The introduction of high electrical stress EPR insulated medium voltage cables leads to the development of new cable joints suitable for installation. This paper presents the joint design considerations and test data. The test program is based on IEEE Standard 404-1993. Test samples include joints for high stress EPR cables and transition joints from high stress EPR cables to PILC cables. All test results have shown that both joint designs comply with the IEEE standard and suitable for operation in cable network systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
