Electrical Stress Control In Cable Joints And Terminations

It doesn t matter the type of cable or manufacturer the.

Electrical stress control in cable joints and terminations.

Sometimes some types of cable splices can be a back to back cable termination like the stop joint pictures i showed in a previous post. This is why all mv joints and terminations have stress control components whose function is to reduce the electric stress at the screen edge and other positions of high stress to acceptable levels. Another common method is heat shrinkable stress control tubing that is used to control high electrical stresses at insulation screen terminating point in medium voltage plastic and paper insulated cable joints and terminations up to 36 kv. Today we overview chapter 7 stress control in polymeric medium voltage cable accessories.

Figure 55 shows the stress control method used from the earliest days of cable accessory development. The following information has been republished with kind permission of 3m electrical. Choosing cable terminations to reduce electrical stress. Traditional geometric stress cone.
