Webinar: Medium Voltage Cable Constructability Overview

Presenter:  Blair​ Sackney, B.Sc. Eng – Major Projects Sales & Engineering Support

Link: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/238121

Learning Objectives:

1. Medium voltage cable handling
2. Cable pull calculations & pull plans
3. Cable routing best practises
4. Large cable installations
5. Site acceptance and maintenance testing

Overview:

This webinar will cover the site considerations related to medium voltage and large cables. These cables require additional planning to ensure long lasting and cost-effective installations. At the design phase and specification stage there are several best practices that can be considered that help ensure these critical cables are installed such that the risk of improper handling is minimized. Often poorly handled or improperly pulled medium voltage cables can result in damage that will pass acceptance testing but show up in failures 5 or 6 years later. With a good pull and testing plan, site issues can be better controlled for long lasting cable installations.

Intended Audience:  Engineers, Designers, Manufacturer’s, Installers and Inspectors who are responsible for the design, selection and installation of medium voltage cables.
