Medium Voltage 3C PILC Transition Splice Kits

Prysmian 3C Transition Splices are designed to provide the reliability required when splicing three-conductor paper lead cable (PILC) to three single-conductor solid-dielectric polymeric cables. The major cold-shrink components of the splice kits are manufactured from specialty-formulated EPR materials. These components, when installed, uniformly shrink to create a joint that not only withstands high electrical stresses but also performs well under high physical stresses from internal oil pressure and extreme water pressure. Additionally, the trifurcating breakout boot and splice jackets exhibit excellent abrasion resistance. Prysmian Transition splice meets or exceeds IEEE 404 and covers voltages from 5kV to 28kV. Connectors can be supplied in the kit as required. Because the variables apply to many PILC cables, please contact Prysmian with the cable details before making a final kit selection.

Splice Kit Selection

The splice kit is assembled after considering the cable dimensions of the three-core (3C) PILC cable, the solid dielectric polymeric cables, and the selected connector.

External Grounding Add-ons: Prysmian Elaspeed™ Splice is a fully integrated splice that can be left internally grounded or externally grounded. External grounding options will depend on the cable neutral shield. If you are working with Jacketed Concentric Neutral or Flat Strap cable, the neutrals can be pulled out of the splice and grounded. Alternatively, ground braids can be utilized to externally ground the splice. 

Splice Connector Add-ons: Prysmian Elaspeed™ Splice is compatible with a wide range of connectors on the market.
