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the AC resistance of the conductor. However, when this technology is applied to submarine cables, the differences in strands are often magnified due to water-blocking filling, resulting in an uneven cable surface and making it unsuitable for use. Submarine cables using this technical solution are often prone to problems such as slippage and misalignment, which greatly reduces the life of the cable and increases the risk of accidents, which is not conducive to the normal operation of the cable. Based on the above background, designing a conductor structure with high current carrying capacity, strong water-blocking performance, and a very smooth surface has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

The longitudinally wrapped water-blocking tape arranged between the layers can achieve a water-blocking effect between the layers;
[0007] The outer layer of the large-section submarine cable conductor structure of the utility model adopts a profiled wire structure, and the profiled wire layers are separated by enameled wire paint, which can ensure the insulation effect while fixing the conductor, effectively improve the smoothness of the conductor surface, reduce the outer diameter of the conductor, effectively reduce the embedding of the conductor shield, and make the electric field distribution on the conductor surface more uniform.

[0011] Further or optionally, the longitudinally wrapped water-blocking tape of the circular conductor layer is an insulating or semi-conductive water-blocking tape made of a non-woven fabric material containing water-absorbing and swelling particles, combined with a water-blocking yarn. When the cable is flooded, the water-absorbing particles can ensure the dryness of the inside of the cable and prevent the cable from failing.
[0012] Further or optionally, the cross-sectional area of the circular conductor layer is not less than 500m 2 , to ensure the current carrying capacity.
[0013] Further or optionally, the oxide film thickness of the circular conductor layer is not less than 1 mm to obtain a sufficient insulation effect.
[0014] Further or optionally, the profile of the profile layer is a T-shaped cross-section or a Z-shaped cross-section, so that the gap between the profiles is lower, the conductor cross-section filling rate is higher, the outer layer is less likely to become loose after twisting, and the water-blocking effect is better.

The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0034] (Example 1)
[0035] See Figure 1 The present embodiment provides a skin-effect resistant large-section submarine cable conductor structure, which is divided into a two-layer structure, including a circular conductor layer 1 and a profiled wire layer 2 from inside to outside; the circular conductor layer 1 is composed of a plurality of oxidized conductor monofilaments 11 twisted together, and each layer of conductor monofilaments 11 is provided with a longitudinal water-blocking tape 12 on the outside after being twisted; the profiled wire layer 2 is provided with at least two layers, and water-blocking material is filled between each profiled wire 21 of the same layer of the profiled wire layer, and wire enamel 22 is sprayed between each layer.
[0036] During the production process, the inner layer is twisted with compressed round copper conductors. The single wires of the round copper conductors are oxidized before twisting. The thickness of the oxide film of the round conductor layer 1 is not less than 1 mm, so that there is sufficient spacing and insulation between the single wires of the round copper conductors. After each layer is twisted, a layer of water-blocking tape is longitudinally wrapped on the surface of the round copper conductor. The water-blocking filling material is composed of an insulating or semi-conductive water-blocking tape made of non-woven fabric containing water-absorbing and expanding particles combined with a water-blocking yarn.
[0037] In order to ensure the current carrying effect, the cross-sectional area of the inner circular conductor layer 1 shall not be less than 500m 2 .
[0038] After the inner circular conductor layer 1 is twisted, the outer layer is twisted with the profile wire layer 2. During the twisting process, water-blocking material is filled between the conductors of the same layer of profile wire. In order to overcome the problem of insufficient filling of ordinary water-repellent materials, the water-blocking material filled in the profile wire layer is a rubber-based semiconductor water-repellent compound. After each layer of profile wire is twisted, enameled wire paint is applied on its outer layer to enhance the water-blocking effect. In terms of material selection, one of polyurethane paint, polyester imide paint, and polyester paint can be selected.
[0039] In order to ensure the filling factor of the conductor during the twisting process, the wire of the wire layer 2 adopts a T-shaped cross-section or a Z-shaped cross-section. In this way, the probability of sliding between the single wires of the wire is smaller after the twisting is completed, and the probability of the outer wire layer 2 being loose is relatively low. When used in submarine cables, the probability of water ingress is smaller.
[0040] The utility model also provides a cable, which is made of the above-mentioned anti-skin effect large-section submarine cable conductor structure. During production, a metal shielding layer, an insulating layer, an insulating shielding layer, a buffer layer, a metal sheath layer, an inner lining layer, an armor layer, and an outer layer are sequentially arranged on the outer layer of the conductor provided by the utility model. The submarine cable has a large effective cross-section, low AC resistance and power loss, and a uniform conductor electric field. When laid on the seabed, the radius is small, the transportation cost is low, and the water-blocking effect is better than that of ordinary cables.
[0041] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
