ABB NKT SMPGB Straight Joint
SMPGB straight joints manufactured by ABB are for jointing EHV XLPE and EPR insulated transmission cables with aluminium or copper conductors. The cable joints are suitable for jointing two cables that have different dimensions or screen sheath designs. The cable joint consists of a pre-moulded rubber tube with two pre-moulded rubber adapters, a bolt connector and a prefabricated PUR casted copper casing as outer protection for the joint.
In this instance it is recommended to use Alroc Tools for sheath, screen and insulation removal, however the correct cable jointing tool to use is dependent on the length of the chamfer and the EHV Joint product that is being installed.
Should you require any assistance with the selection or specification of cable joints or terminations please do not hesitate to contact us.
