Abstract
), to reflect the degradation of polymers under various environmental stresses. The effect of ultraviolet (UV) radiation on the model was considered. Moreover, the electrical degradation, chemical changes, and mechanical properties caused by UV radiation were investigated to provide the reference for the lifetime of evaluation. The research is significant for comprehensively evaluating the lifetime of insulating materials for PV systems and other power equipment.
