  • Publication number: 20230402824
    Abstract: A cable end sealing arrangement for a first cable and a method for connecting a metallic sheath of a first cable end of a first cable to a metallic casing of a cable end sealing arrangement. The cable end sealing arrangement includes a metallic casing, a cable entrance and a first cable end of the first cable inserted into the cable entrance, the cable end including layers of cable material including a metallic sheath, wherein in an entry section of the metallic casing, an end of the metallic sheath is separated from the other layers of the first cable material and is in pressurized contact with the metallic casing in an area of overlap between the casing and the metallic sheath.

  • Patent number: 9912140
    Abstract: A power cable termination device for a high voltage direct current gas-insulated switchgear including: an outer housing made of an electrically conducting material, connectable to the switchgear; a terminal portion of a power cable, the power cable including an electrical conductor, a circumferential electrically insulating layer, and a circumferential conductive shield which is stripped off along a first part of the power cable; an electric field grading system including a resistive field grading material layer arranged circumferentially around the power cable to axially cover the edge of the conductive shield where the conductive shield is terminated, the resistive field grading material layer being in electrical contact therewith, and a connection device connectable to the gas-insulated switchgear and arranged to provide mechanical support and electrical contact with the gas-insulated switchgear.

  • Patent number: 9482715
    Abstract: A method for determining conductivity of cable insulation of a cable including at least one conductor that determines the central axis of the cable and insulation layer surrounding the conductor longitudinally and radially includes steps of retrieving a cable sample from a cable, which sample includes a length of at least one insulation layer and preparing an insulation sample from the cable sample. The insulation sample is prepared from cable sample by cutting a circular layer having a set thickness at desired radius from the central axis of the cable.
