Abstract :
For pt.II see ibid., vol.7, no.3, p.16 (1991). Heat-shrinkable accessories for shielded power cable, including details of the necessary components for reliable terminations and joints, are described. The key functions of terminations are outlined, and the requirements for stress control, external leakage insulation, and environmental sealing and how they are met and examined. A similar discussion for joints focuses on control of the electric field, connector insulation and restoration of the shield, environmental sealing, and oil-barrier components. Applications of the joints and terminations, performance requirements and standards, and cable accessory enhancements are discussed.<>
