Abstract

To prevent damage caused by the penetration of water into the insulation of electric cables used in underground electrical installations and especially in telecommunications it is necessary to impregnate the cables' wires with a hydrophobic material when they are manufactured. The following paper describes microwave heating of the insulated wires of telecommunication cables before their impregnation.
