Thorne & Derrick are Main UK Stockists for Alroc cable preparation tools used by cable jointers and splicers working on LV, MV, HV and EHV cables to enable the removal or stripping of outer cable sheath, semi-conductor screen and insulation.

T&D can provide expert technical recommendations on the correct jointing and preparation tools to use on all types of high voltage power cables.

Sudkabel Cable Termination 115kV (GIS) With Oil Filled Terminations

Sudkabel built-in terminations for gas-insulated switchgear and transformers include dry, compact terminations EHSVS (SF6-enclosure) and EHTVS (for oil-filled transformer) types.

Sudkabel EHV Cable Terminations & Joints Overview

• Compact Built-in Terminations (SF6) – Sudkabel EHSVS
• Compact Built-in Terminations (Oil Filled Transformer) – Sudkabel EHTVS
• Outdoor Cable Terminations With Liquid Insulation
• Gas Insulated Outdoor Cable Terminations
• 72.5kV-550kV EHV Cable Joints – Sudkabel SEHDV (CB)
• EHV Cable Jointing Tools

For outdoor EHV cable terminations, Südkabel distinguishes between terminations filled with liquid insulation (EHFV and EHFVC series) and the dry, gas-filled type EHFVCS. Sudkabel EHFVC is a light-weight, slim-line outdoor termination with a rigid-type composite insulator – a variant with a porcelain insulator (EHFV type) for all voltage levels is also available. In both types of cable termination, the electric field is controlled by means of prefabricated stress cones made of silicone rubber.

TECO & PILC Cable

“We only replace PILC cable that goes bad. We have about 95% in our Network system downtown. About 75% in our UCD system downtown. And about 60% at our UCD system at TIA our airport. We use P&C transition modules for take offs to our switchgears. The cable box is filled using G&W 219 insulating oil heated to 250 degrees Celsius,” John clarifies.

TECO utilise a mix of traditional PILC cable jointing accessories including varnished cambric tape from Mac Products.

0.3 Square Inch PILC STA To 3 Core 300sqmm Wavecon Mains Transitional Straight Cable Joint

Wavecon Cable

Wavecon cable is the typical replacement for paper/lead cables in the LV distribution network.

Wavecon cable is available as “CNE” and also “SNE” – the construction is (usually) aluminium conductors (three for CNE with a fourth for a neutral in the SNE variant). The outer armouring is a copper tape/copper wire armour, providing either just the earth (SNE) or a combined neutral/earth (CNE).

Jointing Tools

“The cable jointing tools I used to strip down the cable were a depth gauge saw to take the steel tape amours off the imperial paper insulation lead cable. Once the bitumen layers were removed with the gas torch and premane wipes I then used a hammer and insulated hack knife to remove the lead sheath down to the belt papers and the paper cores,” comments Daniel.
