In a cable, the maximum stress under operating conditions is at___________?
Correct answer: D. conductor surface
- A. insulation layer
- B. sheath
- C. armour
- D. conductor surface
Explanation
The radial electric stress in a cable is greatest at the conductor surface because stress decreases as the distance from the conductor increases. It is therefore not maximum at the sheath or armour.
