ABSTRACT
Insulated electric power cable manufacturing involves a broad range of complexity depending on the cable design to be produced. [1-1, 1-2] Different cable plants may be capable of a limited or broad range of designs. Those capable of a broad range may limit operations to only a few steps in the manufacturing process. Despite this large variability in plants, the steps in the manufacture remain basically the same, whether done in one facility or a number of facilities. Conductor manufacturing, in Chapter 3, is common to all cables with metallic conductors. The manufacture of extruded dielectric power cables and laminar dielectric power cables follow.
