Abstract:
An elastically recoverable termination for an electrical power cable including an inner conductor, electrical insulation surrounding the conductor and a semi-conductive shield surrounding the insulation, wherein the shield is removed to a predetermined length and the insulation is removed to a lesser predetermined length to expose the conductor, the termination comprising:a first region of non-tacky conformable stress control material for contact with a cut end of the cable shield and extending along the cable insulation;a second region of non-tacky conformable stress control material to be disposed in contact with a cut end of the cable insulation; anda polymeric electrically insulating layer extending the entire length from a first end of the termination to a second end of the termination, the electrically insulating layer disposed over said first and second regions of stress control material;wherein the non-tacky stress control material comprisesa) 100 parts of a resin component containing1) from 20% to 80% of an epihalohydrin polymer, and2) correspondingly, from 80% to 20% of an insulating silicone polymer having a tan .delta. of less than one,b) from 10 to 200 parts of a filler, said filler being nonconductive at room temperature, selected from the group consisting of barium titanate and hydrated aluminum silicate, andc) from 0 to 30 parts of a plasticizer.
