stress control
the specific electrical problems of the cable termination are figure 2 shows the field of the cable termination controlled
found at the point between the high-grade solid electrical capacitively by a funnel shaped electrode. it is dimensioned
insulation of the cable and the gaseous insulation air which in such a way that field intensities do not exceed at any
has a significantly lower dielectric strength. point. this prevents harmful corona or partial discharge.

in order to achieve sufficient insulating clearance, the outer

conductive layer of the cable must be stripped to below the
end of the core. this causes unacceptably high field intensi-
ties at the end of the outer conductive layer (figure 1) which
must be eliminated by means of special measures.

silicone rubber
silicone rubber is a preferred material for cable accessories outstanding features of the silicone rubber insulation
due to its excellent mechanical and electrical properties. material are:

for more than 40 years silicone has been used successfully ✓ uV and ozone resistance
as high-quality electrical insulation for voltages up to 400 ✓ durable water rejection
kV. silicone rubber features high quality electrical insulation, ✓ weather and aging resistance
superior corona and tracking resistance, combined with high ✓ non-flammable, self-extinguishing, heat resistant
elasticity. ✓ applicable for use at temperatures between -50° c
and +180° c
it facilitates multi range application, where one silicone rubber ✓ high elasticity
body can be used for various conductor cross sections. opti- ✓ high tracking resistance
mal flexibility ensures easy assembly of the accessories. ✓ unlimited storage life
✓ friendly to the enviroment
