Description
Workmanship issues are one of the leading causes of medium/high voltage splice failures. Accurate removal of the cable’s insulation, semi-conductive sheathing, protective jacketing and other materials produces consistent and uniform cable ends for splicing and terminations. Cuts have to be perfectly smooth. Removing cable layers must not damage the layer beneath it. Otherwise, voltage stresses lead to early cable failures. Safety is another consideration. Trimming cables with an ordinary knife risks serious injury.
In this workshop, Prysmian Power Cables & Systems will demonstrate the newest cable preparation tools that are available to help cable splicers perform safe, uniform and more consistent cable preparation. These specialty tools peel off jackets, remove concentric neutrals, score semi-con, and remove insulation. Better yet, these tools can provide up to a 50% reduction in cable preparation time – leading to reduced labor costs and the ability to restore power quickly during emergency cable restorations.
