Introduction to Cable Jointing and Installation Practices

Description

Our “Introduction to Cable Jointing and Installation Practices” is a one day program designed to help industry to understand how to implement measures and controls to prevent costly faults before they happen and what happens when the fault occurs. This course will explore the basics of UG cable systems, the components of cable jointing Kits, electrical stress caused by MV conductors and why/how it is controlled, cable sheath bonding methods, cable failure causes and consequences, cable jointing preparation and workmanship, cable testing and documentation. The Course has been developed by Subject Matter Experts from Thomson Bridge and global cable solutions provider, NKT. It draws on practical infrastructure project experience across the world.

The program cover bests practice to deliver a higher level of awareness of what conditions and workmanship are necessary to ensure quality and longevity, including:

What do we need to know to ensure a good quality outcome
What is good quality workmanship
What is good site preparation, management and planning
