COMPAQ 11KV 185SQMM OUTDOOR TERMINATION KIT

About COMPAQ 11KV 185SQMM OUTDOOR TERMINATION KIT

• A termination kit is used to end (terminate) a medium-voltage cable and connect it safely to switchgear, transformer bushings, overhead/pole-mounted distribution equipment, or similar installations.

• The outdoor variant is specifically designed to withstand external environmental conditions: moisture, rain, UV exposure (sunlight), humidity, dust, and mechanical stresses typical of outdoor installations. Power and Cables+2techbaniya.com+2

• This kit is suitable for 11 kV systems, and 3-core cables with conductor cross-section ~185 sq mm (XLPE or suitable insulated cables). techbaniya.com+2Scribd+2

Typical Components Inside the Kit

Based on standard medium-voltage termination kits (including those from kit-lists for 185 sq mm cables), a 3C 185 sq mm outdoor termination kit typically includes: Scribd+2MSEDCL+2

• Heat-shrinkable stress-control tubing (one per core) for stress grading at the cut-end of conductor insulation. Scribd

• Heat-shrinkable insulating tubing / non-tracking insulating sleeves (per core) for core-by-core insulation after stress control. Scribd

• Heat-shrinkable outer jacketing / re-jacketing sleeves provide external mechanical protection, environmental sealing. Scribd+1

• Armour/metal-screen earthing / screening materials (GI mesh, copper braid or tape, clamps, binding wire, solder flux, etc.) to re-establish screen/earthing continuity for screened or armoured cables. Scribd+1

• Sealing & stress-relief materials: mastic tape, sealing tape, stress-relief putty, PVC or weather-resistant tapes. Scribd+1

• Connectors / cable lugs / ferrules (appropriate for 185 sq mm conductor) for reliable termination to equipment terminals. MSEDCL+1

• Installation accessories: cleaning tissue, grease (silicone or equivalent), emery tape for conductor cleaning/preparation, and detailed installation instructions. Scribd+1

Key Features & Benefits of Outdoor Kit

• Weather resistance: Outer jacketing + sealing materials protect termination from rain, humidity, UV, dust crucial for outdoor / pole-mounted or transformer-outdoor-room installations. Power and Cables+2techbaniya.com+2

• Electrical safety: Stress-control tubing and proper insulation reduce risk of partial discharge, flashovers, or insulation breakdown especially important in medium-voltage 11 kV circuits. Scribd+1

• Mechanical robustness & earthing: With armour / screen continuity provisions, earthing / shielding remains intact essential for cable screening and safe earthing. Scribd+1

• Compatibility: Designed for 3-core, 185 sq mm XLPE / PILC or polymeric cables a common specification in HT/LT distribution networks. techbaniya.com+1

• Ease of installation: Heat-shrink technique and provided materials make the termination process manageable (with right tools), reducing installation error risk. techbaniya.com+1

Important Considerations / What to Check Before Use

• Ensure cable type XLPE / PILC / polymeric and 3-core 185 sq mm (or in permitted size range) matches the kit specification.

• Proper earthing/screening must be re-established using provided earth braid/mesh/clamps if cable is armoured or screened.

• Use correct cable lugs/ferrules compatible with conductor material (Cu/Al) and cross-section.

• Installation must be done carefully: conductor cleaning, correct heat-shrinking, proper sealing poor workmanship may compromise weather-proofing and insulation integrity.

• After termination, inspection (insulation, sealing, earthing continuity) must be done to ensure safe operation.
