  1. A 60 kV (rms) single core metal sheathed cable is to be graded by means of a metallic intersheath. The safe electric stress of the insutating material is 6 kV/mm (rms). The overal diameter of the intersheath is ________ mm
    1. 2.0 mm
    2. 20 mm
    3. 0.020 mm
    4. 200 mm
Correct Option: B

V = 60 kV (rms),
gmax = 6 kV/mm (rms)

V1 =
V
=
60
= 22.1 kV
e2.718

r =
V
=
60
= 3.67 mm
egmax2.718

Radius of intersheath,
r1 =
V
=
60
= 10 mm
gmax6

Diameter of intersheath = 2r1 = 20 mm
