Definitions
from The Century Dictionary.
- To expand at the end to form a cup or pot: said of electrical cables which, when used for very high voltages, have their covering or armor spread out to form a cup, which is then filled with insulating material. The armor is usually of lead, hence the potheading can easily be done, and prevents short-circuiting between the cable and cover or armor.
