Uniform Stress Design in High-Voltage Cable Joints

This paper presents a method of determining whether a joint design is within the recommendations of the Underground Systems Reference Book and suggests a program for automatic computing of uniformly stressed cable joints. The method is based upon the computed solution to the equations given in reference 1. Their recommendations are based upon experience and surveys of actual splicing practice and make an allowance for the human factor as well as a factor of safety. The graphs presented here represent the, specific dimension Which gives the recommended maximum stress.
