V. CONCLUSION
Switching transients are one of the most important
problems for operation of transmission system with large
share of AC cable. The reason is laid in the difference
between characteristics of cable and overhead line which
makes the switching transient phenomena a more severe
problem. The mathematical representation of cable
transmission system is reviewed and analyzed. Some
