A polymer composition includes a crosslinked polyolefin with improved DC electrical properties. Prior to crosslinking, the polymer composition includes a polyolefin and peroxide, in which the peroxide is in an amount of less than 35 mmol &#x2014;O&#x2014;O&#x2014; per kilogram of the polymer composition. A cable can be surrounded by at least one layer including the polymer composition.

Crosslinkable polymer composition and cable with advantageous electrical properties

A cross-linked polymer composition includes a cross-linked polyolefin. Peroxide in an amount of less than 35 mmol &#x2014;O&#x2014;O&#x2014;/kg polymer composition may be included in the polymer composition prior to crosslinking the polyolefin. Suitable polyolefins that can be cross-linked in the polymer composition include an unsaturated LDPE homopolymer and an unsaturated LDPE copolymer of ethylene with one or more comonomers. Such unsaturated LDPE polymer can contain vinyl groups, and the total amount of vinyl groups present in the unsaturated LDPE can be higher than 0.05/1000 carbon atoms. The cross-linked polymer composition can be used, for example, in producing a cross-linkable and cross-linked article such as a cross-linkable and cross-linked direct current (DC) or other type of power cable.

An electric power cable and a process for the production of the cable including a metal conductor and an electric insulation system surrounding the conductor coaxially and radially outwards of the conductor having improved electric properties. The insulation system includes an inner semi-conducting layer surrounded radially outwards by an insulation layer and wherein the insulation layer is surrounded radially outwards by an outer semi-conducting layer. The electric power cable further includes an inner water blocking material arranged in the conductor and/or to surround the conductor radially outwards and an outer water blocking material arranged radially outwards from the insulation system. An inner barrier layer is arranged as a diffusion hindering layer between the inner water blocking material and the insulation system and an outer barrier layer is arranged as a diffusion hindering layer between the insulation system and the outer water blocking material.

Electric power cable and a process for the production of the power cable

An extruded high voltage cable including a conductor with at least three concentric layers of helically wound metal wires, an extruded inner conducting layer surrounding the conductor, and an extruded electrical insulation arranged outside the inner conducting layer. The two outermost layers of the conductor have the same lay direction.
