Being a part of the power cable network, the cable terminal is more likely to have issues. And these problems usually derive from production or installation. In a regular PD check, an internal discharge caused by a design flaw in the cable terminal was found. And this design has been widely applied in the real practice. Aiming at this kind of defects, this paper figured out the causes of the fault, and quantified the influence of several parameters on the defects by finite element method. Related improvements have also been introduced in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
