Like other power cables, high-voltage cables have the structural elements of one or more conductors, an insulation system, and a protective jacket. High-voltage cables differ from lower-voltage cables in that they have … See more

During the development of high voltage insulation, which has taken about half a century, two characteristics proved to be paramount. First, the introduction of the semiconducting layers. These layers must be absolutely smooth, without even protrusions as … See more

Terminals of high-voltage cables must manage the electric fields at the ends. Without such a construction the electric field will concentrate at the end of the earth-conductor as … See more

High voltage is defined as any voltage over 1000 volts. Those of 2 to 33 kV are usually called medium voltage cables, those over 50 kV … See more

A high-voltage cable for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission has the same construction as the AC cable shown in figure 1. The physics and the test requirements are … See more

Connecting two high-voltage cables with one another poses two main problems. First, the outer conducting layers in both cables must be … See more

X-ray cables are used in lengths of several meters to connect the HV source with an X-ray tube or any other HV device in scientific … See more
