Fully updated, this third edition addresses the design, application, and preparation of terminating and splicing cables. The book provides methods for testing shielded power cable systems in the field, and it shows how conductor material, size, and design depend on ampacity, voltage regulation, and other factors. It also covers the up-to-date methods of design, manufacture, installation, and operation of power cables. Written for professionals as well as students, this book emphasizes low and medium voltages because they comprise the quantity of cable in service throughout the world. This reference includes an extensive glossary, as well as key references, tables, equations, and photographs.

Review :
"Electrical Power Cable Engineering, Second Edition meets its complex subject in a readable fashion, especially for those with limited background and experience…sufficient detail is provided for those with greater need in evaluating different cables for specific applications."
—Kenneth N. Mathes, Consulting Engineer, Schenectady, New York
"… of interest to cable engineers and technicians, especially those from the utilities, electric power industry, and power plants; cable manufacturers: and those interested in learning about cable engineering. It is written in a manner to quickly deliver useful and practical information about low and medium voltage cable technology."
—John J. Shea, IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine
