Course Overview

Power Cables are critical components in utility distribution systems and power plant; their performance significantly affects the system’s overall performance and plays a significant role in network reliability. Insufficient installation and testing of cable joints and terminations are the main reason for electricity failure. Appropriate cable splicing and termination considerably improves cables’ lifetime and prevents damage to downstream electrical equipment.

This workshop is designed to update participants with the latest testing standards, commissioning and diagnosing Medium Voltage power cables. It covers some of the more common and updated aspects of corrective and preventive maintenance of MV cables. This course describes the essential information that any engineer, technician & cable jointer who works in distribution needs to know about cable construction, splicing, installation, selection testing, diagnosis, and fault location. You will also learn cable splicing and termination techniques to help reduce the risk of errors that could cause premature electrical failures.
