Abstract :
Background for development of EHV underground transmission is traced, introducing pertinent details of one manufacturer´s research and development on 500 kV pipe cable. Highlights of cable design and manufacture are summarized. The continuing search by the industry for a synthetic alternate to oil-paper insulation is discussed in relation to future cable designs. Advantages of forced cooling for EHV underground transmission systems are recognized.
