The internal pressures in the insulation of two 5-m long pieces of a state-of-the art mass-impregnated non-draining subsea cable have been measured under load current cycling at ambient temperatures ranging from 3 to 37 °C. Thermal expansion of the mass gives in some cases rather extreme internal pr...

The research and development work towards a compact SF₆-free load break switch for the medium voltage range has led to several design proposals. The interruption capability of three different nozzle and gas flow concepts with atmospheric air as the interrupting medium is compared and assessed. The t...

Partial discharge measurements have been used for studying shrinkage voids in the insulation of mass-impregnated high voltage DC subsea power cables. Three 4.5-m long cable samples were subjected to ac partial discharge measurements at different ambient temperatures, both under isothermal conditi...

Ablation-assisted current interruption is a candidate for improving interruption capability in medium voltage switchgear. In high voltage switchgear, ablation is utilized to achieve high pressures in self-blast circuit breakers. Self-blast switch technology adapted to medium voltage could represent ...

Field windings made of MgB2 wires or tapes are considered for their potential to reduce volume, weight and cost of large offshore wind turbine generators. To gain experience of how to use this relatively new material in full-scale generators, tests of different winding methodologies and techniques a...
