This is an interesting lab setup, but... Are underwater cables ever not paired? HVDC are always coaxial, so... No field. Edit: paired but not always coaxial,

This is an interesting lab setup, but...
Are underwater cables ever not paired? HVDC are always coaxial, so... No field.
Edit: paired but not always coaxial, so it's possible to get a small field.
- ncmncm 4y agoI strongly doubt they are paired. A single conductor with earth return works as well, at half the cost.
- londons_explore 4y agoEarth return is really what we should be banning. It causes small amounts of metal corrosion across areas hundreds of miles wide, destroying other infrastructure like bridges. It probably also is bad for the environment, but evidence for that is weak so far.
- ncmncm 4y agoI have not heard of this. It seems ... unlikely. If you have a reference you would like to pass along, you might change minds about this.
