Medium Voltage Heat Shrink Cable Terminations for Shielded Power Cables

5 0 Reviews
Heat shrink cable terminations for shielded medium voltage power cables, designed for 3.6/6kV to 26/35kV systems. Available in single-core and three-core configurations, for indoor and outdoor installation. Each kit includes stress control tubing, insulation tubing, sealing tubing, conductive filler, ground lead, and terminal lug. Suitable for XLPE, EPR, and PILC cables with copper tape, copper wire, or lead sheath. The termination provides a continuous shield, moisture seal, and electrical stress relief at the cable end.

Typical service conditions: continuous conductor temperature 90°C, emergency 130°C, short-circuit 250°C. Installation ambient temperature above -10°C. Store kits in dry, ventilated area below 35°C, away from direct sunlight.

How to Select the Right Termination

  1. Voltage rating (U₀/U): Match to the cable’s rated voltage. For 10kV system, use 6/10kV or 8.7/15kV kit depending on grounding. For 35kV system, use 26/35kV kit.

  2. Number of cores: Single-core or three-core. Three-core kits include separate tubes for each core and a breakout boot.

  3. Cable insulation outer diameter: This is the critical dimension. Measure the diameter over the insulation screen (excluding semi-conductive layer). Select kit whose diameter range covers your cable. If the cable diameter falls between two kit sizes, choose the larger and use additional sealing tape.

  4. Shield structure: Copper tape, copper wire, or lead sheath. Kits include appropriate ground lead and constant-force spring for shield connection. For lead sheath, use a lead sleeve and solder.

  5. Indoor or outdoor: Outdoor kits include anti-tracking tubing and larger creepage distance. Indoor kits are shorter. Both use the same stress control principle.

  6. Cable conductor cross-section: Determines the terminal lug size. Kits typically include lugs for a range of cross-sections. Specify conductor material (copper or aluminium) and lug type (compression, bolted, or mechanical).

  7. Installation environment: For highly polluted areas, select outdoor kit with extended creepage. For high altitude, derate voltage. For seismic zones, use flexible connections.

Installation Steps (Heat Shrink)

  1. Prepare cable: Cut cable to length, strip outer sheath, armour, and bedding. Leave sufficient length for termination. Remove insulation screen to expose insulation. Bevel semi-conductive layer.

  2. Install ground lead: Connect ground lead to copper shield using constant-force spring. For three-core, connect each core shield and armour. Solder or crimp.

  3. Apply stress control tubing: Clean insulation surface. Slide stress control tube over insulation screen cut-back. Heat evenly from centre outward until recovered.

  4. Apply insulation tubing: Slide insulation tube over stress control tube. Heat shrink from bottom to top to avoid air pockets.

  5. Apply sealing tubing: For outdoor, slide anti-tracking tube over insulation tube. Heat shrink. For indoor, use sealing tube at the top.

  6. Install terminal lug: Crimp or bolt lug to conductor. Cover lug barrel with sealing tube and heat shrink.

  7. Seal and finish: Apply conductive filler at the screen cut-off if required. Ensure all tubes are fully recovered and no voids. Test insulation resistance.

Always follow the specific kit instruction manual provided with each termination.

Applications

  • Medium voltage switchgear and ring main units

  • Distribution transformers and package substations

  • Cable branch boxes and feeder pillars

  • Indoor substations and outdoor poles

  • Renewable energy collection systems (solar, wind)

  • Industrial plant power distribution

  • Retrofit and repair of existing PILC or XLPE cables

Typical project references: 10kV three-core XLPE cable terminations for a 2MW solar farm in Spain; 35kV single-core terminations for a steel plant in Turkey; 20kV three-core indoor terminations for a data centre in Germany.



Why Choose Heat Shrink Cable Terminations?

  • ✅ Cost-effective – lower material and installation cost than cold shrink

  • ✅ Wide temperature range – –55°C to +125°C, suitable for extreme environments

  • ✅ High dielectric strength – ≥ 20 kV/mm

  • ✅ Flame retardant – self-extinguishing (IEC 60332-1)

  • ✅ UV and weather resistant – suitable for outdoor use (with weather sheds)

  • ✅ 30+ year service life – proven long-term reliability

  • ✅ Compatible with LV, MV, and HV cables – up to 35 kV
