Introduction
The purpose of power cables is for the efficient transportation and distribution of electrical energy, Transportation and distribution must be done with a high degree of reliability and safety over very long periods. The range of voltage and capacity of power transmitted through cables is showing a steady increase over the years. Environmental concerns, aesthetic issues, lack of transmission corridors, and difficulty in routing overhead lines in crowded human habitats are some of the reasons for the explosive growth of cable technology well into the extra-high-voltage range.
Cable terminations and joints form the weakest link in any distribution system. Also, a failed joint in an underground distribution system is much more difficult to locate and repair compared to any similar problem in overhead distribution systems. This means that we should do our utmost to achieve a good joint or termination, which can give years of trouble-free service.
Our main objective is to increase the level of knowledge and skills abilities of participates as well as to transfer our knowledge to attendees to be able to use international and nationally recognized experts in the field power cable maintenance as well as jointing and termination.
Objectives
- The function of cables in a power system
- Construction of electrical power cables
- Classification of power cables
- Manufacturing aspects of power cables
- The basic principles of cable jointing and terminations.
- Different methods/technologies of cable terminations and jointing
- Importance of stress control and methods of stress redistribution in joints and terminations.
- Importance installation aspects in cable joints and terminations.
- Failures, failure analysis, and failure prediction.
- International and national standards applicable.
- Apply skills in the use of various types of hand, power, and special tools in cable jointing and termination.
- Apply skills in checking the comparability and suitability of the joint/termination kit
- Identify and utilize various types of materials used in cable jointing and termination.
- Apply standard safety rules and regulations.
- Apply skills pertaining to installation of MV/ HV cable joints and terminations
- Apply basic concepts of cables testing before and after jointing/terminating.
To provide participants with practical techniques and concepts in cable jointing and termination, the course aims at providing the participants with key concepts that will enable them to operate with confidence in a highly changing world in all sectors of the industry. Participants will have the first-hand experience of new concepts.
This course is designed to enable participants to understand and practice the following:
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the certified training program, course participants shall be able to:
Training Methodology
This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.
Who Should Attend?
Engineers and Technicians from Electrical Power Transmission and Distribution Utilities Companies, supervisors and site engineers of the contractors of infrastructure design and installation of power cables distributors.
