Crosslinkable polymeric compositions for use in, for instance, cable insulation layers, are disclosed. The crosslinkable polymeric compositions comprise an ethylene-based polymer, an organic peroxide, a crosslinking coagent, and a methyl-radical scavenger comprising at least one derivative of 2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO), such as 4-acryloxy-2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl, 4-allyloxy-2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl, and bis (2, 2, 6, 6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy-4-yl) sebacate, and combinations of two or more thereof, wherein ratio of crosslinking coagent to organic peroxide is less than 1.72:1 on a molar basis. A crosslinked article prepared from a crosslinkable polymeric composition is also disclosed, the crosslinkable polymeric composition comprising, inter alia, a methyl-radical scavenger comprising at least one TEMPO derivative. In addition, a coated conductor comprising a conductive core and a polymeric layer at least partially surrounding the conductive core is disclosed, wherein at least a portion of the polymeric layer comprises the crosslinked article.

Provided is a power cable that contains at least one insulated conductor extending along a cable longitudinal direction; a bedding layer surrounding the at least one insulated conductor, and a non-metallic armour surrounding the bedding layer. The non-metallic armour is made by at least one meshed tape helically wound onto the bedding layer and has an openness factor of at least 30% and a meshed tape tear resistance of at least 200 N according to DIN 53363 of 2003.

Semiconductive tapes for use with electric cables, such as high voltage power cables, and methods for manufacturing such tapes, are provided. A semiconductive tape comprises a first layer comprising a fabric and a second layer in contact with the first layer. The second layer comprises an activated carbon or carbon black. The semiconductive tapes have increased friction while still maintaining sufficient electrical conductivity for use as wrappings for electric power cables, thereby improving the manufacturing process and reducing the overall cost of production.

A connector (1) for high voltage cables has a metal conductor (11) having a first elongated conductor element having a first end (12a), a second end (12b) and an intermediate section (12c) between the first end (12a) and the second end (12b); an insulating layer (21); and a semiconductive layer (31). The insulating layer is moulded onto the second end (12b) and the intermediate section (12c) of the first elongated conductor element (12) and the insulating layer (21) is provided at a first insulator distance (DI1) from the first end (12a) of the first elongated conductor element (12). The semiconductive layer (31) is provided outside of the insulating layer (21) and the semiconductive layer (31) is provided at a first semiconductor distance (DS1) from the first end (12a) of the first elongated conductor element (12). The first insulator distance (DI1) is shorter than the first semiconductor distance (DS1). The insulating layer (21) is moulded as one single insulating body.

The invention relates semiconductive polyethylene composition, for use in power cables, with improved smoothness compared to other available semiconductive polymer compositions. This invention relates to a cable with a layer comprising the semiconductive polyethylene composition.

The present invention relates to a submarine cable having a bimetallic armor. In particular, the present invention relates to a submarine cable capable of effectively suppressing damage to and corrosion of an armor formed of different types of metals due to a local decrease in tensile strength thereof and capable of avoiding an increase in an external diameter of the cable, the structural instability of the cable, and damage to the cable during the manufacture and installation thereof.

The invention relates to a polymer composition with improved DC electrical properties, to the use of the composition for producing a cable layer and to a cable surrounded by at least one layer comprising the polymer composition.

The present invention relates to a power cable. More particularly, the present invention relates to a power cable which is, when compared to the existing power cables, lightweight and includes a watertight layer which improves a corrosion resistance and is effectively suppressed from being peeled since the interlayer adhesiveness thereof is maintained regardless of an externally physical impact and a temperature change.
