Quantifying possible transmission network benefits from higher cable conductor temperatures

The maximum current rating of high voltage power cables is limited by the allowable conductor temperature, in order to prevent damage to the adjacent dielectric material. Cross-linked polyethylene dielectrics are generally subject to a thermal limit of 90°C in the UK. The use of novel new dielectric...
