115-Kv High-Pressure Oil-Filled Pipe Cable Installation at New Orleans, La.

The first major high-voltage pipe-type installation in this country to be installed without any stop joints and the first in which the cable was shipped without the conventional temporary lead sheath was placed in service in June 1947, by New Orleans Public Service, Incorporated. This installation incorporates a number of novel design features of unusual interest. The paper describes these features and reports the results of tests and studies carried out in connection with this installation.
