ECN Forum Forums Technical Discussion Electrical Theory and Applications 220 kV INSULATED CABLES. CONNECTION TO OVERHEAD LINES

Although cables up to 1000kV (oil filled) and 500kV (XLPE) have come into use in the past years, HV cables are rare beasts. 220kV is only used in national grids and consequently the only people who will know this field are cable suppliers, national grid operators and the contractors who work for them. I suggest starting with CIGRE, the "International Council on Large Electric Systems". See www.cigre.org and more specifically the catalogue of publications on http://www.cigre.org/GB/BROCHURES/fsbrochures.htm
