33 kV Straight Through Joint Kit for 3 Core XLPE Cable - Heat Shrink

About 33 kV Straight Through Joint Kit for 3 Core XLPE Cable - Heat Shrink

The Gala GXS-31 to GXS-34 kits join two lengths of 3-core XLPE or PVC insulated, shielded cable on 19/33 kV systems, the 36 kV equipment class. They are used to repair faults, extend feeders and complete new 33 kV underground circuits for utilities, substations and industrial plants.

The joint rebuilds the cable layer by layer. Each core is connected with an inline ferrule and covered by stress control mastic, a black stress control sleeve, two red insulation tubes (six per kit) and a red-and-black dual wall screened tube that restores insulation and semiconducting screen together. Copper woven mesh tape restores the core screens, a tinned copper braid carries earth across the joint, and a wraparound metallic joint case (or GI mesh) with heat shrinkable outer jacketing sleeves gives mechanical protection and sealing. Red mastic, worm drive clips and installation aids, including nylon string for cutting XLPE, complete the kit.

Four kit codes cover cable sizes from 35-70 sq mm to 400 sq mm.

Gala holds a POWERGRID manufacturer approval and a MECON vendor registration for cable jointing and termination kits up to 33 kV.

Installation is with a gas torch after crimping the ferrules, following the illustrated instructions in every kit. Typical buyers are EPC contractors, utilities' contractors and industrial and substation projects working at 33 kV.

Manufactured by Gala in India. Datasheet and size selection on request.
