Abstract
The economic life of polyethylene insulated primary URD cable is defined as the number of years of service such that continued operation of the cable results in greater cost than its replacnt. Formulation of the economic life shows that it is a function of the failure rate of the cable, discount rate, service restoration cost, replacement cost and the value of unserved energy. under simplifying assumptions, the economic life of a given installation is calculated readily.
