Development and Installation of 138 KV Cable Systems for Tests at EEI Waltz Mill Station: Cable 23

This paper covers the General Electric Company´s development, testing and installation at the Waltz Mill Station of a 138 kV solid dielectric power cable and associated splice. The cable described is unique in the industry in that (1) it utilizes a new insulation with higher breakdown strength, (2) is the only cable at Waltz Mill to use a mineral filled cross- linked polyethylene, and (3) has its insulation shield intimately bonded to the insulation.
