A following sequence of photographs document a day of medium voltage training by some participants in the Jointer Training Center of GOA Leidingtechniek, The Netherlands.
The cable accessories used included NKT 72kV Cable Termination & Joint, Elcon Megarad 72kV Heatshrink Termination, SPS Heatshrink Joint, 3M Coldshrink Joint and Screened Separable Connector from Nexans Euromold.
Some things went very good, some went reasonable, and some things went completely wrong. But the motivation to learn and to do a very good job is perfect. And I told them again, you can’t learn experience, for that you need a lot of practice.
Nobody can be a cable jointer with a training course of 5 or 6 days.
For quality you need a lot of training and experience but I promise everyone that these guys will get there. You are going to be a great jointers. You only need time, motivation, practice, more time, more practice and love for your work.
