Cable technology

Differences between the electrical characteristics of overhead transmission lines and high voltage AC cables are fundamental and must be considered. This article gives a brief introduction to cable technology, with focus on the topics which must be considered when designing a protection system for a mixed conductor circuit which consist of both cable and overhead line.
