Cable Joint Installation Instructions

Sicame SSJ4/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).

  • Set the cables into their final jointing position and strip the cables using the plastic joint shell as a guide
  • Position a temporary core shroud over the ‘live’ cable core
  • Set the cores ready for connection.
  • Use the MF4/28i neutral earth connector to connect together the bunch of neutral earth wires from the plastic service cable, the neutral conductor of the PILC service cable and the earth braid for the neutral to the lead sheath bond.
  • Insulate the connector with the CR sheet patch.
  • Connect the earth braid to the lead sheath using the mechanical earth bond kit, as shown on drawing UPNJI/32.
  • Use the MF4/28i connector to connect the 2 phase conductors together.
  • Apply the moisture barrier mastic tape to the lead sheath next to the mechanical earth bond
  • 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
