This research explores the thermal ageing influence on the Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) dielectric properties, which is utilised as electrical insulation in high-voltage cables. An accelerated thermal ageing test was done at four temperature ranges ranging from 25 °C to 120 °C to define the degre...
