However, manycommercial industries, including aerospace and nuclear power,have standards defining cable s

23、plicing methods and materialsthat establish the quality of the splice to prevent loss of poweror signal, ensure circuit continuity, and avoid potential cata-strophic failures. This guide presents cable splicing techniquesand hardware for application to commercial and Navy ship-building to support th

General

26、 Requirements for Cable Splicing5.1 Cable splicing requires that cable joints be insulated andsealed with an insulation equal in electrical and mechanicalproperties to the original cable. Cable splicing shall consist ofa conductor connector, replacement of conductor insulation,replacement of the ove

27、rall cable jacket, and where applicable,reestablishment of shielding in shielded cables and electriccontinuity in the armor of armored cables.5.2 Nonsplice ApplicationsUnacceptable areas for cablesplices are established by regulations and concern the restric-tion of being unable to splice cables in

28、defined hazardous areas.Hazardous areas are locations in which fire or explosionhazards may exist as a result of flammable gases or vapors,flammable liquids, combustible dust, or ignitable fibers orflyings.6. Cable Splicing6.1 Cable splicing as presented in this guide uses a systemof compression-cri

29、mp, tubular-metal connectors for butt con-nection of cable conductors and insulating systems of shrink-able tubing to reinsulate the individual conductors and replacethe overall cable jacket.6.2 Crimp ConnectorsFor splice connection ofconductors, compression-crimped connectors shall be used forjoini

30、ng an electrical conductor (wire) to another conductor. Thejoint requires proper compression to achieve good electricalperformance while not overcompressing and mechanicallydamaging the conductor. Compression connections are accom-plished by applying a controlled force on a barrel sleeve to thecondu

31、ctor with special tools and precision dies.6.3 Conductor ReinsulationThin-wall shrinkable tubingshall be used to reinsulate the conductor and the installedconnector. The insulation tubing, when shrunk or recovered,shall be equal in electrical and mechanical properties to theoriginal conductor insula

32、tion. Tubing used for conductor rein-sulation does not require an interior adhesive sealant coating.6.4 Cable Jacket ReinsulationShrinkable tubing shall beused to envelop the overall splice. To satisfy more abusiveconditions that cable jackets are exposed to, a flame-retardant,thick-wall tubing cons

33、truction with factory applied sealantshall be used.7. Cable Preparation7.1 Cables to be spliced shall be prepared to the dimensionsspecified in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Fig. 1 provides cable preparationfor power cables from single to four conductor sizes. Dimen-sions for multiple conductor cables (conduct

34、or size of No. 14or less) are shown in Fig. 2.7.2 Care must be exercised when preparing the cable endsso that conductor insulation is not cut when removing theoverall cable jacket, shield, or cable armor, where applicable.Similar care is required when removing the individual shield orF1835 97 (2012)

Similar care

36、 is required when removing the individualconductor insulation to protect the conductor copper strandsfrom nicks and cuts.7.2.2 Cable preparation shall result in stripping the indi-vidual conductors so that the bare copper is long enough toreach the full depth of the butt connector plus 3.2 mm (18 in

37、.).7.3 Match the geometrical arrangement between cables tobe spliced using conductor color code identification to elimi-nate crossovers or mismatch when splicing.7.4 Cable ends shall be in or near their final position beforebeing spliced.8.

For smaller conductor sizes (No. 10 AWG orless), a single crimp should be spaced half way between theend of the connector and the center wire stop.8.1.1.6 Conne
