This specification covers an ozone-resisting crosslinked rubber insulation compound for electrical wires and cables. The polymer shall consist substantially of ethylene-alkene copolymer (EAM) or ethylene-alkene diene terpolymer (EADM). This polymer type includes ethylenepropylene copolymer (EPM) and ethylenepropylene diene terpolymer (EPDM). The crosslinked insulation shall conform to the requirements for physical properties specified. Tests shall be performed in accordance to the following test methods: AC voltage withstand test; insulation resistance; DC voltage withstand tests; capacitance and dissipation factor; partial discharge level test; accelerated water absorption; and ozone resistance.
