Is a cable is to be designed for use on 1000 kV, which insulation would you prefer ____________?

Correct answer: D. Compressed SFe gas

  • A. Polyvinyle chloride
  • B. Vulcanised rubber
  • C. Impregnated paper
  • D. Compressed SFe gas
  • E. none of the above

Explanation

At extremely high voltages, compressed SF6 gas is preferred in gas-insulated cable systems because its high dielectric strength permits compact insulation. PVC, rubber and paper are not suitable for a 1000 kV cable at this level.
