This two volume reference combines the basic concepts of power cable technology with descriptions of actual and future designs and performances of power cables. Cable engineers, students and management personnel who are interested in electric power engineering and underground transmission will find the tables and equations that highlight these volumes helpful. Vol. I, BASIC CONCEPTS and TESTING and: Presents a basic introduction to electric energy and underground transmission. Cable design, structural materials such as conductors, insulating materials and protective coverings, and electrical breakdown characteristics are just some of the aspects covered. In addition, all types of testing methods are thoroughly reviewed. Vol. II, PRESENT and FUTURE: Structures, manufacturing processes, improvement of extruded cables, OF cables, POF cables, forced cooled cables, their splices and terminations, gas insulated cables, DC cables and cables for nuclear power stations are discussed. Cryogenic resistive, superconducting and other new types of cables are studied.
