Abstract:
A cable joint between two relatively high voltage electric power cables (10, 20), each cable having a conductor (15, 25) surrounded by, successively, a core insulation (14, 24), a semi-conductor screen (13, 23), a wired-screen (12, 22) and an outer cable sheath (11, 21),said cable joint comprising, successively from an innermost to an outer side: a junction connector adapted for connecting together bared ends of said conductors; a semi-conductive layer adapted for covering said junction connector and ends of said core insulations, but separated from the semi-conductive screens of the two cables; an insulating layer adapted for covering said semi-conductive layer and bared ends of said core insulations; a conductive layer (9) adapted for covering said insulating layer; bared ends of conductive wire of said wired-screens; and an insulating joint cover (3) adapted for covering said cable joint including ends of the outer cable sheaths of the two cables, characterized in that the bared ends of said conductive wires (12, 22) are substantially equally distributed over the circumference of the conductive layer (9), a conductive metal plate (30) adapted for covering the ends of said conductive wires is provided between said conductive layer and said joint-cover (3), and said joint-cover is made of retracted cold shrinkable insulating material.
