Abstract :
Electric power generation facilities continue to undergo rapid technological change. Trends and anticipated developments in medium and high-voltage power, control and communication cables that will impact the design, construction, retrofit, and maintenance of power generation systems are discussed. Included is a discussion of the probable impact of optical fiber technology. Careful selection of the wire and cable used in power generation facilities will minimize future upgrade, retrofit, and maintenance costs. The proper application of wire and cable will also help assure trouble-free operation of present and future electrical power generating systems
