[0002] In recent years, the all-electric drive technology for ships has become a new focus of ship drive technology research by various countries. The all-electric drive technology for ships uses an electric drive device as the main power system. The basic principle is that the prime mover drives the generator, and the generator drives the motor set to drive the propeller to rotate. At present, the medium-voltage DC integrated electric propulsion technology for ships has become the most promising technology in the all-electric drive technology for ships due to its advantages such as high power density, high operating efficiency, and high operation flexibility.

[0029] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined, words such as "set", "install", "connect", etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above words in the present utility model in combination with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0030] Medium-voltage DC ethylene propylene rubber insulated LSZH flame-retardant cable for ships, including a multi-strand stranded tinned copper conductor 1. The conductor structure adopts regular concentric stranding, so as to ensure the stability of the conductor structure and the roundness of the appearance while ensuring the resistance; the outer-layer stranding pitch diameter ratio is not greater than 12, and the conductor bunching and double stranding both adopt the same-direction stranding to effectively reduce the outer diameter, improve the flexibility of the product at the same time, facilitate installation and construction, and the single-wire tension should be evenly controlled to effectively avoid single-wire skipping strands.

[0031] Since the conductor adopts a multi-strand stranded conductor, it has a great impact on the partial discharge performance of the product. To fully reduce this risk, a first semiconductive tape 2 is overlapped and wrapped outside the conductor. A semiconductive nylon tape is used, and the lapping rate is not less than 20%.

[0032] There is a three-layer co-extrusion structure outside the first semiconductive tape 2, which are the conductor shielding layer 3, the insulation layer 4 and the insulation shielding layer 5 from the inside to the outside in sequence. Among them, the conductor shielding layer 3 adopts a cross-linked semiconductive rubber inner shielding material, and the extruded nominal thickness is 1.0 mm; the insulation layer ④ adopts natural ethylene propylene rubber, and the extruded nominal thickness is 2.5 mm. The average insulation thickness ≥ nominal thickness, the thinnest insulation thickness ≥ 90% nominal thickness, and the concentricity ≤ 1.15; the insulation shielding layer 5 adopts a cross-linked peelable semiconductive rubber outer shielding material, and the extruded nominal thickness is 0.8 mm. This three-layer co-extrusion structure realizes the simultaneous extrusion of the three layers through the co-extrusion process, using different bodies, the same extrusion head, and special die design. The advantages are as follows: it can avoid the mixing of impurities between layers and ensure the electrical performance of the product.

[0033] A second semiconductive tape 6 is wrapped outside the three-layer co-extrusion structure, and the lapping rate is not less than 20%. Since the conductor shielding layer 3 structure adopts a braided metal wire process, the wrapped second semiconductive tape 6 can prevent the shielding single wire from scratching the insulation layer.

[0034] There is a braided shielding layer 7 outside the second semiconductive tape 6, which is braided with tinned copper wires. The density of the braided shielding layer 7 is not less than 80%. If necessary, the braiding density can be increased according to the user's requirements; it can also adopt forms such as aluminum-plastic composite tape wrapping + braided copper wire composite shielding to further improve the electromagnetic shielding performance of the cable. The braided shielding layer 7 is arranged outside each insulated wire core to form a phase shielding, effectively equalizing the electric field.

[0035] The above-mentioned conductor 1, first semiconductive tape 2, three-layer co-extrusion structure, second semiconductive tape 6 and braided shielding layer 7 are stranded into an insulated wire core in the right direction after stranding, and the stranding pitch diameter ratio ≤ 15. In this embodiment, a halogen-free low-smoke flame-retardant polypropylene (PP) rope 8 is filled between the four insulated wire cores. The filling material should be suitable for the working temperature of the cable, compatible with the insulating material, and not adhere to the insulated wire core. After the four insulated wire cores are stranded, a high-flame-retardant tape is wrapped, and the tape lapping rate ≥ 15%.

[0036] The outermost layer is extruded with an outer sheath 10. The outer sheath 10 is selected from irradiated cross-linked polyolefin sheath materials with stable heat-aging performance, low smoke, halogen-free, low toxicity, flame retardant, oil resistance, and weather resistance. The material performance indicators meet the requirements of the standard GJB 1916 / GJB 774A. At the same time, the sheath material should also be resistant to γ-rays, with an oxygen index ≥ 32%. When necessary, characteristics such as anti-rat, anti-termite, and anti-ultraviolet can be considered. The average value of the sheath thickness ≥ the nominal thickness, and the thinnest part of the sheath ≥ 80% of the nominal thickness. The maximum thickness of the sheath on any cross-section of the cable ≤ 1.66 times the minimum thickness. When extruding the sheath, a halogen-free, low-smoke, and low-compression ratio screw should be selected, with a compression ratio of 1∶1.15. The die is of the extrusion type, effectively ensuring the non-roundness of the finished cable.

[0037] The medium-voltage DC ethylene-propylene rubber insulated LSZH flame-retardant cable for ships provided in this embodiment passes the following three special performance tests.

[0038] 1. Load cycle test: 12 24-hour load cycles under negative polarity UT(=1.85U0, U0 = 12.5 kV), 12 24-hour load cycles under positive polarity UT, and 3 48-hour load cycles under positive polarity UT; the test requires that the cable does not break down.

[0039] 2. DC superimposed switching impulse voltage test: Apply 10 consecutive pulses of U0→Up2,s(Up2,s = 30 kV), 10 consecutive pulses of U0→-Up2,s, 10 consecutive pulses of -U0→-Up2,s, and 10 consecutive pulses of -U0→Up2,o(Up2,o = 30 kV) in sequence, and no breakdown is required.

[0040] 3. Subsequent DC test: After completing the impulse test, apply a negative polarity DC voltage UT(2h) without heating, and no breakdown is required.

[0041] The performance of the finished cable meets all the above test requirements.

[0042] The test conditions for the DC superimposed switching impulse voltage test are specifically as follows: 10 consecutive pulses from U0→Up2,s(Up2,s is 1.15 times the maximum absolute peak voltage of the switching overvoltage, the voltage value that the cable system may withstand when the switching overvoltage and the actual DC voltage have the same polarity, Up2,s = 30 kV)+10 consecutive pulses from U0→-Up2,s+10 consecutive pulses from -U0→-Up2,s+10 consecutive pulses from -U0→Up2,o(Up2,o is 1.15 times the maximum absolute peak voltage of the switching overvoltage, the voltage value that the cable system may withstand when the switching overvoltage and the actual DC voltage have opposite polarities, Up2,o = 30 kV); the test requires that the cable does not break down.

[0043] The above has schematically described the present utility model and its implementation manners. This description is not restrictive, and only one of the implementation manners of the present utility model is shown in the accompanying drawings. The actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if those of ordinary skill in the art are inspired by it and design, without creative efforts, structural manners and embodiments similar to the technical solution without departing from the gist of the creation of the present utility model, they shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
