Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of power transmission equipment, in particular to a prefabricated cable intermediate joint and a mounting method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a core component for connecting two sections of cables, the reliability of the cable intermediate joint directly determines the safety and stability of power transmission. However, in the long-term operation process, due to factors such as material properties, environmental stress, and operating conditions, the existing prefabricated joint still faces two key technical problems: insulation layer axial shrinkage and cable retreat. These two problems have become part of the causes of joint failure and power supply interruption.

[0003] During the long-term operation of the cable, the insulation layer is prone to axial shrinkage due to factors such as environmental temperature fluctuations, conductor heating, material stress release, and aging. In particular, XLPE insulation material will produce an axial shrinkage of 0.5%-2% along the length of the cable under long-term high-temperature operation. This will generate air gaps or defects at the cable insulation end port, causing partial discharge, and in severe cases, can lead to insulation breakdown. The cable retreat problem directly affects the stability of the electrical connection. During the operation of the cable, external factors such as vibration and mechanical impact can cause the intermediate joint connection site to loosen or misalign. This retreat phenomenon can reduce the contact area of the conductor connection, misalign the intermediate joint, and cause the contact resistance to grow exponentially, leading to overheating of the joint and discharge and breakdown caused by misalignment.

[0004] With the development of the power system towards high voltage and large capacity, the traditional joint structure has been difficult to meet the technical requirements. The cable intermediate joint anti-shrinkage scheme in the prior art has the shortcomings of insufficient fixing force and poor reliability.
