Enclosures, Joints & Splices for FO Cables
The Prysmian ESDF4 In Line Joint is an underground cable joint suitable for direct burial and underground chamber applications. The fibre splices/joints, manufactured by Prysmian, are used for the jointing, splicing and branching of optical cables with a total capacity of 72 fibres.
The Prysmian joint kit is supplied with six splice trays each able to accommodate up to 12 fibre splices. Cable entry glands, splice protectors and mounting brackets are ordered separately to suit the application requirements.
Note: Four Cable Entry Kits must be ordered per joint. If only two cables are required blank entry kits must be used to seal the fibre splicde or joint.

*ILJ Cable Entry Kits are used to install cables into an In Line Joint. One kit contains all of the components required to prepare, install and route the fibres of one cable to the splice trays. Four Cable Entry Kits must be used. If only two cables are required to be installed, then two blank kits must be ordered also.  (Kits are available for installing one, two or four cables into a port, depending on the cable diameter).

Theoretical Background
Source: EFI report TR A3901 Jan 1993
The following article and formula enables the calculation of cable cleat/clamp spacings to enable adequate short-circuit restraint of LV MV HV cables onto cable containment in onshore or offshore medium/high voltage substations.
Fb=(0.5 x 0.2 x kApeak2)/a where:
Recommended distance between Oglaend Smart Cleat clamps mounted on cable ladders is shown in the image below:
The calculated number of Oglaend cable clamps is included using Smart Securing Plate in both ends of the cable run.
The distance between the cable clamps should be reduced in vertical and horizontal bends.
The recommended maximum distance between Smart Cleats is 0.9m.
Recommended distance between Oglaend Smart Cleat clamps when not installed on cable ladder is shown in the image below:
At the start and at the end of the cable run it is recommended to install 3 cable cleats with 150mm distance between them. The calculation above is including these cable cleats.
The distance between the cleats must be reduced during vertical and horizontal bends. The maximum recommended distance between Smart Cleats is 0.9m.
Secure plates are strongly recommended to be used at both ends of a trefoil cable run. Realistic tests done on several cable lengths and clamp distances confirms the theory that the cable must be additionally secured at both ends to reduce arching and eliminate deformation and stretch marks on the cable.

Sealing Cables In Offshore Substations – A Roxtec CPD
uploaded by Chris Dodds - Sales & Marketing Manager Thorne & Derrick International
An overview of sealing cables in LV MV HV offshore substations based upon industry standards and practical experience – understand and learn about the importance of sealing cable entry points and cable ducts.
The focus of the CPD relates to the causal of Partial Discharge in substation switchroom environments and looks at the primary mitigation measure of deploying proper cable sealing solutions in order to achieve optimum switchroom conditions for electrical switchgear and assets to operate in.
The CPD seminar lasts approximately 1¼ hr and is aimed at Engineers involved in the design, build and installation of electrical substations, in addition to Managers responsible for Asset Management and Maintenance, Quality, Safety and Environment.
