More info: Euromold Screened Separable Connectors
Nexans Euromold 480TB type MV separable connectors are used to terminate MV-HV XLPE/EPR (polymeric) insulated cables up to 42kV into Interface C Bushings.
Nexan’s 480TB tee connector with 630A – 1250A current rating is designed for Interface C and covers voltages from 12kV to 42kV with a maximum conductor size of 300sqmm.
Nexans separable connectors are typically used to terminate cables on power systems and circuits distributing MV-HV electricity at 6.6kV, 11kV, 33kV and 66kV according to CENELEC EN50180 and IEEE ANSI – in the site photographs below the 33kV single core cables (185sqmm) with XLPE insulation and copper wire screens are shown prepared and awaiting connection of the Euromold connectors. The copper wire screens are oversleeved with green/yellow insulation and bonded to earth point.
Once installed the high voltage cable terminations were subjected to and passed VLF, Tan Delta and PD tests.
The Euromold range of Separable Connectors are suitable for the termination of power cables onto all MV-HV bushing interfaces:

Single core 11kV heat shrink termination for medium or high voltage XLPE cables in indoor applications are designed to terminate polymeric insulated 11kV cables into air insulated switchgear and cable end boxes.
Single core 11kV cable termination kits are supplied with all the necessary components for 3 single core terminations:

The cables have been terminated using heat shrink cable terminations and bolted to the copper busbar using crimp or mechanical shearbolt 11kV cable lugs. The 11kV copper wire screens have been bundled and bonded to an earth point using brass type mechanical lugs.
Note the smooth and even completed finish of the anti-track heat shrink (coloured red) to the cable termination evidencing the subtle skill of the cable jointer to avoid over-heating or localised scorching to the heat shrink tubes by inconsistent application of the naked flame from the heat shrink gas torch.

Industrial Power Units Limited offer arc flash protection systems for switchgear consisting of a protection relay and arc flash detection sensor. It is estimated that there are 8 to 10 arc flash incidents every week in the UK with switchgear often being neglected from protection even though accidents are a common occurrence causing devastating consequences.
Arc Flash Protection System
This short animation shows a basic configuration set-up of an arc protection system. This Arcteq system features AQ110 and 3 AQ101 relays, along with several point sensors. This comprehensive set-up will allow for rapid arc detection (just 2 ms). The quick tripping of the circuit breaker will result in less damage from the arc or arc flash to both electrical equipment and personnel working nearby because it cannot reach full velocity.
An arc flash can be produced as the result of a short circuit between different live conductors, a short circuit between a live conductor and an earth under a fault condition, or by separating live conductors during operational conditions.
The result is a powerful explosion of energy. The explosion will vaporise switchgear components as temperatures reach 20,000°C. The direct costs from this are undoubtedly high. The indirect costs from lost production can be even higher.
Arc flash and protection simply cannot be ignored.
Giving employees arc flash clothing and PPE is the standard response to the threat of arc flashes. Whilst this is an important step to take to protect employees, it won’t protect your equipment. It won’t prevent disruption to your business.
The AQ100 arc flash relay recognises an arc fault through light detection only or a combination of overcurrent and light detection. The relay then sends a trip command to the circuit breaker nearest to the fault. The breaker is opened, the current cut and the arc eliminated.
It takes just 30ms for the arc flash to reach maximum pressure and 100ms for temperatures to reach 20,000°C. The AQ100 arc flash relay will detect the fault in just 2ms and will send the trip command to eliminate the arc in less than 7ms. The ultra-fast speed of the tripping means damage will be limited to just a small section of the LV MV HV switchgear and electrical equipment.
And with selective tripping available, just the circuit breaker of the feeder affected by the fault will trip. The rest of the feeders will stay functional.
The ultra-fast reaction of the AQ100 system will ensure the safety of operating personnel even during an arc flashover.
Don’t underestimate the importance of protecting your equipment as well as your employees.
