Re: hv cable termination

I can tell you that the cable prep is the most critical part of the termination as far as it's long term reliability. Showing you how is way beyond the scope of this forum though. Here is a link to some videos showing Raychems products. It only shows how to put on there kits, not how to prep the cable. If you haven't done it I suggest hiering someone that has experience in this field.

We are very selective about who we let do our medium voltage (especially shielded medium voltage) cable terminating.
 
Re: hv cable termination

I have been in the Electrical field for 50 years, and now retired and teaching at a local community college.
If I had a termination job as you have stated, I would call the Expert Termination people to assist and show me how to do the job properly. This is not a place where you want to cut corners.
Even with my expertise, I would not attempt to do this job without some expert help.
 
Re: hv cable termination

There may be other factors at work here than JUST the termination - is it in a manhole, aerial, in a switchgear/cube, proximity to other live parts, etc.

If you are unfamiliar with any/all the variables involved...you're best option is to hire/sub this job out to a qualified shop and/or call a union hall to find such contractors.

After the terminations are made, testing is required BEFORE the cable/equipment is energized. This task is generally performed by yet another outfit - a qualified shop will have a short list of testing companies they use.
