Pfisterer EST SUB
Self Supporting Cable Termination
Pfisterer oil-free and gas-free cable terminations for high voltage cables are environmentally friendly and reduce installation times by the HV Jointer – the cable terminations are available for voltage levels ranging from 52kV to 170kV and conductor cross-sections up to 2500sqmm.
The self-supporting Pfisterer EST design replaces conventional oil-filled and gas-filled outdoor cable terminations both in overhead line towers and transformer stations – the cleverly designed head fitting allows for any thermal expansion in the conductor.
The mounting frame on overhead line towers is now no longer needed since the cable termination can be installed onto the HV cable on the ground and then lifted onto the tower – this leads to very short turn-off periods of the overhead lines.
Pfisterer IXOSIL EST SUB Advantages
- Oil- and gas-free
- Leak-proof
- Compensation of cantilever forces
- Enables installation on the ground, no mounting frames required
- Time savings of up to 50% during cable preparation due to new technology
- 100% electrically routine-tested termination
- Low weight cable termination

Pfisterer MV HV cable plugs and terminations are suitable for all voltage levels and applications where medium or high voltage power must be reliably distributed within the electricity supply industry.

Cable Terminations
Raychem cable terminations using heat shrink technology can operate under severe environmental conditions for connecting and terminating MV HV cables in both indoor and outdoor applications.
Polymeric insulated cables of various designs and cross sections can be adopted with respect to shielding and metal sheath. Composite housings with different creepage lengths up to 50 mm/kV are available for the most common and also extreme pollution levels according to IEC 60071-1 and IEC 60071-2.
Brugg cable stripping tools were used by the cable jointer to strip tand prepare the single core high voltage 2500sqmm XLPE insulated cables.

High voltage products help enhance the safety, reliability and efficiency of power networks while minimising environmental impact in applications such as substations, power transmission, enabling smart grid and enhancing eco-efficiency.
Operating and maintaining high voltage systems requires experienced operatives with specialist skills.
CBI Electric African Cables
Since 1935, African Cables, now CBI-electric: African Cables designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of MV HV electric power cables at its Vereeniging factory.
CBI-electric: African Cables is the only cable manufacturer in Southern Africa to supply a range that meets any user requirement, irrespective of load. Included in this manufactured range are low voltage PVC/XLPE insulated cable; medium voltage XLPE; paper-insulated cable, aerial Bundled Conductor (ABC), ACSR and high voltage XLPE insulated cable.
