MEASUREMENTS IN MULTIPAIRED CABLES 667 



This relation was used to evaluate €o/€mut for 3 pulp insulated cables for 

 which the necessary data were available. The results are shown in Table A. 

 None of the 3 cables has a Cg/emut ratio different from unity by more than 

 2%. The average for the 3 cables is 1.0 and it is felt that the ±2% deviation 

 could be due to inaccuracies inherent to conductance measurements. These 

 data represent the only attempt to quantitatively evaluate non-homogeneity 

 in pulp or paper insulated cable dielectrics and, while not by any means 

 conclusive, they tend to substantiate the belief that the effects of any such 

 non-homogeneity on the ej,/€mut ratio is small.
