This study presents a detailed numerical analysis of the electric field distribution in cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) dielectric insulators used in photovoltaic (PV) power transmission systems. The modeling was carried out in Mathcad using stationary electromagnetic field equations, with the geometric parameters of the cable structure explicitly considered: a conductor cross-section of 6 mm2, a first XLPE insulation layer thickness of 0.7 mm, and a second dielectric layer of 0.8 mm. The investigation focused on evaluating how variations in the relative permittivity ratio between adjacent insulation layers (ε1 > ε2 and ε1 < ε2) influence the electric potential distribution and local electric field intensity. For the case ε1 > ε2, the potential at the interface reached 817 V, while the maximum electric field intensity was 1207 kV/m, exhibiting an almost uniform field distribution across both layers. This configuration ensured high dielectric strength and minimized localized stress regions. Conversely, when ε1 < ε2, the interlayer potential decreased to 518 V, but the peak electric field intensity increased to 1735 kV/m, producing distinct field concentrations associated with reduced dielectric strength and a higher likelihood of partial discharge or breakdown. The results confirm that multilayer XLPE-based insulation promotes electric field leveling, and that optimizing the thickness and dielectric properties of each layer can substantially enhance dielectric robustness while reducing material consumption. The developed numerical model provides a reliable tool for assessing the electrical characteristics of multilayer XLPE insulation systems and offers practical guidance for the design and optimization of high-reliability photovoltaic cables and transmission components. These findings are particularly relevant for improving the safety, efficiency, and long-term durability of PV installations across both low- and high-voltage operating environments. |
