This guide provides information on the equipment@ cable specimens@ test conditions@ and measurements to perform accelerated aging tests on medium-voltage cables using water-filled tanks@ whether the test be a time-to-failure test or a test in which samples are aged for fixed times followed by a diagnostic test such as a step ACBD test. The guide identifies the critical test parameters and describes techniques for their measurement and control. The implementation of the techniques will facilitate a comparison of data obtained by different laboratories.
