Cable knits from Nordic lands : beauty and ingenuity in over 20 unique patterns
Swedish knitting phenom Ivar Asplund learned how to work cabling from his grandmother and was smitten right away--such marvelously intricate designs, and yet at their heart the underlying principles were so simple. A few stitches trading places here and there, and suddenly flowing braids, interwoven figures of eight, or classic x-and-o patterns came to life before his eyes. In this compelling collection, Asplund invites knitters to join him in exploring the possibilities, combining his grandmother's well-loved lessons in classic and time-tested cable knitting techniques with the elegant simplicity of contemporary Scandinavian design. You'll find over 20 projects, ranging from sweaters, cardigans, and ponchos to scarves, wrist warmers, and hats--for children and adults--that offer an attractive balance of historic and modern elements, as well as superior fit. Step-by-step pattern instructions guide novice cablers through straightforward reversible projects and eye-catching cable repeats; veterans can test their skills on larger, more complex garments with multiple cable panels; and a tutorial section explains the fundamentals of working and combining cables in any design to achieve a variety of striking effects.

A Comprehensive Review of Cable Monitoring Techniques for Nuclear Power Plants
Cables are critical to the safe and reliable operation of nuclear power plants (NPPs) since they are widely used as a connection medium for various safety-critical equipment. According to research data and operational experience (OPEX), cable materials can degrade with time, resulting in reduced dielectric strength and higher leakage current. Cables may degrade gradually over time under normal service conditions and fail unexpectedly as a result of sudden exposure to harsher environments, such as Secondary Steam Line Breaks (SSLBs), or when required to operate under the severe conditions of a design basis event, such as a Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA). To assess the condition of medium- and low-voltage cables in Canadian nuclear power plants, numerous inspection methods and electrical testing techniques are employed. These techniques include dielectric spectroscopy, polarization/depolarization current analysis, reflectometry, dielectric standby tests, AC partial discharge, and very-low-frequency (VLF) Tan Delta assessments for medium-voltage (MV) cables. While these methods provide precise diagnostic insights, they require cables to be disconnected at both ends and de-energized, posing operational constraints. Consequently, on-line plant cable monitoring has garnered significant interest, particularly for new reactor developments and large-scale NPP refurbishments. This paper provides a comprehensive benchmarking of existing technologies and a state-of-the-art review of modern cable assessment methodologies. It examines commercially available solutions and ongoing research in power testing for low-voltage (LV) and MV cables, with a particular focus on their applicability in nuclear power settings.

Advancements and Challenges in Power Cable Laying
The laying of power cables is a crucial aspect of developing and maintaining modern electrical infrastructure, which is vital for transmitting electricity reliably and efficiently. This review discusses the challenges and advancements in cable laying technologies, emphasizing the critical role of these techniques in meeting the increasing demands for power transmission in the backdrop of the global shift to renewable energy. Three main traditional cable laying methods are explored, including underground, overhead, and submarine, each suited to specific environmental and operational conditions. Then, the cable faults due to the impropriate laying process are discussed. Subsequently, the challenges and advancements encountered in cable laying processes are investigated, especially the difficulties of the cable laying of underground cable, submarine cable, and high-temperature superconductivity cable. This review also considers the impact of technological innovations on improving efficiency in cable laying processes, highlighting the advances driven by digitalization and automation.

Comparative Analysis of XLPE and Thermoplastic Insulation-Based HVDC Power Cables
The application of cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cables to voltage sourced converter (VSC)-based high voltage direct current (HVDC) systems has already been technically verified and has become common, and thermoplastic (TP) is attracting attention as an insulation material for next-generation cables due to the recent development of material-related technologies. However, studies related to TP cables are mainly focused on improving material properties, and studies related to cable systems are insufficient. In this paper, XLPE and TP cables were designed for application to VSC-based HVDC systems, and major characteristics such as electric field distribution and thermal stability were compared and analyzed through overvoltage simulation. The insulation design method of HVDC cable was presented, and the design was performed using XLPE and TP insulation materials. The temperature and electric field profiles of the cables were also analyzed through a finite element method simulation. To analyze the performance of the designed cable, it was simulated with the PSCAD/EMTDC program. Based on the simulation results, the major characteristics of XLPE and TP cables were compared and analyzed. Results showed that in the case of TP cables, insulation properties were excellent, but thermal conductivity was relatively low; therefore, countermeasures are needed.
