532-1993 - IEEE Guide for Selecting and Testing Jackets for Underground Cables
Description: This guide covers corrosion protection, properties of commonly used jackets, electrical characteristics of jackets, physical requirements for jackets referenced in industry standards, and selection and testing of jackets. It is written for those responsible for optimizing underground cable installations. The purpose is to present a reasonably complete picture of the role of jackets so that the subject can be approached in an orderly and organized manner. An effort has been made to shun the highly technical language and theory commonly used by electrical engineers, corrosion engineers, and chemists to discuss the more detailed application of jackets.
