Power Cable Accessories

Termination for polymeric insulated Filter Cables up to 150 kV D.C.
Cable
The termination is designed for screened
single core polymeric insulated cables
with wire shield or metal sheath, cross
section from 35 mm 2 to 95 mm 2 and
diameter over insulation between 26 mm
and 45 mm. Cables designed for A.C.
voltages 72,5, 111 or 150 kV usually meet
the dimensional requirements.

Design of termination
The cable is prepared in the same simple
and easy way as for Raychem medium
voltage terminations without sanding or
pencilling. Based on the design of
Raychem high voltage terminations, the
filter cable termination consists of a
staggered layer of stress control tubings
and patches. A heat-shrinkable nontracking
insulation tubing and shed are

shrunk over the stress control system and
ensure a reliable seal to the lug and the
oversheath. A mechanical lug covering
cross sections from 35 mm 2 to 95 mm 2 is
supplied with the kit. The mechanical lug
has a M10 thread on the top for easy
connection to connecting busbars.
The termination is supplied as a single
phase termination. A solderless earth
connection for cables with metal sheath is
included in the termination kit.
Testing and performance
Neither national nor international
specification exist for filter cable
terminations. By understanding the
specific operation requirements of a filter
cable termination, Raychem developed a
test specification and qualified the filter
cable termination FCEV to these
requirements. The overview of
qualification tests is summarized in a
table below.
