JTS cable joints provide the most cost-competitive option to power contractors.The cable joints, manufactured by Nexans, are tested in accordance to CENELEC HD629.1.

 

The internationally recognised quality standard ensures power system reliability and outage reductions when installed in accordance with the manufacturers instructions by Competent cable jointers.

11kV Cable Joints

The Triple Wall design of the JTS Joint reduces installation times with corresponding labour savings.

 

The triple extruded heat shrink tube with integrated stress control provides compact installation with reduced components and excellent water sealing for direct burial into underground cable trench.

 

Mechanical connectors are included for fast jointing of conductors without resort to hydraulic crimping tools and associated die sets.

"I woke recently and toyed with the idea of career change. One Costa later I just went for it.

 

So I Google searched 'cable jointer training'.

 

I booked that 4 day course, turned up, collected my certificate – I am now a Cable Jointer.

 

With paperwork to prove it.

 

Easy-peasy.

 

OK, this is a personal fiction but a common occurrence in the UK jobs market."

Date: 2002

Location: New Orleans USA

Jointing by: Campbell White Power Solutions

 

This project for New Orleans and Wilson Construction involved a 2500sqmm enamel stranded conductor work that required a rare skill set. Each stranded conductor has to be individually bead blasted and prepped for jointing - the cable circuit spanned the Mississippi River and was one of the few power components that survived Hurricane Katrina.

 

Campbell White are called upon globally for critical installs and repairs.
