Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an electric cable joint, the method comprising: providing a first electric cable and a second electric cable, each cable comprising an electric conductor and a thermoplastic insulation system surrounding the electric conductor, the thermoplastic insulation system comprising an inner thermoplastic semiconducting layer, a thermoplastic insulating layer and an outer thermoplastic semiconducting layer; joining respective terminal portions of the electric conductors of the first electric cable and of a second electric cable placed axially adjacent to the first electric cable, to form an electric conductor joint; surrounding the electric conductor joint with a joint inner layer of a first thermoplastic semiconducting material having a first dynamic storage modulus; surrounding the joint inner layer of a first thermoplastic semiconducting material with a joint insulating layer of a thermoplastic insulating material having a second dynamic storage modulus; and surrounding the joint insulating layer of thermoplastic insulating material with a joint outer layer of a second thermoplastic semiconducting material having a third dynamic storage modulus. The first dynamic storage modulus of the first thermoplastic semiconducting material of the joint inner layer is greater than the second dynamic storage modulus of the thermoplastic insulating material of the joint insulating layer, the dynamic storage moduli being measured at a substantially same measurement temperature of at least 130° C.

Claim (Index 9):
The joint ( 300 ) according to  claim 8 , wherein the second dynamic storage modulus (E\u2032 2 ) of the thermoplastic insulating material of the layer ( 60 ) is equal to or greater than the dynamic storage modulus (E\u2032 3 ) of the second thermoplastic semiconducting material of the joint outer layer ( 70 ).
