High Voltage Cable Termination Kit
High Voltage Cable Termination Kits are critical components used to terminate and connect high voltage (HV) power cables in electrical distribution and transmission systems. These kits are engineered to provide safe electrical insulation, environmental sealing, and mechanical protection where cables interface with switchgear, transformers, circuit breakers, and overhead lines.
Our HV cable termination kits are available for voltage classes from 11kV to 66kV and above, and are compatible with XLPE, EPR, and PILC insulated cables. The kits come in various configurations, including heat shrink, cold shrink, and dry-type, offering flexibility to suit indoor or outdoor applications, as well as underground or overhead installations. Each kit includes key components such as stress control tubes, insulating sleeves, lug connectors, sealing mastics, and grounding materials to ensure reliable performance under demanding conditions.
These termination kits are designed in compliance with international standards such as IEC, IEEE, and GB, ensuring long-term safety and stable electrical performance. They offer excellent resistance to UV rays, tracking, water ingress, and pollution, making them ideal for use in substations, industrial facilities, renewable energy plants, and utility distribution networks.
Proper termination of high voltage cables is essential to prevent electrical failures, reduce downtime, and enhance the reliability of the power system. Whether you require a single-phase or three-phase termination, our kits provide an easy and efficient installation solution.

Technical Notes for Installation & Ordering
To ensure the proper selection and installation of High Voltage Cable Termination Kits, it is essential to provide detailed cable specifications and site conditions before ordering. The following technical considerations should be carefully reviewed:
- Cable Specifications:
Clearly indicate the voltage level (e.g., 11kV, 33kV), cable insulation type (XLPE, EPR, PILC), number of cores, and conductor size. This ensures the termination kit matches electrical and mechanical requirements. - Installation Environment:
Specify whether the application is indoor, outdoor, overhead, or underground. Environmental conditions like humidity, UV exposure, and temperature may influence the choice between heat shrink or cold shrink terminations. - Termination Method & Accessories:
Select the preferred termination type (heat shrink, cold shrink, or dry type) and verify if additional components such as lugs, grounding kits, or stress cones are required. - Site Preparation & Cable Routing:
Provide a layout of the installation site, including cable entry points, termination height, and any mechanical supports needed to ensure secure and durable cable endings.
Early coordination with the manufacturer helps ensure product compatibility, reduces installation risks, and maximizes long-term performance of the high voltage cable system.
FAQ
1. What is included in a High Voltage Cable Termination Kit?
A typical HV cable termination kit includes stress control tubing, insulating sleeves, sealing materials, lugs or connectors, grounding components, and installation instructions. The components may vary depending on the voltage level, installation type (indoor/outdoor), and cable type (XLPE, EPR, PILC).
2. What is the difference between heat shrink and cold shrink termination kits?
Heat shrink kits require a heat source (e.g., gas torch) to shrink the insulating and sealing components onto the cable, while cold shrink kits are pre-stretched elastomeric components that shrink automatically when the inner core is removed—ideal for faster and safer installation, especially in confined or flammable environments.
3. How do I select the right termination kit for my application?
You should consider the system voltage (e.g., 11kV, 33kV), cable insulation type, number of cores, installation environment (indoor or outdoor), and cable size. It's best to consult the manufacturer with full cable specifications to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.
