Field-Aged Cable Testing
The objectives of this research performed on field-aged cable cross linked polyethylene cable samples, removed from service by DSTAR member utilities, were to:
- Evaluate the linkage between impulse duty and insulation degradation in field-aged cross linked polyethylene primary distribution cable.
- Determine if a recently developed partial discharge site detector can successfully assess cable insulation aging.
