Requirements, Expectations & Rewards

Thorne & Derrick, the Distribution Partners of Nexans Power Accessories, have united to provide an industry commitment to ensuring the safe and reliable installation of MV-HV Cable Accessories – a series of 10 Jointer Training Modules are now available to support the training requirements for Cable Jointers upskilling from LV to MV to HV with tailored courses at 11kV, 33kV and 66kV voltage levels.

Nexans Power Accessories are proud to announce the opening of their new UK Jointer Training & Testing Facility together with a state of the art test laboratory.

Nexans Power Accessories are fully committed to raising the standards throughout the UK for cable accessory installation including cable joints, terminations and connectors for medium/high voltage cables.

The new jointer training courses are specifically tailored to enable upskilling of cable jointers from LV to MV 11kV, 33kV and 66kV.

The Jointer Training courses cover various cable constructions, cable preparation plus the installation of heat shrink/cold shrink push on cable terminations, separable connectors and cable joints.

The jointer training courses will also explain about electric stress and the methods of dealing with it. What happens if products are not installed correctly, along with how the MV-HV products are made and how they should be handled.

Get Nexans Competent Not Familiar

These Jointer Training Courses are not introductory “Familiarisation” courses – each prospective candidate will be vetted prior to acceptance onto the course. If suitably qualified and experienced the candidate will be accepted onto the course – they will be required to undertake MV cable preparation and submit a test piece of cable terminated one end with a push on/slip on type termination and the other end with a separable connector. The submission will then be tested for AC withstand and partial discharge (PD) in the new “state-of-the-art” Nexans Test Laboratory.

Certification

Upon the successful completion of the Laboratory Test the candidate will be presented with a 3 Part Competency Certificate – comprising of a signed certificate, photo card and test report issued by a global cable manufacturer the Jointer Certification will be recognised and welcomed by all developers, network operators and clients.

11kV 33kV 66kV Medium & High Voltage Jointer Competency Training

A series of cable jointer training modules are available to support a range of MV-HV training requirements covering cable jointers upskilling from LV upwards.

The new Nexans test lab centre is fully equipped with work benches and individual work stations complete with screened bushings and cable cleats, in order to replicate a realistic installation environment.

Competency Course Modules

➡ Please Note: Modules cover Terminations, Joints & Separable Connectors. Products installed by attendees are tested for AC withstand and partial discharge. Depending on the results of these a certificate will be awarded.

An Endorsement

Garry Hardaker recently successfully achieved 33kV Jointer Competency & Certification according to Nexan’s Module 2 Medium Voltage Termination & Separable Connectors Training Course – Garry has a proven track record of delivering high-quality services specialising in delivering full wind turbine installations, servicing, and maintenance, in both onshore and offshore locations. Garys kindly provides the following customer experience comments.

“Having accumulated several years experience carrying out onshore cable terminations at 11kV/33kV into switchrooms and transformers I applied for and following careful vetting by Nexans was accepted onto their Jointer Training Course – the Training Managers at Nexans demonstrated exceptional knowledge and experience providing clear answers to all questions regarding practical and theoretical queries during the jointer training course. Previous courses have over-promised and under-delivered and prospective attendees should consider with care their choice of training provider. I would not hesitate to recommend Nexans as a provider of 11/33/66kV Jointer Training – contact Thorne & Derrick for further information about course content, duration and availability”.

ENA-TS 12-23

ENA-TS 12-23

UK DNO’s and electricity utilities have generally adopted Energy Network Association Technical Specification ENA-TS 12-23 to document their technical requirements for cable protection tiles and cable covers used to protect MV HV cables operating at 11kV, 33kV, 66kV and up to 132kV.

Centriforce Tapetile and Stokbord underground cable protection tiles and covers are the market leading, heavy duty utility protection system for protecting underground cable and pipes – this includes low voltage, medium voltage and high voltage power networks working at 11kV and 33kV.

Thorne & Derrick stock and supply the most extensive range of Centriforce Cable Protection products from stock for delivery throughout the UK to most UK DNO specifications and printing preferences in both Tapetile and Stokbord ranges – typically the print legend includes the name of the DNO.

Tapetile cable protection tiles and Stokbord cable covers provide clear visual warning of underground utility services – the cable protection products are made up of a printed warning laminated to the surface of the base material. The products are designed to comply with Energy Network Association Technical Specification (ENA-TS) 12-23, Issue 3 2013.

➡ Watch the following Video to understand the installation procedure for Stokbord cable protection covers:

Cable Covers & Cable Tiles ENA-TS 12-23 | Stokbord & Tapetile

Tapetile Cable Protection Tape

The Tapetile protection tape product is intended primarily to, during excavation work, give a clear visual warning to persons carrying out excavations and other utilities of the presence of underground cables, cable joints or cable ducts.

The Tapetile is manufactured from reconstituted low or medium density polyethylene or a similar material, which is rot-proof and resistant to a wide variety of virgin and tipped soil conditions – the print legend includes a yellow background and black lettering on a red/brown base. Due to the variation in excavated cable trenches the Tile Tape product is available in a range of widths: 150mm, 200mm, 250mm and 600mm.

Stokbord Cable Protection Covers

The Stokbord protection tile product is intended primarily primarily to, during excavation work, give a clear visual warning to persons carrying out excavations and other utilities of the presence of underground cables, cable joints or cable ducts.

Stokbord complies with the impact resistance test requirements to Class 2 as defined in Section 12.2 of ENA-TS 12-23 – to allow interconnection of the cable covers: located 25mm from each end of the cover along its centre line, each cover features a pre-drilled 12mm hole. A suitable peg or cable tie is provided to enable covers to be connected together.

Centriforce Benefits

Stokbord and Tapetile heavy duty plastic underground cable covers have virtually replaced concrete cable covers, tiles and plates for several reasons.

• Clearest warning of underground buried cables to third parties
• Can be custom made with sizes to suit specific utility cable protection
• Contains bold warning text and UK DNO logo for clear cable identification
• Damage to cables less likely therefore reducing the cost of repairs, jointing and outages
• Lightweight and easy to install irrespective of weather and soil conditions
• Durable with good impact resistance
• Rotproof and resistant to wide range of soil conditions

➡ Here Stokbord covers are shown providing protection to 132kV high voltage power cables in an underground cable trench.
