Transition Joint- Bridge between Older Paper Insulated Cables and Newer Polymeric Cables
Today’s age is said to be the age of polymeric cable installations. However, about 50% of the underground network of a power distribution system comprises installations of old paper-insulated cables. Though emphasis is greatly placed on ‘pushing out the lead’ the old cable installations still hold sway. In spite of these systems being many years old they still continue to function effectively as long as they are not disturbed.
Choosing the Right Cable Accessories
Power cable accessories are an important part of all industrial settings. These accessories have to be of highest quality as they ensure the security and help to connect large number of cables of varying shapes, sizes and structures. If quality considerations are not given their due importance then performance in the industrial applications is bound to be affected.
Material Requirements for MV Cable Accessories
Cable accessories play an important role in maintaining vital insulation at the cable connection points as well as at cable terminations. It is very essential that these cable accessories are safe and easy to handle while being used for installation over a wide array of varied cable cross-sections and it is preferable that they comprise as little components as feasible.

Preparatory Steps for Performing Cable Terminations
Electrical joints such as the transition joint, branch joint and cable terminations play a vital role in providing electrical connection. They physically protect the cable and offer the required mechanical support too. The terminations and the joint types are classified depending upon the function, construction materials and type of cable.

Importance of Cable Terminations for Cable Testing
Cable testing tools are important set of items in any electrician’s tool kit. Among the several functions that can be performed with it, one of the most important one is that of testing a new network cable system after its installation. There are many things that may not be done right while the network cable is being installed like damage occurring to the cables, breakdown of insulation or improper cable terminations. Certain external factors such as environmental components or electrical disturbances can also play havoc with the network execution. Normally, after the completion of the installation project, a report has to be prepared stating whether every cable fulfils the required parameters or not.

Factors that Differentiate Cable Joints
Electrical power has several uses and hence there are several varieties of the power cables. Power cables are responsible for carrying electricity over distances and for different applications. In this context, the question arises how to join these electric cables if electricity has to be carried over long distances.
How to Strategize Your Cable Management Plan to Make it Fire-Proof
Electrical and electronic equipment forms an inherent part of all businesses today. And hence, effective cable management is an issue which is given great importance in work settings of all businesses. A pile of tangled cables makes the work area look messy and also poses a potential fire hazard. This is because the materials that go to make the wire jackets are inclined to catch fire easily and if by chance a fire occurs in any of the equipment around the cables or in the server room then that would cause a disaster of gigantic proportions. Therefore, the need for strategizing a fire-proof cable management plan becomes all the more significant.
