can mointor what is happening inside the cable you know if
a 3rd party has slightly hit the cable as you a low
pressure alarm goes off less dielectic losses smaller
conductor size for same ammount of current for xlpe see ppl
oil filled cable they have been used for many years
disav higher cost takes longer to join lead sheath of older
cables leak.. this has been improved by alum sheath
Xlpe adv cheaper less maintenance.
xlpe disadantages unable to see when the cable is going to
fail no pre warning water can migrate into xlpe greater
