This insightful reference provides up-to-date coverage of the design, manufacture, installation, testing, operation, and performance expectations of electrical power cables used worldwide-focusing on low- and medium-voltage cables.

Discussing the various components of power cables in great detail, Electrical Power Cable Engineering

• shows how conductor material, size, and design depend on ampacity, voltage regulation, and other factors
• compares ethylene propylene co- and ter-polymers to polyethylene and crosslinked polyethylene
• explains the purposes of metallic and nonmetallic cable shields
• reviews a variety of thermoplastic jacket materials
• addresses the design, application, and preparation of terminated and spliced cables
• describes the reduction of sheath losses in large cables
• assesses methods for testing shielded power cable systems in the field
• and more!

Containing an extensive glossary as well as key references, tables, equations, drawings, and photographs, Electrical Power Cable Engineering benefits cable, power engineering, electrical and electronics, industrial, transmission, distribution, energy, and research and development engineers, and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.
