Abstract
THE economies effected by the use of very high voltages when transmitting electric power have led to its rapidly increasing adoption, but the higher the voltage the greater the number of breakdowns of the transmission cable. In electric supply an interruption of this nature is most serious, so expensive and elaborate tests in specially constructed laboratories are being carried out by cable manufacturers on the wrappings which surround the cables (the sheath).
