Bodies –
Three conductor termination bodies are constructed of welded
steel with non-magnetic stainless steel top plates. Single
conductor units incorporate factory soldered joining of the
porcelain and cable entrance. Hoods and wiping sleeve entrances
are spun copper for a positive sealing surface. Soldered filling
hole plugs in 3⁄4” pipe sizes are standard. Smaller
thread sizes or gasketed plugs are available.
External Insulation
– High strength, wet process porcelain is used for outdoor
and indoor applications. Large diameter petticoats and an
external conducting glaze between the bottom petticoat and
cable entrance increase the electrical strength of the termination.
The porcelain is factory soldered at the hood and cable entrance
areas. It is important to select terminations with porcelain
bore diameters large enough to accommodate the stress relief
cone on the cable. Porcelain bore diameters should be 3/8
inch larger than the stress cone diameter to allow for compound
filling or 1/4 inch larger to allow for gas or oil filling
when applicable.
Entrances –
Wiping sleeve and stuffing box entrances with various optional
fittings are available.
Stress relief
– Hand taped stress relief cones effectively control
electrical stresses in the cable. Various kits consisting
of insulating tapes and shielding braid are available depending
upon the cable construction and voltage rating.
Internal insulating
material – Insulating compound, gas or oil, is
required for all Sodertite termination installations. Various
compound materials are available depending upon the cable
type and voltage rating.;
Connectors
– Copper solder style connectors are standard. Aluminum
or copper compression style connectors are available.
Aerial lugs
– Various clamp and bus style copper aerial lugs are
furnished as standard. Silver or tin plating is optional.
Protective rainshields are available for over the aerial lugs
to increase insulation between phases if required.
Brackets –
Vertical style aluminum or bronze clamped-on brackets are
standard for single conductor units. Three conductor terminations
have mounting lugs welded to the body of the termination.
Flange style units incorporate either clamped-on or brazed-on
mounting flanges. Bracket and flange insulators are available.
