COURSE OVERVIEW

 

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises where participants carryout HV/MV cable jointing, termination, splicing and testing. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using the latest heat-shrink jointing and termination methods suitable for in-class training. 

 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of MV Cable Splicing, Jointing and Termination (Up to 35kV). It covers the purpose, applications and different types of MV cables; the cable construction, design, electrical properties, cable faults and failure mechanisms of MV cables; the safety protocols for working on live and de-energized systems; the proper cable splicing, jointing and termination; the cable preparation techniques covering cutting and stripping MV cables; cleaning and preparing insulation layers, handling shielding and semiconductive layers and ensuring precise measurements; the splicing methods and techniques and stress control in splicing; and inspecting and testing splices, identifying typical splicing errors and proper troubleshooting. 

 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the purpose of cable joints in MV systems; the types of joints, selection criteria for joint kits and materials and key consideration for high-reliability joints; the straight-through jointing techniques, branch and transition joints, advanced joints techniques and cable joints testing; the purpose, types and key components of terminations; the importance of maintaining dielectric strength; cleaning and preparing cables for termination; removing insulation and semiconductive layers; and ensuring proper alignment and orientation. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the heat shrink, cold shrink and plug-in terminations and advanced techniques for MV cables; testing splices, joints and terminations; identifying cable faults using diagnostic tools and reporting and interpreting test results; the quality assurance in MV cable installations and routine maintenance checks; and diagnosing and repairing common issues and upgrading or replacing aging installation.
