Early undergrounding had a basis in the detonation of mining explosives and in undersea telegraph cables. Electric cables were used in Russia to detonate mining explosives in 1812, and to carry telegraph signals across the English Channel in 1850. [1] With the spread of early electrical power systems, undergrounding began to increase as well.
A three phase electric circuit terminated with a pothead Crossarms with two three phase electric circuits terminated with potheads. A pothead is a type of insulated electrical terminal used for transitioning between overhead line and underground high-voltage cable or for connecting overhead wiring to equipment like transformers.

In the electrical wiring of buildings, a cable tray system is used to support insulated electrical cables used for power distribution, control, and communication. Cable trays are used as an alternative to open wiring or electrical conduit systems, and are commonly used for cable management in commercial and industrial construction.
In the Dandenong Ranges area Victoria 2014. Medium voltage (11-22 kV) ABC is being replaced with underground cable due to high failure rates of HV ABC, with life expectancy of just 10 years, when original life was expected to be approx 30 years. Due to degraded cable, cost of repairs & maintenance and bushfire risk.
In electric power distribution, a service drop is an overhead electrical line running from a utility pole, to a customer's building or other premises. It is the point where electric utilities provide power to their customers. [1] The customer connection to an underground distribution system is usually called a "service lateral".
Diagram of leaky feeder cable. A leaky feeder is a communications system used in underground mines and inside tunnels. [1] Manufacturers and cabling professionals use the term "radiating cable" [2] [3] [better source needed] [4] as this implies that the cable is designed to radiate: something that a typical coaxial cable is generally not intended to do.

If the label says "12-3", this cable has four conductors—three 12-gauge insulated wires and a bare copper ground wire. [ 5 ] Different types of cables are approved for different applications; the cable used for interior wiring in dry locations is different from the types approved for underground burial, direct embedment in concrete, or ...
