Upskilling To EHV – Training Opportunities For Cable Jointers With G&W Electric
December 20th, 2019T&D are frequently asked to provide advice and training recommendations to ambitious cable jointers intending to up-skill from MV-HV (6.6kV, 11kV, 33kV) to EHV transmission and distribution voltage levels (typically 132kV, 230kV, 400kV).
So, we decided to ask G&W Electric (USA), a leading global supplier of electric power equipment – since 1905 G&W have manufactured world-class transmission and distribution cable accessories including cable terminations and cable splices for XLPE, PILC, low and high pressure, fluid and gas filled, self-contained and pipe type cable systems.
“We have training programmes to certify Cable Jointers to install G&W cable splicing and terminating products. We usually carry out such training in our headquarter, Bolingbrook, IL, USA. Based on the resume/experience of the cable jointer, we will design a specific program on all of our extruded cable accessories (usually 230kV, outdoor termination, GIS/GUS termination and cable joint), which can last 1-2 weeks. After the jointer training, we will issue certificate (with or without G&W supervision on site). For those certified with supervision, we will go to the site with the jointer during the real project. If the cable jointer’s work meets our requirement, we will update the certificate without supervision. For anyone interested in our training program, they can reach me at [email protected],” replied Kai Zhou (Product Development Engineer at G&W Electric Co.).
Overview of G&W Cable Accessories
In 1905 G&W introduced the first disconnectable cable terminating device.
Over 100 years later, G&W continues to create technical innovations that have improved performance and reliability. With over 100 years experience, G&W is the name you can trust for quality cable accessories. With sales representation worldwide, G&W has a proven track record for success. G&W cable accessories are designed to accommodate cables from all manufacturers and can be created to accommodate any customer cable system. The optional mechanical shrink feature offers an easier and faster installation while reducing possible damage during installation. G&W also offers installation supervision and installation training, which can be customised to suit the audience.
