  • Publication number: 20230111135
    Abstract: A joint assembly for two high voltage submarine cables (20, 30) of wet or semi wet design includes a water permeable enclosure (10) for receiving the two cables (20, 30) at opposite ends (16, 17) of the enclosure, and at least one joint unit (40, 50, 60) within said enclosure. Each joint unit connects corresponding phase conductors of each of the two cables (20, 30). A method of joining two three-phase high voltage submarine cables (20, 30) and a wet design electrical subsea pre-molded joint (100).

  • Patent number: 11404800
    Abstract: A conductor joint (1) is provided for connecting two conductors along a longitudinal direction. The conductor joint comprises a first segment having a first segment end (202) adapted connecting to an end portion of a first conductor and a second segment (300) comprising a second segment end (302) relative to the longitudinal direction adapted for receiving a second conductor end of a second conductor. The second segment further has an opposite second segment end (304) fixed, or forming an integral part with, an opposite first segment end (204) of the first segment (200), a tubular sleeve (310) and a core rod (320) wherein ends (310a, 320a) of the tubular sleeve (310) and the core rod (320) are arranged with a radial offset forming a sleeve opening for receiving at the end portion of the second conductor end of the second conductor.

  • Publication number: 20220013928
    Abstract: A cable assembly (100) is provided having a first cable (20) having a first conductor (22), a second cable (40) having a second conductor (42) and an electrically conducting joining element (60). The joining element (60) comprises a first threaded end section (61) and a second threaded end section (62) opposite of the first end section (61. The first threaded end section (61) is connected to the first conductor (22). The second threaded end section (62) is connected to the second conductor (42). The present invention also relates to a method for joining a first cable (20) having a first conductor (22) and a second cable (40) having a second conductor (42).

  • Publication number: 20210383949
    Abstract: A submarine power cable is provided having stranded conductor(s) and an insulation system, each individual stranded conductor, at given intervals, being compressed across an area to form a plurality of watertight partitions along a length of the of the submarine power cable. A method provides a plurality of watertight partitions along a length of the submarine power cable. The method includes, at a given point, arranging a compression tool around an outer circumference of the stranded conductor, using the compression tool to compress the stranded conductor, releasing the compression tool from the stranded conductor, and repeating the compression at a number of different points and using the compression tool to compress the stranded conductor at each of these points, thereby forming a plurality of watertight partitions along the length of the submarine power cable.
