Features and benefits

Reliable, field-proven performance
Independent testing and field experience have repeatedly proven the long-term
stability, durability, and reliability of the Tyco Electronics’ Raychem HVT system,
even in highly polluted environments. The nontracking, insulating outer jacket can
withstand the rigors of long-term electrical stress and surface pollution without loss
of performance. The nontracking material offers the additional benefit of being
maintenance free, with no need for periodic cleaning. Extensive load cycle testing
verifies the long-term thermomechanical compatibility between the termination
system and the cable.

Ease of installation
HVT kits can be installed on all cable types without special adapters or accessories.
No special tooling or connectors are required since HVT kits accept all common 93
compression or terminal lugs. The HVT installation method also provides generous
cable cutback and component positioning tolerances, further reducing installation
variability. Heat-shrinking allows the kits to be easily inspected, either visually
or by simple touch, to help ensure proper installation.

Always ready for the job– even in emergencies
HVT kits have an unlimited shelf life. They remain ready to use on short notice, so Tyco Electronics’ proven oil-sealing
you have no worries about scrapping aged inventory or being caught with useless technology has been used for more than 18
products during an emergency or on a time-critical project. years in medium-voltage transition joints.
This technology is now put to work in our
PILC termination kits (see page 111).
Flexible and versatile
An HVT system may be installed upright or inverted and can
bend to the same bending radius as the cable. Slim and light-
weight, the system can also be mounted directly to fuse Tyco Electronics’ Raychem
HVT system features a non-
cutouts or other devices, eliminating the cost of additional tracking, insulating surface
supporting brackets and cross arms. that can withstand long-term
electrical stress and surface
pollution.
46 and 69 kV
At voltages as high as 69 kV the need for proven stress con-
trol is even more important. The materials used in our 46 and
69 kV terminations (as with all lower voltages) are suitable
for severely polluted areas—and for all installation conditions,
including top feed installation.

The material is designed to be resistant to impact damage from transportation or
vandalism, a typical problem for heavy, inflexible porcelain products. Tyco
Electronics’ Raychem 46/69 kV terminations also require no compound filling which
can leak over time.

Cold-applied termination system
TFT terminations are designed for customers who want Tyco Electronics material
technology in a cold-applied system. The cold-applied terminations also provide
positive positioning of the stress control patch.

Tyco Electronics’ Raychem 69 kV termina-
tions require no special or expensive tools
for installation, and no soldering (see page
108).

HVT testing data
Tyco Electronics’ Raychem high-voltage terminations are fully qualified per IEEE-48
as Class I terminations to provide a long, trouble-free service life. Independent test-
ing and field experience have repeatedly proven the long-term durability, reliability,
and stability of the HVT system, even in highly polluted environments. Tyco
Electronics’ proven nontracking, insulating jacket can withstand the rigors of long-
term electrical stress and surface pollution without loss of performance. The non-
tracking material is maintenance free and does not require periodic cleaning.
Extensive load-cycle testing verifies the thermomechanical compatibility between
the termination system and cable.

Recommended guide specifications
96 Please feel free to use one or all of the following in your design specifications:

Medium-voltage terminations (through 69 kV)
Shielded power cable termination kits shall be factory engineered for the
application. The kits shall consist of high-permittivity, high-resistivity, heat-shrinkable
stress control tubing, and outer insulation tubing and skirts (outdoor applications)
made from UV-stable, nontracking (per ASTM D 2303) materials. Heat-activated
sealant materials to help prevent moisture ingress and contamination should also be
included. Termination kits shall meet or exceed all rating requirements of IEEE-48 for
Class I terminations and the test sequence prescribed by IEEE-404, including 130°C
load cycling and 130°C impulse withstand.

Multi-conductor shielded cable terminations
In addition to the phase terminations, multi-conductor termination kits shall provide
a heat-shrinkable breakout boot, factory-coated with sealant for strain-relief and seal-
ing purposes. Each kit shall include lengths of heat-shrinkable tubing to help prevent
corrosion and shifting of the shielding layers between the boot and the phase-termi-
nation installation point.

When grounding and/or ground check conductors are included, the kit includes
lengths of heat-shrinkable tubing and sealant material to seal each conductor from
the boot to its connection point.

Nonshielded cable terminations (2–5 kV)
Termination kits for nonshielded power cables installed in contaminated indoor or
outdoor environments are factory engineered to provide UV-stable, nontracking (per
ASTM D 2303 and the Ontario Hydro accelerated tracking wheel test) exterior sur-
faces and complete environmental sealing for the termination area. Termination kits
shall consist of heat-shrinkable tubing, skirts (outdoor applications), and sealing
boots (for 3/C only) supplied with heat-activated sealant materials to help prevent
moisture ingress and contamination.

Electrical stress control
Shielded power cables require electrical stress control when terminated. When the
insulation shield is removed from a cable, the electrical field is concentrated at the
cutback point, causing high electrical stress. If the stress is great enough, it can cause
the air to break down, resulting in corona. High-stress areas also cause internal dis-
charges. Corona or internal discharges will ultimately destroy the cable insulation,
causing premature failure.

Cable termination without stress control
The diagram below shows an energized cable termination without stress control. The
electric field intensity is greatest where the equipotential lines (line of constant volt-
age) are concentrated. Note the concentration near the edge of the semi-con shield. 97
Stress control is required here to reduce the electrical stress below levels at which
the air would break down or discharges would occur in the insulation.

Cable termination with Tyco Electronics’ unique stress control system
With Tyco Electronics’ stress control tube installed, the equipotential lines are spread
out, distributing the electrical field and reducing the electrical stress to the cable
insulation’s operating level, as shown in the diagram below. This is achieved by the
unique resistive and capacitive properties of the heat-shrinkable material. Note that
no diameter buildup is required as in a conventional stress cone that utilizes its
geometry to reduce stress.

Recommended air clearance (Heat-shrink and cold-applied products)
Phase/phase and phase/ground
The stress control system provides a linear voltage distribution from the lug at high
voltage to the shield termination at ground potential. If the termination is installed
too close to another phase termination or grounded metal, the electric stress in the
air gap will rise to a level where discharge or flashover may occur. The table and dia-
grams below indicate the minimum clearances needed between various termination
configurations. These clearances are based on IEEE Basic Impulse Levels (BIL).

MOD-3-HVT


3/C cable terminating
MOD-3X-HVT and MOD-3Y-HVT are for jacketing of phases and ground conductors.
MOD-3A-HVT and MOD-3B-HVT provide jacketing, plus an environmental crotch
sealing boot. Tubing provided does not have sealant coating on the inner wall. This
makes it easy to remove, like any cable jacket. Each kit includes three four-foot-long
sleeves for the phases and three four-foot-long smaller sleeves for any ground con-
ductors. (Tubing can be field-cut to appropriate length.) A unique six-legged cable
breakout boot, provided in -3A and -3B kits, has an internal coating of a special adhe-
sive to provide total environmental sealing of the cable crotch (breakout) area. It has
three large legs for the phases and three smaller legs for ground conductors. Plugs
are included for insertion into any unused ground legs to maintain the environmental
seal integrity.
