  • Abstract
    We show that our new aging concept describes the electrical aging process of XLPE and, in fact applies to all polymers with free volume. The physical significance of the basic parameters (activation energy and volume) is discussed and it is shown that XLPE cable aging directly depends on the breaking of C-C bonds. The influence of samples size is briefly discussed as well as the influence of free radicals.
