Click for video

Summary

This 60-minute DVD is an introduction to splicing and terminating high-voltage cables. It explains how these cables are constructed, how they relieve voltage stress, and how they eliminate static charges. It demonstrates how to splice cables using a splice kit, how to make hand-built splices, and how to terminate cables.

Training Sessions

  • High Voltage Conductors - Construction - 6 minutes Describes the functions of the components of a high-voltage cable, from the inside component out: conductor, shield, insulation, insulator shield, jacket, sheath.
  • High Voltage Conductors - Operation - 7 minutes Explains why some cable covers are semi-conducting. Shows how certain layers of a cable relieve voltage stress, dissipate static charge.
  • Splice Kit Application - 14 minutes Demonstrates step-by-step procedures for splicing a 13 kV cable with XLP insulation. Shows how to use special tools that make this job easier. Discusses the function of each item in a splice kit. Explains the purpose of a stress cone.
  • Preparing a Conductor for a Hand-Built Splice - 11 minutes Demonstrates how to prepare 69 kV cables with cross-linked insulation for a hand-built splice. Demonstrates power tools and hand tools used for this job.
  • Hand-Built Splice - 8 minutes Demonstrates the many steps in making a hand-built splice on 69 kV cables. Explains how a hand-built stress cone eases voltage stress in the area of a splice.
  • Terminations - 15 minutes Explains how splices and terminations are similar, and how they are different. Demonstrates how to install a termination on a 13 kV cable with EPR insulation.
