Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of subsea connectors allowing in situ repair of damaged subsea electrical cables used for heating subsea pipelines. Said connector (18) comprises electrical connection means (1), insulating means (5) surrounding said electrical connection means (1) and sealing means (11, 12) for preventing surrounding liquid such as sea water from coming into contact with said electrical connection means (1) in order to ensure watertightness. Said insulating means (5) are made of a wall disposed around said electrical connection means (1) so as to define a chamber (19) suitable for receiving at least one electrical cable end (20).

Abstract: The present invention relates to method for making a joint between two polymer insulated power cables (3,4) including the steps of jointing the two bare cable conductors (1,2) and placing a heat sink device over the joint. The method includes injection molding a sheath (9) of semiconducting polymer material over the conductor joint (5) in fully bonded/welded contact (12,13) with the polymer insulation on the two cable ends (3,4) to prevent shrinkback of the insulation and to provide the heatsink.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for making a cable joint between two polymer insulated power cables (1,2) including the steps of jointing the two bare cable conductors. (3,4) and placing a heat sink device (6) over the joint The method includes preheating the heat sink device which per se consists of a longitudinally split metal sleeve (7,8) with inner side ridges (9,10,11,12) and pressing the hot heat sink ridges into the polymer insulation (13,14) on both sides of the joint to anchor the polymer insulation to the heat sink (6).

Abstract: The present invention aims to obtain a simplified connection system for high voltage power cables having ratings up to 400 KV and above. There is obtained a common cable connection system for all accessories and interconnection. The connection system uses a generally applicable interface (4, 5, 6; 13, 14, 15; 30, 40) for interconnection with a number of different apparatus and includes a cable termination (30) consisting of an elastomeric body (36), integrated therein a stress relief device (34), a connector shield (35), an insulation having a conical interface surface (37) and an outer conductive screen (39) and a rigid insulator (41) having a conical interface surface (42) corresponding to the interface surface (37) of the cable termination (30).
