Physical Model of Electric Aging and Breakdown of Extruded Polymeric Insulated Power Cables

This paper postulates a physical model of electric aging and breakdown of polymeric insulated high voltage cables and substantiates this model with results of tests. In accordance with the model, scission of molecular chains and formation of craters at discharging voids are responsible for the electric aging and voltage breakdown of polymeric insulation.
