We had an aluminum wire manufacturing rep give a presentation at our IAEI meeting yesterday. According to him, UL performs a test on all insulated conductors and cables to simulate 30 years of use. This is done by raising the ambient temperature of the conductor or cable to 186? (100? above 310.16 temperature) and then submerges the conductor or cable into 32? water. They repeat this 30 times and then perform all tests on the conductors and the insulation again.
I just thought I would share this with you guys. I like learning about these things.
