Zusammenfassung:A graded contained bulk transmission system to transmit thousands of megawatts of electric power over distances of hundreds of miles at voltages from the order of 500,000 volts to as high as 1,500,000 volts and above. The concept is discussed in detail with respect to each phase of a polyphase system, the power in each phase being transmitted by a plurality of concentric, circular conducting cylinders the inner of which carries power at the highest voltage in the axial direction, the intermediate cylinder (or cylinders) carries power at a predetermined intermediate voltage (or voltages), and the outer cylinder is at ground potential and carries the neutral or return current for the inner conductors.
