Spacer Cable

About the Topic
The presentation will compare the three most common substation exit
options currently available to utilities: bare wire overhead,
underground and spacer cable, and the advantages and disadvantage of
each. Topics will include design, costs, real estate, reliability,
voltage, R/W, terminations, transitions and additional circuits. Case
studies and actual projects will be examined. Substation exits are
critical and utilities should consider all options in today's
reliability demands and cost constraints.
