Cable accessories (terminations, joints, connectors) are critical for reliable power transmission. Proper installation ensures longevity and safety:
1.Surface Prep: Clean the cable sheath/insulation meticulously. Remove semiconductor layers precisely to avoid damage.
2.Component Assembly: Follow the manufacturer’s sequence (e.g., stress cone, insulator, sealing layers). Avoid stretching or twisting components.
3.Connector Crimping: Use calibrated tools. Verify crimp depth and pressure to prevent hotspots.
4.Sealing & Shielding: Apply moisture-blocking tapes/compounds. Ensure electrical stress control layers are intact.
5.Testing: Conduct insulation resistance (IR) and partial discharge (PD) tests post-installation.
