Résumé
This paper investigates the changes in electrical and physico-chemical properties of low-voltage power cables for nuclear application when subjected to the combined effects of gamma radiation and temperature. Electrical response is evaluated by means of the dielectric spectroscopy, while the physico-chemical changes are analyzed at different structural scales through five complementary techniques (OIT measurements, FTIR spectroscopy, swelling measurements, DSC analysis and micro-indentation). The dielectric spectroscopy and the first two chemical techniques are shown to be appropriate for evaluating the development of radio-thermal ageing in low-voltage cables. Hence, the results reported in this article suggest the effectiveness of dielectric spectroscopy as a non-destructive technique for on-site cable diagnosis.

SURACI, Simone Vincenzo; FABIANI, Davide; MAZZOCCHETTI, Laura; GIORGINI, Loris (MDPI, 2020)The usability of any material hinges upon its stability over time. One of the major concerns, focusing on polymeric materials, is the degradation they face during their service life. The degradation mechanisms are deeply ...
