Abstract:
A 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 relatively high permittivity conformable stress control material in contact with a cut end of the cable shield and extending along the cable insulation; a second region of relatively high permittivity conformable stress control material disposed in contact with a cut end of the cable insulation; and a polymeric electrically insulating layer extending 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 relatively high permittivity conformable stress control material.
