ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on transient phenomena specically related to cables. Transients on cable systems are characterized by the large charging capacities of cables and the presence of a metallic sheath around the phase conductor. Temporary overvoltages (TOVs), such as the overvoltage caused by system islanding and the resonance overvoltage observed on the cable system, contain low-frequency components due to large charging capacities. Because of the low frequency, namely low damping, these TOVs can be sustained for extended durations, posing challenges to the insulation performance of related equipment. This chapter introduces examples of such studies.
