Objectives To understand the degradation characteristic of cable insulation when subjected to HVDC; the generation of new knowledge on the degradation characteristic of cable insulation when subjected to HVDC.
Abstract

The application of HVDC cables over long distances is on the increase and it is becoming clear that the ageing characteristics of the insulation in such cables are not well understood. As this is a project to obtain better understanding, the method is one of understanding what is currently known about the ageing characteristics and then to consider what else needs to be done to address the knowledge gap
