How Power Cables Fail
- 6 Solid dielectric cable system myths
- 5 Fundamental truths (to achieve 100-year cable life)
- Risk factors and case studies on power systems
- Results and ancillary benefits
Understanding how cable systems fail is one of the key elements to ensure cable system reliability and achieving 100-year life. Insight into empirical evidence and lessons learned after profiling over 150 million feet of installed 5kV to 500kV class cable systems will debunk some common theories and myths associated with solid dielectric cable failure. This insight has led to a greater understanding with product selection, system design, installation practices, commissioning, system operation, assessment of aging infrastructure, and repair and replacement strategies. Data and case studies based on over two decades of experience collected from 49 states and 15 countries will provide direction on how to start eliminating failure producing defects positioning your cables to survive decades longer.
