Electric Cable Research Investigation of Transmission Characteristics of Three-Conductor Power Cable in Use by the U.S. Navy

Abstract

Measurements were made on three-conductor power cable for shipboard use to determine the effect of increased operating frequency (60-800 cps) on the operating characteristics of the cable, and to determine the extent of interference voltage induced in adjacent communication or control circuits by load currents in the power cable. Results of the investigation indicate the extent of reduction in current capacity and the increase in line voltage regulation as the frequency is increased. No interference voltage was observed in adjacent circuits under any condition of load in the power circuit.
