    Experience with Subterranean Transmission Lines (161kV+)

    We have some 220 kV transmission cables. 1. When required in a high density urban area, or when a property developer does not want the existing overhead lines (the developer has to pay for the undergrounding). 2. XLPE. 3. Direct bury in ground, with concrete joint bays. 4. If underground...

    Supply Side and Equipment Grounding Conductors in HV Substation

    I believe multiple single-point grounding can also be called sectionalised single point bonding, please see Figure 2.4 from CIGRE TB 797 below: The sheath voltage limiter is essentially 'open', like a surge arrestor, so only one end of the cable is directly grounded. The sheath/shield is not...
