Spacer Cable

Hendrix/Marmon Utility white paper details spacer-cable design for substation exits

IEEE Spectrum published a sponsored white paper from Hendrix by Marmon Utility examining how covered, spacer-supported overhead conductors behave near substation exits, where many feeders converge and a single fault risk affects multiple circuits. The paper covers thermal ratings, protection, grounding, structural and insulation-coordination requirements, and compares this approach with conventional bare overhead lines and underground shielded cable.
