Abstract :
SEPTEMBER 14, 1960, marked the dedication of a new ehv (extra-high-voltage) cable testing station at Cornell University. Inasmuch as the utility load doubles about every 8 years, rights of way become more difficult to obtain, and station units are larger, the need to develop 500-mva cable was foreseen in 1953.
