The articlePower transmission cables is the subject of two articles:
Technologies. Features
[D 4 521] Applications
The subjects covered are not independent of each other. Readers will often have to refer to the other article.
After dealing with the rather theoretical aspects of power transmission and distribution cables in the article , this second article is devoted to a number of specific applications: direct current cables, submarine cables, industrial and special cables used in a variety of environments and subject to sometimes very severe constraints. It sets out some basic rules for sizing a power transmission link, ensuring its maintenance and, where necessary, repairing it in the event of damage. Finally, it gives some indications of possible future developments in power cables using gas insulation and superconducting materials.
