Abstract

This paper presents results of electrical tests carried out on nuclear power plant low voltage power cable samples based XLPE/CSPE polymer insulation. These cable samples have been subjected to accelerated thermal and mechanical stresses for 240, 480, 720 and 960 h. The effect of these aging stresses has been investigated through studying the real and imaginary parts of complex permittivity over frequency range from 20 Hz to 500 kHz. These two parameters are commonly used as aging markers to assess the insulation state of such kind of cables. The results show a non-uniform trend for the real and imaginary parts of permittivity. Also, it can be noticed that after the last two cycles, the imaginary part minimum values have been shifted to lower frequencies, 200 Hz.
