Aging of Cross-Linked Polyethylene Insulation Cable Lines by I. V. Oleksyuk

“…The most significant reason for the insulation aging  is high temperature, which accelerates the reaction of thermo-oxidative destruction, during which high-molecular polymer compounds decompose. In fact, cables are operated at temperatures below the long-term permissible values, and, therefore, the aging of the insulation is slower, and the actual service life will be longer than the standard. …”
