COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises where participants carryout 115 KV cable jointing, termination, splicing and testing. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using the latest heat-shrink jointing and termination methods suitable for in-class training. 

The range of voltage and capacity of power transmitted through cables is showing a steady increase over the years. Environmental concerns, aesthetic issues, lack of transmission corridors and difficulty in routing overhead lines in crowded human habitats are some of the reasons for the explosive growth of cable technology well into the new voltage range. Due to physical limits on cable lengths for manufacturing and packaging, joints in cable become inevitable, particularly in the context of the utility sector. The cables need to be also terminated at sending and receiving end equipment, a very wide variety of them, in utility as well as industry applications and these calls for appropriate cable termination accessories. 

 

Cable terminations and joints form the weakest link in any distribution system. Also, a failed joint in an underground distribution system is much more difficult to locate and repair compared to any similar problem in overhead distribution systems. This means that we should do our utmost to achieve a good joint or termination, which can give years of trouble-free service.
