Abstract:

The interface between the body and recovery insulation in factory joints is susceptible to localized electromechanical weaknesses, potentially compromising the long-term reliability of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) submarine cable systems. This study introduces ultrasonic vibration into the insulation recovery process of these joints. The effects of ultrasonic treatment are evaluated through tensile tests, thermal elongation tests, DC breakdown tests, and space-charge characterization. Results demonstrate that ultrasonic treatment significantly enhances interfacial tensile properties, improves deformation stability under thermal loading, increases the DC breakdown strength of the insulation interface, and significantly suppresses negative space-charge accumulation. These improvements are attributed to the high-frequency acoustic pressure and localized temperature rise induced by ultrasonic vibration, which promote molecular-chain melting and rearrangement, thereby reducing microscopic defects. This study provides an innovative method for the insulation recovery forming process in factory joints to improve interfacial reliability.
