Ask the Expert: Common 11kV & 33kV Termination Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

• Wrong Kit Selection: Ensure the termination matches the cable voltage, conductor size and screen design.
• Poor Cable Preparation: Insulation damage, incorrect semicon removal, and inaccurate dimensions can compromise performance.
• Incorrect Stress Control & Sealing: Stress control components and sealing materials must be installed correctly to minimise electrical stress and moisture ingress.
• Heat Shrink Installation Errors: Overheating can damage components, while insufficient heat can lead to poor shrinkage and sealing.
• Ignoring Environmental Conditions: Consider UV exposure, pollution, condensation and outdoor operating conditions when selecting terminations.
• Insufficient Training & Quality Checks: Skilled installation teams and thorough pre-energisation inspections significantly reduce the risk of failures

Best practice is just as important as the product itself.
