High Voltage Terminations

COURSE DESCRIPTION

High-voltage cables are manufactured to exact specifications so that they can withstand a variety of mechanical and electrical stresses.  When a high-voltage cable is terminated for a connection to a circuit or equipment in a substation or switchyard, the termination must also be made to exact specifications.  If this is not done, the termination could become a weak point in the circuit.

COURSE GOAL

  • This program describes the components of high voltage terminations and demonstrates how high voltage terminations are made.

SUBJECTS AND OBJECTIVES

Cable Construction

  • Describe how voltage stress can cause a cable to fail.

  • Identify the main components of a high-voltage cable.

  • Describe the function of each component of a high-voltage cable.

Principles of Cable Termination

  • Explain how a high voltage termination provides voltage stress control

  • Explain how a high voltage termination provides protection against tracking.

  • Explain how a high voltage termination provides a seal to the environment
