4.1 General
4.1.1 The splice or termination kits shall meet or exceed the requirements of this
Specification in all respects.
4.2.1 The design and construction of the splice shall essentially meet the latest
requirements of IEC 60141-1, IEC 60840, IEC 62067 or IEEE 404.
The design and construction of the termination shall essentially meet the
latest requirements of IEC 60141-1, IEC 60840, IEC 62067 or IEEE 48.
4.2.2 The splice or termination shall be designed for service conditions specified
in 01-TMSS-01 and suitable to work with power cable having maximum
emergency loading temperature of 105ºC for 3 hours.
4.2.3 All components of the splice or termination shall perform without distress
under normal cyclic loading and fault conditions. When the dielectric
strength of the cable termination is dependent upon taping or the use of
auxiliary insulation, such insulation shall be used when any design (type)
tests are performed.
The splice design shall also prevent the presence of air especially at stress
points.
4.2.5 Depending on the type of bonding system for power cable, splice and
termination shall be provided with a sheath sectionalizer/shield break
insulation. Metallic sheaths from both sides of the cable splice shall be
overlapped across the sheath sectionalizing insulation before taking any
exit in cross-bonded splice.
4.2.6 The jacket tubing, if needed, shall be generally suitable for indoor and
outdoor installation, be ultraviolet and chemical resistant and with or
without adhesive coatings. It shall also be capable of being stored without
damage at temperatures not exceeding 50°C.
4.2.7 Components shall not be adversely affected in any manner by contact with
other materials normally used in the construction of cable joints and shall
not increase the rate of corrosion of any metal with which they may come
in contact.
4.2.8 The termination shall be Class 1 per IEEE 48 or equivalent. For apparatus
terminations, the temperature of the medium in direct contact with the
termination (ambient inside enclosure) shall not exceed 55ºC. Oil used in
indoor terminations shall be preferably silicone oil.
4.2.9 All terminations to Low Pressure Oil Filled (LPOF) power cable and GIS
shall employ, as a minimum, a double sealing method per IEC 60859 to
prevent leakage of SF6 gas and oil. Details of the sealing method shall be
submitted by the bidder for review and approval of SEC. The seals shall
have a life expectancy of not less than 30 years.
4.2.10 Cable termination manufacturer shall provide and install the non-linear
resistance/surge arresters, symmetrically between the GIS-side flange and
ground, at the cable termination with GIS having shield break insulation to
bypass very fast transients generated in GIS per IEC 60859 or IEEE 1300.
4.3 Materials
use suitable bimetallic connectors for the purpose. For outdoor and
indoor terminations, all connectors shall be tin-plated.
c. For connections wherein the conductor of the cable and the connector
are of the same material, the effective cross-sectional area of the
connector shall at least equal the size of conductor of the cable.
c. The recovered wall thickness of heat shrink insulation tubing over the
connector shall be uniform and equal to or greater than the cable
insulation thickness as given in Data Schedule.
b. The heat shrinkable outer tube shall be ultra violet resistant and drip
water resistant. The outer tube may be provided on resin glass-fiber
tube to guarantee maximum strength during short circuit.

404.
5.2.2 Termination kits shall be tested per IEC 60141-1, IEC 60840, IEC 62067 or
IEEE 48.
5.3.1 In addition to the design (type) test given above, all outdoor termination
kits shall undergo a humidity and condensation test per Appendix "BB" of
IEC 60466 and salt fog test per Section 3 of IEC60507 with salt
concentration at 20ºC of 224 kg/m3 when specified in the data schedule.

resistance of the heat shrink tube/polymer material. The test shall conform
to the requirements of ASTM G 154.

supplier's name and reference numbers.
6.3 All components shall be capable of being stored without deterioration within the
temperature range 0°C to + 50°C. Components or materials, if subject to a shelf life
limitation, shall have the final date of use prominently and permanently shown on all
packages.
6.4 Each splice and termination kit shall be packed in its own individual re-sealable hard
board box, and the box shall be printed with the following minimum information:
6.5 Each crate shall be fixed with an aluminum plate giving the following information:
6.6 Each kit shall be disassembled only to such extent as may be necessary to facilitate
field handling and to prevent damage during shipment.
