Abstract :
Papers were presented in 1959 describing the development and several applications of a unique epoxy resin-impregnated orlon insulation in the cable system of a large electric utility. The present paper describes additional development work and applications employing resinorlon. The applications include cable joints and potheadless terminations for service through 15 kv, pothead-type terminations for 35 kv, and repairs for cracked lead-sheathed cables, leaks in potheads, and split joint-sleeves. Test data, service experience, and extent of use are discussed.
