Abstract
Abstract Medium tension electric cables are frequently prone to underground biodeterioration when used in distribution networks (10–20 kV). Damage affects lead sheaths of cables, leading to important economic losses and numerous problems for the customers. The aim of this work was to elucidate the origin of corrosion failures in order to implement effective countermeasures to minimize biodeterioration effects. With this purpose, 90 cables from the Iberdrola distribution network, showing signs of chemical and biological corrosion, were studied.
