11 kV Cable Termination
An 11 kV cable termination is not just about connecting a cable and it is an essential electrical activity where correct preparation, stress control, insulation integrity and safety procedures directly influence system reliability.
Key steps include:
• Proper isolation and LOTO
• Proving the cable dead with an approved HV detector
• Discharging and applying protective earthing
• Correct cable preparation as per the termination-kit manufacturer
• Proper installation of stress-control components
• Correct lug crimping and torque verification
• Earth-screen connection and phase identification
• Required pre-commissioning tests and final inspection
• Safe and authorized energization
Appropriate electrical PPE, approved procedures, risk assessment and competent personnel are essential throughout the activity.
