1

Making a jointing sleeve of an ARLC cable (DRAKA) (1 kV exterior lighting power cable with aluminium conductors and copper signal conductor)


2

Remove the external cover of the cable (see the figure).

a = 170 mm;b = 80 mm.

3

Make sure not to damage the insulation of the internal conductors.


4

Coarsen about 150 mm of the end of the external cover using a steel brush.


5

Remove the insulation from shorter conductors until the marking:I = depth of jointing contactor opening.


6

Cut off 10 mm of the longer conductors. NB! Do not cut the control conductor.


7

Make sure that the control conductor remains 10 mm longer than the other conductors.


8

Remove the insulation from the conductor ends according to the depth of the jointing sleeve opening.Remove 7.5 mm of insulation from the ends of the control conductors.


9

Put the large external sleeve onto one cable.Put the internal sleeves onto the longer conductors.


10

Connect the conductors, tightening the bolts of the jointing contactor until the bolt heads break off.


11

Clean the insulation and the jointing contactors from soiling and grease.


12

Put the internal sleeves onto the jointing contactors (in the middle).


13

Start shrinking from the middle, moving towards the sleeve ends.Heat the sleeves also in-between the contactors.


14

Install a DuraSeal insulated jointing sleeve.


15

Press the contact together, using suitable pressing pliers,e.g. Tyco Electronics Raychem AD-1522-1.


16

Heat the pressed DuraSeal contactor with hot air, until the sleeveshrinks and the glue starts to flow.


17

Install the external hot-shrinking sleeve onto the shrunk sleeve (in the middle) and shrink the external sleeve. Start shrinking from the middle of the external sleeve and move towards its ends.

The jointing sleeve is ready. Let the sleeve cool down before subjecting it to any mechanical forces.
