Abstract :
In the search for cable designs capable of transmitting larger blocks of power, consideration has been given to replacing oil in the oil/paper cable with liquified gases. This paper reports the evaluation of liquid hydrogen as the substitute for oil. The system is not operated at the superconducting region but at higher temperatures. Not only cellulosic paper but synthetic papers and films were evaluated. The results were very encouraging.
