Certified HV/MV Cable Termination, Inspection and Maintenance Course
Introduction:
The purpose of power cables is for the efficient transportation and distribution of electrical energy, Transportation and distribution must be done with a high degree of reliability and safety over very long periods. The range of voltage and capacity of power transmitted through cables is showing a steady increase over the years. Environmental concerns, aesthetic issues, lack of transmission corridors, and difficulty in routing overhead lines in crowded human habitats are some of the reasons for the explosive growth of cable technology well into the extra-high-voltage range.
