Cable Joint Installation Instructions

Sicame SBJ3/UPN

For details of cable preparation, the installation of mechanical connectors and associated components refer to the relevant sections of the UK Power Networks LV Jointing Manual opposite.

All dimensions in millimetres (mm).

Prepare the service cable using the plastic joint shell as a guide.
Remember to install a temporary continuity bond before removing the lead sheath.
When the cable is ready to be put back together, connect the earth braid to lead sheath each end of the joint using the mechanical earth bond kits.
Use the NE26 neutral earth connector to connect together the neutral conductor of the PILC service cable and the earth braid for the neutral to lead sheath bond.
Use additional copper wires of equivalent size and an additional NE26 connector to bridge any gap between the ends of the neutral conductor.
Insulate the connector with the CR sheet patch.
Reconnect the two halves of the phase conductor using a MF4/28i connector.
Apply the moisture barrier mastic tape to the lead sheath next to the mechanical earth bonds.
Fit the cable joint shell, checking for a minimum clearance of 10mm between the joint shell and the completed cable joint
Fill the cable joint shell with the correct amount of Prysmian JEM resin as shown in the table below
