Zusammenfassung:A method of restoring an insulation system around a conductor of a power cable, using an induction heating system for heating the conductor of the power cable to restore an insulation system of the power cable, wherein the induction heating system includes: a first high frequency, HF, coil configured to receive the power cable, a water-cooling system configured to cool the first HF coil, and a power supply system configured to power the first HF coil, wherein the first HF coil is configured to be openable or splitable into at least two parts, the method including: a) placing a pressurisation and heating device around the power cable having a restoration insulation system layer arranged around the conductor, b) opening and placing the first HF coil around the power cable adjacent to the pressurisation and heating device, c) closing the first HF coil, and d) heating the restoration insulation system layer by outer heating of the restoration insulation system layer inside the pressurisation and heating device and by inner heating of the restoration insulation system layer provided by feeding the first HF coil with current from the power supply system inducing a current in the conductor, wherein the method includes performing steps a)-d) for each of a plurality of restoration insulation system layers.
