Enhancing Resistance of Cables to Hydrocarbons

Article Preview

Abstract:

An aging in hydrocarbon fluids (the transformer oil and diesel fuel) of cables with sheaths produced of polymers having different resistance to swelling and using different extruders has been carried out. While the aging resistance of cables is mainly determined by the resistance of its polymer sheath to the swelling, it is shown that the cable resistance to aging in hydrocarbons can be significantly increased by using of twin extruder to produce a two-layer sheath in one operation. This way of sheathing is proposed to increase the oil resistance of cables.
