Stress control tube is used to reduce electric stress at cable termination.
Problem Type:
An axisymmetric problem of Transient electric field.
Geometry:
Given:
Relative permittivity of air ε = 1.
Relative permittivity of insulation ε = 2.
Relative permittivity of shield ε = 1.2.
Relative permittivity of stress control tube - nonlinear.
Voltage U = 4 kV.
Problem:
Calculate the effect of electric stress reduction.
Results:
With stress control tube the maximal electric stress reduces from 1.6 to 0.5 kV/mm.
