Résumé :

This book provides a precise understanding of the design, manufacture, installation, and testing of a range of electric power cables-from low-voltage, 1,000/1,100V cables to extra-high-voltage, 400kV cables-with reference to future trends in the industry. Throughout, the authors emphasise consonance between design theory and practical application to ensure production of a quality power cable at a reasonable cost. They also underscore the importance of careful handling during laying, jointing, and terminating, making this book a must read for power cable engineers and technicians alike.
