Influence of Oxygen Diffusion on Thermal Ageing of Cross-Linked Polyethylene Cable Insulation

Thermal ageing of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable insulation is an important issue threatening the safe operation of power cables. In this paper, thermal ageing of XLPE was carried out at 160 °C in air for 240 h. The influence of oxygen diffusion on thermal ageing of XLPE was investigated by...
