Abstract: The use of high voltage direct current (HVDC) for electrical transmission is a cause for concern for all owners of underground metallic structures. Research has been under way for several years directed toward what the problem is and how it can be counteracted. Preliminary tests indicate that HVDC transmission with ground return can affect buried structures over 100 miles from the electrodes. As electrical requirements in this country expand, steps must be taken to be certain that HVDC systems with ground return must not be built to cause damage to underground metallic structures. But it is not my intent to dwell on the technical aspects of the problem.
