Abstract

An alternating current (AC) power cable includes a conductor surrounded by at least an inner semiconductive layer including a first semiconductive composition, an insulation layer including a polymer composition, an outer semiconductive layer including a second semiconductive composition, and optionally a jacketing layer including a jacketing composition, in that order. The polymer composition of the insulation layer includes an unsaturated low density polyethylene (LDPE) copolymer of ethylene with one or more polyunsaturated comonomers and a crosslinking agent. The polymer composition of the insulation layer has a dielectric loss expressed as tan δ (50 Hz) of 12.0×10−4 or less, when measured at 25 kV/mm and 130° C. according to “Test for Tan δ measurements on 10 kV cables”.
