semiconductors are the conducors they are partially conduct electricity. And we can increase therir conductivity by using various method . They are Intrinsic method and extrinsic method . Intrinsic method is heating the semiconducter . Extrinsic method is doping. By using this method the conductivity of semiconductors is rapidly increases. Then we use semiconductors are prefferd to conductors

Why using semiconductor protection for HT cable?

In a HT cable there are 2 layers of semiconductor one on the conductor and second on the XLPE insulation. As we know semiconductor behaves as conductor when temperature rises. So when the HT cable is on load its conductor temperature rises due to this the semicon layer which is on conductor behaves like conductor and as a result overall cross section area is increased. now the second semicon layer which is over XLPE on temp rise behaves as conductor and used for dessipating heat out of conductor as the cable heat due to load.


Can a semiconductor be made to become a conductor or an insulator?

Yes, a semiconductor can be made to behave as a conductor or an insulator by controlling the amount of impurities added to it. Adding impurities through a process called doping can change the conductivity of the semiconductor material, making it act like a conductor or an insulator.
