    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_power_line

    Underground cable locations are not always obvious, which can lead to unwary diggers damaging cables or being electrocuted. Operations are more difficult since underground cables' high reactive power produces large charging currents, making voltage control more difficult. Large charging currents arise due to the higher capacitance from ...
