Abstract
Nowadays, The Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) Lifetime can be extended to around 80 Years; This Is Assist to Recommend the Modifications Some Properties of Polymeric Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) Cable Insulation. This Work is A Laboratory Implementing the Nano-fillers as Silicon Dioxide (Sio2) and Clay to Enhance Cable Insulation. The Volume Resistivity, Capacitance, Dielectric Loss, Tensile Strength and Elongation Properties Were Tested and Measurement for the Nanorized Samples. Furthermore, These Measurements Have Been Carried Out for the (XLPE) with Modified XLPE/Sio2 and XLPE/Clay, at Additive Concentration of 1, 2.5, 4 and 5 Weight Percentage (Wt%). The Officially Documented Results Have Been Provided Much Better Cable Electrically Insulation and Mechanically Profile. A 205% and 189% for Volume Resistivity and Instance were improved for The XLPE/Sio2 and XLPE/Clay Respectively, and The Analytical Calculations were in Agreement with the Experimental Results.
