Abstract
The use of compression and soldering methods for applying pothead connectors to aluminum cable conductors has not been widely accepted. This paper describes the development of a simple technique by which an aluminum pothead connector was applied to 3000-kcmil, 15-kV, PILC, single-core (1/c) segmental aluminum cable by the metal inert gas (MIG) arc-welding process. The problems encountered in the development and their solutions are recorded and the welding operation is fully described.
