Cable Joints

The document discusses cable jointing techniques and accessories. The key points are: 1. Cable joints must not add resistance to the circuit and provide mechanical and electrical protection under all service conditions while resisting corrosion. 2. Common joint types include straight-through, tee/branch, and termination joints. 3. Jointing accessories include sleeve-type joints using insulating sleeves or tapes and cast resin joints using pre-mixed resin poured into a leak-proof mould.

Cable Jointing

The quality of jointing should be such that it does not add any resistance to the circuit. The materials and techniques employed should give adequate mechanical and electrical protection to the joints under all service conditions. The joint should be further resistant to corrosion and other chemical effects. General Points to be remembered while selecting a good joint: 1. The conductivity of the joined conductor is not less than that of an equivalent length of enjoined conductor, and the conductivity of the enclosing metallic sheath and armouring is maintained unimpaired. 2. The insulation of cable is maintained and at the joint is not less effective than that of cable cores. 3. The joint is properly enclosed to prevent mechanical damage or the ingress of moisture. 4. The joint will withstand the mechanical stress imposed by a short circuit and the thermal effects of normal or fault currents. Basic Type of Joints 1. Straight through Joints: This joint is used to connect two cable lengths together.

2. Tee/ Branch Joint This is normally used for jointing a service cable to the main distribution cable in city distribution network. 3. Termination or Sealing End This is used to connect a cable to switchgear terminal in switchboards and distribution pillars transformer boxes etc. Types of Cable Jointing Accessories a. Sleeve Type Joints This joint comprises: Dressing of cable ends and conductor joints.

Cable Jointing
Replacing factory made insulation by manual wrapping of tapes or application of preformed insulating sleeves. Plumbing metallic sleeve or wiping gland to the lead sheath of the cable to prevent moisture from entering the joint. Filling the metallic sleeve with molten bitumen compound or insulating compound Fixing a cast iron or any other protective shell around the joint filling the same once again with molten bitumen compound. b. Cast Resin Joint Dressing of cable ends and conductor joints Wiping dry - the core insulation should be wiped dry and all parts, which are to be embedded in casting resin should be roughened and cleared with degreasing agents. Fixing two halves of mould the cable joints or ends and sticking them together and sealing to form a leak proof cast mould. Pouring pre-mixed cast resin and hardener into the mould. Allowing sufficient time for setting casting resin Removing plastics mould. In cas of buried joint, the plastics mould may be left intact.
