Cables for 220 kV lines are invariably____________?

Correct answer: C. compressed oil or compressed gas insulated

  • A. mica insulated
  • B. paper insulated
  • C. compressed oil or compressed gas insulated
  • D. rubber insulated
  • E. none of the above

Explanation

At 220 kV, conventional solid insulation becomes difficult to use economically because of high electric stress and capacitance. Compressed-oil and compressed-gas designs are used for such extra-high-voltage cables.
