Corrosion of electrical wiring
Corrosion of electrical wiring
(OP)
I have a current carrying wire with insulation damage and thinning or partial damage to the copper strands and a corrosion product, identified as copper hydroxide deposited around the damage. If we apply an insulating medium such as lanolin or silicone spray to effectively cover the damaged areas and isolate them from moisture and the atmoshere, is the copper likely to continue corroding accelerated by the presence of the deposit and flowing electricity. The voltage is small in the order of milivolts.

What is the conductor supported on? OR where is it lying?

There is the problem of wet thermoplastic insulation and DC potential causing electroendosmosis, {green-goo ooze} but that’s typically associated with higher voltage.
