For effective control of underground corrosion on electric systems, there is a need for new data concerning the behavior in soils of neutral wires and jacketing materials that are used on underground power cables. This need has arisen with the recent, rapid increase in the proportion of electric facilities placed underground. The data are needed for design of cathodic protection against corrosion, and for choices of designs and materials when new facilities are to be built. Those who have been responsible for corrosion control, design and construction of the underground electric facilities have become aware that much of the data needed simply does not exist.
