Abstract

This study presents electrical condition monitoring technique aiming at measuring volume resistivity (ρ) precisely for the tubular-shaped cables insulators. Tubular electrodes were designed to detect ρ for nuclear grade flame retardant ethylene propylene rubber (FR-EPR) insulated cables that underwent thermal accelerated ageing. FR-EPR insulated cables were heated at 125 °C for 5040 hours by two methods: with jacket and without jacket, while only FR-EPR cable with jacket was heated at 150 °C for 336 hours. ρ in insulators heated with jacket sharply decreased at ageing times 800-3480 hours and 300-336 hours during ageing at 125 °C and 150 °C respectively, hence obeying “induction-time” behavior as confirmed from elongation at break degradation curves at similar ageing conditions. Reduction of ρ in insulators heated at 125 °C without jacket is less significant compared to ageing with jacket.
