Lothar Heinhold, Editor Power Cables and their Application This book provides a comprehensive summary of the cables and insulated wires in use today. Apart from detailed descriptions of constructional elements and their materials, as well as accessories, guidance is included for laying, installation and testing. All calculation methods necessary for the planning of cable installations are discussed and explained by the use of practical examples. Detailed construction data and technical values for project planning for the engineer and the installer may be found in Part 2.
