Abstract:
A high voltage cable termination comprising:a cable having: a first cable end; a plurality of conductors contained in a first insulating material; a semiconductive layer wrapped around at least a portion of said insulating material; a braided shield woven around said semiconductive layer; and, a cable jacket encapsulating around said braided shield; wherein said cable jacket is stripped back from said first cable end exposing a portion of said braided shield, said semiconductive layer, and said plurality of conductors; said braided shield is stripped back from said first cable end exposing a portion of said semiconductive layer; said semiconductive layer is stripped back from said first cable end exposing a portion of said first insulating material; and, said first insulating material stripped back exposing at least a portion of said conductors; an inner ferrule having an opening extending entirely therethrough, a flanged portion, and a sleeve portion, said inner ferrule slipped over said cable so that said flanged portion is proximate to said first cable end, wherein said conductors extend through said opening, said semiconductive layer extends at least partially through said opening, and said braided shield extends over the outside surface of said sleeve portion of said inner ferrule; an outer ferrule inserted over said sleeve portion of said inner ferrule and crimped thereto, thus pinching said braided shield and a portion of said cable jacket between the inside surface of said outer ferrule, and the outside surface of said inner ferrule; a pin secured to the end of each of said plurality of conductors; and, a second insulating material applied to the exposed portion of said plurality of conductors, said second insulating material forming an overmold extending up to said flanged portion of said inner ferrule.
