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.
