Abstract In Japan, XLPE cables are widely used for transmission lines and it is estimated that the ratio of XLPE will increase even more. The Investigation Committee of The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJ), consisting of engineers from universities, all power utilities, all the major cable manufacturers, etc., has investigated the trend of the accessories (joint and termination) for XLPE cables of 66 kV and above in Japan for 3 years. This paper reports the results of this investigation. Copyright © 2007 Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
