Special Features | Power Cable Joints utilize permanently crimped connectors. PCJ housings are fully insulated, shielded and sealed for direct-burial, vault, submersible and other servere service applications. Units have been designed and tested per IEEE Standard 404 to ensure system matched performance and ratings equal to the cable to which the splice will be installed. Power Cable Joints are available in two styles. Style 1 uses a single-piece housing that is sized to accommodate a specific range of cable - ideally suited to straight splicing of the same or similar cable. Style 2 designs incorporate a universal housing with separate cable adapters to allow transition splices of different types and sizes of cable |

How are connectors selected for different conductor types?
Aluminum compression connectors are for aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper. All-copper connectors are required for copper-to-copper connections.
Can copper connectors be used with aluminum conductors?
No, copper compression connectors are suitable for splicing copper conductors to copper conductors only. Do not use copper connectors on aluminum conductors.
What is the DC withstand during installation for 35 kV class?
For the 35 kV class, the DC withstand during installation is 100 kV.
What is the BIL impulse withstand for 35 kV class?
For the 35 kV class, the BIL impulse withstand (1.2 x 50 μsec. wave) is 300 kV.
What is the phase-to-ground voltage for 35 kV class?
For the 35 kV class, the phase-to-ground voltage is 20.2 kV.
What are the continuous and short-time current ratings?
The continuous current rating is equal to that of the cable rating. The short-time current rating is equal to the cable rating up to 35 kA.
What safety standards do PCJ power cable joints meet?
The shield design meets the IEEE 592 standard. The connectors meet ANSI 119.4 Class A and Class 3 ratings.
What pull force can the PCJ joint withstand?
The pin-and-socket interlock of the PCJ power cable joint is designed to withstand a pull force of up to 500 lb.
What cable types are compatible with PCJ power cable joints?
They are designed for UD cable with concentric neutral and extruded insulation shielding. They also work with fabric-tape shielded or lead-jacketed cables using proper adapters.
Where can PCJ power cable joints be installed?
PCJ power cable joints can be installed in direct-burial, underground vault, and even overhead applications. They provide a permanent, fully shielded, fully submersible splice.
How to Install the 15/25/35PCJ1 Series Straight Cable Joint
This guide provides detailed instructions for the permanent, fully shielded, and submersible installation of the 15/25/35PCJ1 series straight joint on wire shielded cables. Ensure all safety precautions are followed for high voltage electrical equipment.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
Cable cutting tool, Insulation removal tool, Wire-brush, Crimping tool, T&B WT3D tool (for 35kV cable ties)
Supplies needed:
Joint Housing, Splice (Conductor Contact), Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), User-supplied connector, DELTECt Cable ties (TYD5135, for 35kV only), No. 14 AWG copper wire or equivalent (if shield wires are smaller)
- De-energize and Inspect Apparatus
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Verify package contents are complete and undamaged, and have all required tools at hand.
- Prepare Cable Lengths
Overlap both cables and cut them to 12 inches (305mm) from the centerline of the joint. This ensures sufficient length of shield wires for rejoining over the joint.
- Remove Cable Jackets and Position Shield Wires
Where applicable, remove the cable jacket of Cable 1 to 37 inches (940mm) and Cable 2 to 21 inches (530mm). Fold back the shield wires. Cut both cables at the joint centerline.
- Prepare Cable 1 Insulation Shield
Taper the edge of Cable 1 at least 1/2 inch (13mm) to no greater than 1-1/2 inches (38mm). Clean and lubricate the insulation shield.
- Lubricate and Position Joint Housing
Lubricate the inside bore of the joint housing on both ends. Slide the housing onto Cable 1 up to the shield wires.
- Remove Cable Insulation and Shield
Carefully remove the cable insulation and then the insulation shield from both cables according to the dimensions provided in the documentation (e.g., 'X' and 'Y' dimensions for conductor and insulation shield). DO NOT CUT OR NICK THE CABLE INSULATION OR CONDUCTOR.
- Install and Crimp Conductor Splice
If conductors are aluminum, wire-brush them thoroughly and immediately insert them into the splice. Check the dimension against the 'Max Check Before' table in the documentation; if it exceeds this, redo the assembly. Crimp the splice following the manufacturer's recommendations provided with it.
- Clean Splice and Verify Dimensions
Wipe off all excess inhibitor where applicable. Check the distance between cable insulations against the 'Max Check After' table; if it exceeds this, redo the assembly. Remove any sharp protrusions or burrs generated during crimping. Ensure all metal chips or filings are removed from the splice and joint assembly area before sliding the joint.
- Prepare Cables for Housing Placement
Clean the cables where indicated in the diagram. Lubricate in the direction of the arrows to create a build-up or ramp of lubricant at the edge of the insulation shield.
- Slide Housing into Final Position
Slide the joint housing into its final position. Ensure proper positioning by observing and equalizing the deformation of the joint ends caused by the underlying cable insulation shield.
- Install Cable Ties (35kV Only)
For 35kV installations ONLY: Install two DELTECt Cable ties (TYD5135) on each end of the cable entrance. Install the outer ties approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) from the edge of the splice, then install the second ties approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) from the first, with an offset of the locking heads. Use the T&B WT3D tool (not included) to tighten and trim the ties.
- Prepare Grounding and Secure Shield Wires
Remove and discard the yellow pin from the joint grounding eye (for 35kV ONLY). Retrain the shield wires and secure them to the ends of the joint as shown in the diagram.
- Connect Joint Grounding Wires
Insert one of the shield wires from Cable 1 (if #14 AWG or larger) through the joint grounding eye. Repeat for Cable 2. If shield wires are smaller than #14 AWG, use a separate #14 AWG copper wire or equivalent. Connect the joint grounding wires and remaining shield wires using an appropriate user-supplied connector.
- Reconstruct Cable Jacket
Reconstruct the cable jacket (where applicable) over both cables and the joint housing to complete the installation.
