Thorne & Derrick distribute HV Cable Terminations & Connectors to suit single and 3 core medium/high voltage cables with XLPE, EPR or PILC insulation operating up to 33kV – UK DNO approved equipment from manufacturers including Nexans Euromold, 3M Cold Shrink and Pfisterer CONNEX for cable termination connections into air, oil or gas insulated switchgear, transformers and cable end-boxes are available from stock.
33kV cable terminations are complete with components including screen earth kit (copper taped screen cables), screen wire earth lugs (copper wire screened cables) cable glands (bolt-on, compression or heat shrink type for armoured/non-armoured cables), insulating bushing boots and either 33kV crimp lugs or mechanical shearbolt cable lugs.
Outdoor cable terminations are available to terminate and connect 33kV cables onto medium or high voltage electrical equipment including pole-top mounted brackets for overhead line distribution networks.
ABB SafePlus is a compact, metal enclosed SF6-insulated medium voltage (MV) switchgear system for secondary distribution applications up to 33kV/36kV. The switchgear has a unique flexibility due to its extendability and the possible combination of fully modular and semi-modular configurations of medium voltage electrical equipment.
Typical applications for ABB SafePlus Medium Voltage switchgear include: compact secondary substations (CSS), light industry, wind and solar farms, buildings, generation, mining, airports and railways.
SafePlus medium/high voltage switchgear is equipped with cable bushings outer or outside cone type which comply with CENELEC EN 50181 Interface B (400 Series Plug-in) or Interface C (400 Series Bolted).
Cable terminations of the following types are recommended: Euromold / Elastimold, Tyco Electronics, nkt-cables, Prysmian, Südkabel or ABB Kabeldon.
In the following site photograph from a wind farm project the 33kV power cable to BS7870/4.1 specification has been connected into the SF6 gas insulated switchgear with Interface C type bushings using screened separable connectors.
Low Voltage (LV) and Medium Voltage (MV) polymeric insulated cables manufactured in accordance with British Standard BS7870 for use by distribution and generation utilities – covering LV and HV cables for the provision of an electricity supply from a distribution main. This British Standard applies to concentric, split concentric cables and power cables for fixed installations up to and including 33kV.
Thorne & Derrick distribute HV Cable Terminations for 6.6kV 11kV 33kV high voltage cables – we also provide competitive prices for indoor and outdoor heat shrink terminations for HV cables from extensive stocks to UK and international destinations.
