Cable Splicing And Terminating – Medium Voltage
Proper installation of cable splices and terminations drastically improves the lifetime of cables and prevents damage to downstream equipment, and more importantly, nearby personnel. Inadequate installation and testing of cable joints and terminations is the number one cause of failure (IEEE Std 493-2007 Table 10-33). Properly trained personnel can alleviate issues and improve safety while dealing with solid dielectric power cables.
This hands-on course is intended for new or experienced electricians and technicians that install, maintain, repair or troubleshoot 5-35kV solid dielectric power cables. The student should have some field experience and basic knowledge of AC/DC electricity. In addition, students must bring cut resistant, minimum level 4 protective gloves.
