Abstract :
Three short cases studies will be documented to highlight the efficacy of silicone rejuvenation technology. The first is a 115 kV class transmission cable from Duke Power, the second will be a 3 phase, 1000 kcmil, 260 mil, 1973 vintage feeder circuit from Dominion Power and the third case will be a 500 kcmil, 1968 vintage Cu, 175 mil XLPE, 15 kV cable that was one of the first treated cables at Dow Corning Corporation. The progress over the years and the great success of silicone cable rejuvenation were discussed.
