There is considerable difference of opinion among utilities as to the relative merits of polyethylene and ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) as cable insulation. EPR is admittedly more expensive, but some utilities feel that it's worth it. Others disagree. The case for EPR, presented by one of its manufacturers, emphasizes its successful use under conditions of voltage, heat, and moisture that lead to failures with other insulations. 3 figures, 3 tables.
