Abstract:The impulse induced voltage between sheath and armour is the control condition to verify the safe operation of submarine cable with high voltage and large length. The simulation models for impulse induced voltage are built in PSCAD/EMTP. The influence of cable length, intruding surge waveform and cable structure parameters on the induced voltage between sheath and armour are calculated and analyzed. The effects of bondings at intervals between sheath and armour and using a semiconductive oversheath on limiting the induced voltage are analyzed. The research results show that the cable length, intruding surge waveform and cable [JP] structure parameters have an apparent influence on the induced voltage between sheath and armour, and the induced voltage decreases with the increase of the number of bondings and the increase of the conductivity of semiconductive oversheath.
