Abstract

This paper describes the dielectric and accelerated aging tests on an 800 kV AC polypropylene laminated paper (PPLP) insulated low-loss SCFF cable prototype. The test program was developed to validate the PPLP technology for future Hydro-Quebec 765 kV St-Lawrence under-river crossings. The paper reports on the cable and accessories characteristics, the test line construction, the test program, and the main results obtained. The successfully completed program has shown the overall very good performance of the cable and its accessories
