The Cable Jointing and Installation Practices one day program will help the industry understand how to implement measures and controls to prevent costly faults and what happens when faults do occur.

The rise in cable system faults is of great concern for the owners, developers and operators of private high voltage networks with voltages from 2.2kV up to 33kV in generation (wind, solar and thermal) sub-transmission, distribution and rail networks or large scale industry and utilities.

When it goes wrong, it really goes wrong

“Problems mainly occur with cables because of poor cable installation, poor workmanship on joints (underground) and terminations (overheads), poor cable products and accessories and poor cables that are cheap and not manufactured to quality specifications.”  said NKT’s leading fault trouble shooter, Paul McNab.
