COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions and exercises where participants carryout HV 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 Wire and Cable Systems. It covers the purpose and applications of wire and cable systems in electrical systems including voltage classifications and industry codes and standards; the types of wires and cables, cable construction and components; the electrical properties of cables and standards and specifications; the cable selection criteria, cable sizing calculations and cable derating and ampacity; and the cable routing and layout design, cable tray, conduit systems and cable pulling techniques. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the cable termination types covering LV terminations, MV, HV terminations, crimping versus bolted terminations, and phase identification and insulation sealing; the cable jointing and splicing, cable glanding and sealing and grounding and bonding of cable systems; the pre-installation cable testing, post-installation electrical testing, cable fault finding techniques and commissioning procedures; avoiding the common installation issues covering overbending and exceeding pull tensions, improper gland or shield termination, wrong sizing or material selection and improper segregation of power and control. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the specialized cable applications and cable system maintenance; the cable aging, degradation and replacement; the cable schedules and tagging, as-built drawings and routing diagrams, asset tracking via barcodes or RFID and cable data sheets and vendor specs; the lockout, tagout procedures, arc flash awareness and PPE; and working near live circuits and safe cable pulling and termination practices.
