Abstract
This article reviews the different components, conductors, semiconductive shields, insulation, sheaths, and jackets, that make up extruded, high-voltage cables. The different types of conductors are described as are the different insulation systems that are available for medium and HV cables. There is a comparison of the two main insulators used in extruded HV cables, EPR, and XLPE. Each material has some properties that are better than those of the other material.
