A method for heat treatment of an electric power cable, the electric power cable including a polymer-based electrical insulation system with a polymer composition. The method steps include placing the electric power cable having the polymer-based electrical insulation system into a heating chamber and exposing the polymer-based electrical insulation system to a heat treatment procedure when the electric power cable is located in the heating chamber. The step of placing the electric power cable into the heating chamber includes winding the electric power cable about a substantially vertical center axis to form a substantially horizontal first layer of a plurality of substantially horizontal turns of the electric power cable, winding the electric power cable about the center axis to form a plurality of substantially horizontal second layers, each second layer being formed by a plurality of substantially horizontal turns of the electric power cable and stacking the plurality of horizontal second layers above the first layer. An apparatus is provided for performing the method.

Method for heat treatment of an electric power cable

A conductor and a rotating electric high-voltage machine that includes the conductor has a cable configured for high-voltage operation. The cable may be included as a winding for the rotating electric high-voltage machine. The conductor includes a first strand that is clad with an electrically insulating layer, and a second strand that is uninsulated whereas the first strand and the second strand are arranged in two or more layers of strands. The two or more layers of strands are insulated from one another. Furthermore, the first and second layers of the two or more layers of strands are arranged around a central core where the central core is at least one of an air core and a core of another material. The second strand is positioned so as not to be electrically contacting any other uninsulated strand.
