ABSTRACT

The designing and manufacturing of cables are complex multidimensional and multifunctional processes. Different materials are to be selected and used to satisfy diverse requirements while considering the nature of use, surrounding environments, climatic conditions and power supply systems. Naturally, the designer and processing engineer should have a thorough understanding of the materials, their characteristics, behaviour under different conditions, process ability and long-term stable performance. Hence, there should be proper selection of materials for a given type of product.
