50 KV PULSE CABLE ASSEMBLIES
Abstract
Pulse cable with higher pulse voltage rating and higher power capability is needed to meet the voltage and power requirements of associated high power radar equipment. Efforts are being made to provide the test information required to assign a voltage rating to RG-191/U and to establish detailed design and constructional features for a 50 kv pulse cable. It is further proposed, in case rg-191/U is satisfactory for 50 kv rating, to test RG-191/U cable with high voltage connectors. Measurements of temperature and temperature distribution were made on RG-191/U cable with conductor heating and with dielectric heating. Analy is of these data indicates that the effects of these 2 heat sources on life should be very similar at the same total power dissipation. Initial life data are given on a small specimen (50 ft.) of Lot 1 of RG-191/U at 35 kv rms, 10,000 c. The only failures thus far are e d failures at life times exceeding 330 hours. The variation of the number of electrical discharges per foot of cable with voltage is reported. An investigation of the heat stability f silver paint is reported. Termination techniques are discussed. (Author)
