Insuring adequate spacing between underground distribution conductors in conduit and gas lines.

Insuring adequate spacing between underground distribution conductors in conduit and gas lines.

The effects of faults occurring on secondary cables in plastic conduit energized at 240 V were evaluated under simulated field conditions. Secondary cables were intentionally faulted inside polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyethylene (PE) conduit. The test setup represented a typical, residential sing...
