INTRODUCTION
Utility engineers, architect-engineering personnel, developers and industrials are
often faced with considering an underground cable option either as a portion of an
otherwise overhead line, to connect nearby substations, as entry to an already
congested substation, or in urban setting where underground transmission or
distribution is the only alternative.
The attendees of this seminar will gain an overall understanding of the major underground
cable system types including extruded and self-contained, as well as an understanding
about elements of design, manufacturing, installation and operation of underground
transmission and distribution cables.

Albany. Mr. Bascom is a licensed professional engineer in the U.S., has authored over 40
technical papers or publications and holds one patent.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course will be of interest to those wanting to gain an understanding about underground
cable systems, components and applications, including alternatives to building power
transmission and distribution circuits overhead.
Attendees of this course should be generally familiar with power systems; a background in
electrical, mechanical or civil engineering will be helpful in understanding some concepts.
