Abstract

Mass-impregnated electrical cable, particularly for carrying high voltage direct current, having an insulation in which, around the insulating layer impregnated with an insulating fluid, a containing layer is provided broadly includes at least one winding of a tape of a semiconducting elastomeric material, which exerts an effective action of containing the insulating fluid, while preventing formation of micro-cavities within the impregnated insulating layer. The material constituting the tape has high physical-chemical resistance to the degrading action of the components of the insulating fluid, both in the cold state and, in particular, at the operating temperature of the cable.
