NSTALLATON OF TRAN CABLES FALL NTO 3
CATOGARES
1. NSDE POWER STN/SUBSTATON
WHERE O L CONNECTONS ARE
MPRACTCABLE
2. DENSELY POPULATED AREAS
WHERE O L UNACCEPTABLE
3. NTER CONNECTON BET SUBSTATONS
WHERE O L UNECONOMCAL
W DUE TO HGH COST/UNT LENGTH,
W DVERSTY OF TYPE/SZE, CABLES

W THREE WAYS OF LAYNG
- TRADTONAL OPEN CUT METHOD BURED N
GROUND
- PULLNG N EXSTNG PPES
- BURED N CONCRETE TROUGHS
W NCONVENENCE TO PUBLC
W SAFETY OK, BUT RATNG REDUCED
W POPULAR, NEEDS TO SELECT LOW THERMAL RES

W PROBLEMS ASSOCTED WTH ROAD CROSSNGS
W CLEARANCES FROM OTHER SERVCES == 3

W MATERAL EXCAVATED FROM TRENCH CAN CAUSE
NUSANCE AND
W REQURES CAREFUL HANDLNG
W NTERFERENCE TO TRAFFC, CLOG DRANS
W BOTTOM OF TRENVH SHOULD BE FREE FROM
