Cable Sheath Protection Grounding Box for High-Voltage Cable Systems (35–220kV)

Overview

The Cable Sheath Protection Grounding Box is specifically designed for 35–220 kV high-voltage cable systems. It is used for direct grounding and cross-bonding connection of three-phase cable metal sheaths, effectively protecting the outer sheath insulation from overvoltage damage and significantly improving the operational reliability of power cable lines.

This product accommodates grounding cable conductor cross-sections ranging from 120 mm² to 400 mm². Suitable for both outdoor installation and cable trench applications, it adapts well to a variety of high-voltage cable routing environments, including:

  • Urban underground cable networks

  • Substation outgoing sections

  • Mountainous transmission corridors


Key Features

FeatureDescription
Reliable Cable Sheath ProtectionConnects and protects the metal sheath of high-voltage cables, reducing the risk of sheath overvoltage damage during switching, lightning strikes, or fault conditions.
Supports Cross-Bonding and Direct GroundingSupports both cross-bonding interconnection and direct grounding of three-phase cable metal sheaths, optimizing sheath current distribution and reducing circulating currents.
Durable Structural DesignWelded high-grade stainless steel enclosure ensures long-term durability in corrosive or humid environments. Insulating components are moisture-resistant.
High-Conductivity Copper Grounding ConnectionGrounding busbar and terminals made of high-conductivity copper (tin-plated option available for enhanced corrosion resistance) ensure stable grounding performance and low contact resistance.
Easy Installation and MaintenanceBolt-connected internal assemblies allow easy disconnection for testing or fault diagnosis. Front cover opens without special tools for routine inspection.

Working Principle

The core component of the grounding box is the cable sheath protector, which consists of oxidation-resistant nonlinear resistance elements (typically zinc oxide varistors).

  • Under normal operating conditions: The resistance element remains in a high-resistance state, effectively isolating the sheath from ground for cross-bonded sections.

  • During overvoltage events (lightning strikes or switching surges): The resistance element rapidly switches to a low-resistance state, clamping the voltage across the protector within a safe range.

This mechanism helps effectively protect the outer sheath insulation of the cable, preventing damage caused by overvoltage and extending the service life of the high-voltage cable system.
