| Abstract | The insulation material that is mainly in use nowadays for MV cables is cross-linked Polyethylene (XLPE). The crosslinking of the material requires specific production facilities and makes XLPE non re-usable. Some years ago, Prysmian started a research for an insulating material with at least equivalent characteristics as XLPE but which is more environmental friendly, resulting in the High performance Polypropylene Thermoplastic Elastomer (HPTE) material with the following benefits: no by-products formation, re-usable, shorter production throughput time, reduced production facilities area and fully compatible with the existing network and network components. Prysmian have started the development of HPTE insulated cores, also referred to as P-Laser © , resulting in several successful type tests, compatibility tests with MV accessories, pilot projects and regular delivery of HPTE insulated MV cables in Italy and Holland. This paper compromises: - an overview of HPTE cable production history - an overview on (type-) test done on HPTE insulated cables especially for the Dutch market, - cable projects where HPTE insulated cables are installed, |
