Water-Cooled Cable

A cable that is internally cooled by circulating water. A high-voltage cable can carry two or three times as much current as a conventional cable of equiv­alent size, with a consequent saving in costly copper conductor. The central duct is formed by a helical strip round which the conductor is stranded, in the same way as in a single-core, oil-filled cable.
