Cable joints


All 3 cable joints were staggered and then crimped to their corresponding colour coded ends. These crimped areas were also covered in heat shrink sleaving to ensure isolation from one another.
The armoured outer sheathing of the cable was also crimped.
The complete joined area was then covered in a hard protective shell and filled with resin. Curing time was around 2hours.
Testing of the cable joint was done using a megger @ 500v.
