Semi-conductive conductor separation tape and semi-conductive water-blocking tape are two different types of tapes used in cable manufacturing.
Semi-conductive conductor separation tape is used to separate conductors in high voltage power cables to prevent electrical discharge between them. The tape has a semi-conductive layer that allows for a gradual electrical gradient between the conductors, reducing the risk of electrical breakdown.
Semi-conductive water-blocking tape is used in the cable core to prevent water ingress and provide electrical conductivity. The tape has a semi-conductive layer that provides the necessary conductivity, and it also has water-blocking properties to prevent water from entering the cable core.
Both tapes are important in ensuring the reliability and safety of high voltage power cables.
