Straight joints form an integral part of today’;s power cable networks. M-Seal Heat shrink (HS) Straight Joints offer reliability and flexibility to meet the demands of cable network operators. The joints are available for up to 36kV. MSeal HS kits provide a lightweight, compact, and environmentally sealed system for splicing extruded dielectric shielded power cables. These features allow the installation of the jointing system in ducts, vaults and direct-burial applications. The joints comprise of heat shrinkable materials which are fast and simple to install. The insulating, screening and electrical field control layers of the joints are made of heat shrinkable cross linked polymeric materials with precisely defined electro mechanical characteristics. The kit has field control material to control electrical stresses over the connectors and at the shield cutbacks. Insulating tubing and semi conducting tubing re-insulate and re-shield the areas over the spliced conductors. Tinned copper mesh and braid re-establish the metallic shielding across the joint. A tough abrasion resistant black jacketing tube or wraparound jacketing sleeve provides the joint with external moisture seals and mechanical protection. For cables requiring additional mechanical protection, specifically designed metallic case o encapsulation by polyurethane compound can be provided.
