Some Comments via LinkedIn
Ahmed Gouda : Great job! But if i may ask, why you did not install the insulator first inside the GIS housing?
Andrew Brezovszky : Hi Ahmed, not sure about your question … As far as I’m aware, there isn’t another method for these GIS cable terminations. When we are actually plugging them in, we install the shield and connectors and that’s how they are being raised into the chamber.
Chris Barker : Ahmed in answer to your question. Certain manufacturers have the insulator installed first then the cable termination is made and plugged into the insulator. Others you complete the termination and then plug into the switchgear.
Ahmed Gouda : Yes, normally in the plug in type, the insulator is mounted first in the cable housing then the cable with the stress cone is plugged in. Otherwise if its a wet type termination ( insulator is filled with oil).
Chris Barker : Some company’s have a dry type which they still mount the insulator on the cable then into the switchgear.

11kV Triplex Cable Joints
11kV triplex cables provide high voltage (HV) mains power distribution for utility and industrial applications – 11kV triplex cable consists of three single core high voltage cables in triplex formation according to BS7870 – 4.10. separable connectors are also known as screened elbow connectors or tee connectors.
11kV heat shrink cable joints suit unarmoured and armoured cables – this includes high voltage industrial power (XLPE BS6622 BS7835 with aluminium wire armour AWA) and marine offshore ship cable (EPR BS6883 with galvanised/phosphur wire braid) and copper wire or copper tape screen. Suitable also for BS7870 triplex cables.
Options include transition (PILC to XLPE) and transition trifurcating (3 x single core PILC to 3 Core XLPE) cable joints.
HV CABLE JOINTS – HEAT SHRINK JOINTS 11KV 33KV HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES
Heat shrink cable joints include straight, transition and branch types for XLPE, PILC and EPR single and 3 core cables – suitable for all types of polymeric and paper insulated medium/high voltage cables with/without steel wire armour or braid, copper tape/wire screens and copper or aluminium conductors up to 33kV.
