what is the purpose of using semiconductors in HT cables..

Answer / bhavuk sharma

The semi conducting material is used in HV cables to reduce the stress caused on insulation due to high electric field.
This can be achieved by gradually reducing the electric stress. Now to gradually reduce this stress a layer of semi conducting material (since it is neither a complete insulator or a complete conductor) is used just before the main insulating compound of cable. This will reduce the electrical stress on this main insulating compound.

Answer / k.prakashchandra

The semiconductor layers are not doped and are intrinsic
.They influence(confine) electric field within the
insulation layers.

what is the purpose of using semiconductors in HT cables..

Answer / anil

The use of semiconductor layer in cable is
1. avoid air filled bubles and compete round structure for
insulation.
2. It influence the magnetic field inside the cable.

I have a question, I visit 01 site and face a problem, there is 2.5 ton Air Con working, when air con compressor is running at that time rectifier voltages are increasing upto 290-295 v and rectifier is giving main high alarm (rectifier is APC single phase), before starting compressor rectifier voltages was 230v. when air con is going off rectifier voltages are decreasing smoothly at its actual voltages 230v. Load on Genset phases is this: Red-13.5 amp AC (Air Con load), Yellow-1.7 amp AC (BTS lights etc.) and Blew-4 amp AC (telecom system load), Genset phase to phase and neutral to phase voltages are also ok. These are 10 sites having same system and same rectifier APC brand at every site 02 genset are working but the problem is same at all these 10 sites. What will be the reason behind???
