High quality high voltage and extra-high voltage extruded dielectric transmission cables can be made with the use of appropriate insulation and semiconductive materials and with special processing equipment. The requirements for the cleanliness of the insulation products are defined. The methods required to produce, test and maintain high levels of cleanliness are also elucidated. The criticality of the smoothness of the semiconductive conductor shields is described and the methods used for producing and testing these shields are also explained. Cable data showing excellent transmission properties for these extruded dielectric cables are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
