The minimum dielectric stress in a cable is at_____________?
Correct answer: D. lead sheath
- A. armour
- B. bedding
- C. conductor surface
- D. lead sheath
Explanation
For a cable, dielectric stress is greatest at the conductor surface and decreases outward, reaching its minimum at the outer conducting sheath. Hence the minimum stress is at the lead sheath.
