Abstract:
A high voltage oil-impregnated electrical cable with fully polymer taped insulation operable to 765 kV. Biaxially oriented, specially processed, polyethylene, polybutene or polypropylene tape with an embossed pattern is wound in multiple layers over a conductive core with a permeable screen around the insulation. Conventional oil which closely matches the dielectric constant of the tape is used, and the cable can be impregnated after field installation because of its excellent impregnation characteristics.
A fully electronic chronometer using a quartz crystal as a frequency standard and displaying mean time by the use of electronically operated digital read-outs. The circuit permits the display of the instant of time at which a switch is operated, while mean time continues to be counted by the circuitry. Other features include conservation of power by display of mean time only upon demand and the provision for control and display remote from the timing circuitry.
