The intersheaths in the cables are used to_____________?
Correct answer: C. provide proper stress distribution
- A. minimize the stress
- B. avoid the requirement of good insulation
- C. provide proper stress distribution
- D. none of the above
Explanation
Inter-sheaths divide the insulation into sections and control the potential distribution, thereby making the electric stress more uniform. This is why proper stress distribution is the best choice.
