High-Voltage
underground cables are constructed in many different ways, but are usually
shielded cables. They are made with a conductor, conductor-strand shielding,
insulation, semi-conducting insulation shielding, metallic insulation
shielding, and a sheath. The sheath can be metallic and may then serve as
the metallic insulation shielding and be covered with a nonmetallic jacket
to protect the sheath. This sheath helps to reduce or eliminate
inductive reactance. Such cables are commonly used in circuits operating
at 2400 volts or higher.
