Abstract :
A new method of inspection of impregnation of solid-type cable insulation was developed. This method is based on the property of oils and waxes to fluoresce when activated by ultraviolet light. This method reveals details of impregnation in new cables and wax formation in old cables that are not apparent with ordinary light.
