apprentice learning about medium voltage pulling 35kv underground our foreman is letting us take home our scrap cable to learn how to splice into them gave us the print out with measurements. Like to see how it’s done and what tools to get
@@jsb7546 yeah I want to look into it mostly all trade schools I’m looking into don’t teach it this is mostly very specific on job training I just need to pressure higher ups for the training
If you look at the PVC jacket, it is uneven all the way around the cable. When setting the blade depth, the splicer should find the thinnest point and set the knife for 95% of the thinnest part so a mistake isn't made allowing he or she to cut through the copper tape shield into the semicon. If the splicer erroneously sets the depth according to the thickest part and unknowingly cuts through the thinnest part, cuts could go through the tape shield into the semicon, maybe even further depending on the difference in thickness. This is especially common when cable is pulled around a wheel, it thins the jacket on the wheel side. From the factory, uneven jacket thickness is common on all cables, so it is advised to take some additional precautions before cutting. The semicon layer could also be skewed a bit, and that is even more important to pay attention to if using a depth setting on a razor knife to cut then peel off without hitting the insulation.
This method is archaic,. I can't believe Okonite sponsored this video. This gay is so mediocre, does not use cable strippers, scissors, fiberglass folding ruler, does not provide any measure as per kit instructions.
cable strippers are for linemen who can't safely open cable with a knife. Cable splicers could open cable with a knife. Narrowbacks should stick to narrowback work. Splice kits have instructions, to splice 2 cables, such as Okonite cable, which is the best cable, the rule of thumb for a splice is 1/2 " per thousand volts creepage distance plus 1/2 length of the connector plus 1/4". semicon to semicon will be 7.5" plus 4.5" for the length of the connector. so, 11.5" semicon to semicon cutback once the cables are joined and pressed. The rest a splicer knows how to do, or should know how to make it up with semicon over the connector, the proper amount of rubber tape per insulation width, then replace the layers taken off, tack on bleeders and bond them. Arc proof, ground/bond and you are done.
@@advanced-electronic damnn did you type all that while sitting on top of the man hole waiting for foreman to ask for the fireproof 😂😂 jokes aside you're spot on. I personally like the use tools made for semicon because it's so fast. You should try the Ripley scs semicon stripper thing is a beast and it's so small it fits in the palm of your hand
good video 📹 👍
The ripply banana peeler sounds like some kind of self-pleasure maneuver. I'd give it a shot.

@@MrBoosta I don't know where you work but your compnay should look into medium voltage certification classes.

In what scenario do you think pulling it like that actually matters?

We maintain most of the regions shipyards and industrial facilities performing splices with leather knifes
If we screwed around and wasted that much time terminating mv cable they would replace us
