Abstract :
Failure of the lead sheath on underground cable may be caused by stray currents flowing through sections of the sheath or by local electro-chemical action, either of which destroys the lead by corrosion. In order that proper remedies may be applied, the cause first must be determined; some methods are described in this article.
