Method for extending long-term electrical power cable performance

摘要

An improved method for imparting excellent long-term dielectric performance to an in-service electrical cable section having a stranded conductor surrounded by a conductor shield encased in a polymeric insulation and having an interstitial void volume in the region of the conductor, the cable section having an average operating temperature T is disclosed. The method comprises injecting a dielectric enhancement fluid composition into the interstitial void volume.
