HV Cable Sheath Voltage Limiters

Due to a highly non-linear and non-ohmic current-voltage characteristic, the sheath voltage limiters do not conduct any significant current during normal and fault-operating conditions regardless of the magnitude of power frequency induced voltages. For this application the function of surge arresters is limited only to protect the cable anti-corrosion jacket and bonding system against switching and lightning surges to values below the breakdown strength of protected elements. As a consequence all elements of the cable bonding system must be designed to withstand the induced power frequency voltages, both during normal and fault operations. In return the SVLs are designed to withstand the residual voltage due to current surges and to have the thermal capability to absorb and dissipate the energy of conducted surges.

HV Cable Sheath Voltage Limiters

The use of non-combustible materials such as porcelain for post insulators, polymer for sheath voltage limiters and non-flammable insulating materials for all component parts incorporated in link box. Suitable rated connections of very low contact resistance to eliminated hot spots and thermal sparking within the link box. The metallic box and its sealing system are usually designed to withstand an explosive internal pressure of up to 250 kilo Pascals. The use of high current rated Zinc-Oxide SVL arresters instead of Silicon Carbide, spark gap or other types of arresters to satisfy the most onerous cable operating conditions. The Zinc Oxide SVL arresters exhibit far superior electrical characteristics and long-term reliability
