Summary
This 57-minute DVD explains the principles of splicing paper-insulated lead-covered (PILC) cable. It explains how to prepare PILC cable for several typical splices made on primary PILC cable. It demonstrates how to make several typical splices on PILC cable. It covers how to make a straight splice, a typical transitional splice, and one type of trifurcating transitional splice on a PILC cable.
Training Sessions
Introduction - 7 minutes
Describes the design and construction of a single-conductor PILC cable. Identifies five types of splices made to a PILC cable, and describes a situation in which each might be used.
Cable Preparation/Splicing PILC Cable - 9 minutes
Identifies some of the tools and equipment used for preparing a PILC cable to be spliced. Using a splice kit and a specific set of instructions, describes how to prepare two PILC cable ends for a straight splice.
Splicing PILC Cable - 10 minutes
Using a splice kit and a specific set of instructions, describes how a straight splice can be made to a PILC cable.
Transitional Splice - 9 minutes
Using a specific set of instructions, describes how a transitional splice can be made between a single-conductor solid dielectric cable and a single-conductor PILC cable.
Trifurcating Transitional Splice, Part 1 - 11 minutes
Using a splice kit and a specific set of instructions, explains how to prepare for a trifurcating transitional splice between three single-conductor dielectric cables and a three-conductor PILC cable.
Trifurcating Transitional Splice, Part 2 - 11 minutes
Using a splice kit and a specific set of instructions, explains how a trifurcating transitional splice may be made between three single-conductor dielectric cables and a three-conductor PILC cable.
