Summary:The major application for outdoor polymeric materials as an alternative to high voltage ceramics has been on cable terminations. This paper describes the test protocol used to evaluate a range of field aged materials returned from service in a wide variety of locations from all over the world. The importance of optimizing a material for good performance under a wide variety of test conditions is emphasized; as well as the increased importance of UV testing.< >
