Electrical Power Engineering
Q: I am a post graduate student of Msc electrical power engineering with business from the University of strathclyde.Now I am working in a project Partial discharge detection in cables. I wish to know how a 11 KV cable is joined.Please give me the procedure for this.I wish to know this for 33 Kv also.Similarly how an underground cable is connected to power transformer.I am in a critical situation.Please help
A: Take a look around your campus. You will possibly spot a large building full of books. This is called a "library". Go inside, and see if a book covers cable jointing - something like "American Electrician's Handbook" or possibly "Underground Transmission Reference Book". I realize consulting something so old-fashioned as a "book" is hideously dated in this Internet age. Possibly someone at your local electrical utility has hands-on experience with joining cables - perhaps you could speak with them. This is more of a Ph. D. level research technique, of course - but you'd be suprised at how well it works at the Master's level.
