The injection of a silicone dielectric fluid in to cables to treat the water trees has been practiced for more than 25 years. Lightning protection combined with silicone fluid injection is a unique way to protect critical aged circuits. These circuits are more susceptible to damage as the water trees decrease the impulse strength of the cable. The review of cable rejuvenation and the factors necessary for protecting aged cables will be discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
