Introduction
Whether you’re installing electrical infrastructure in a new building or upgrading an existing system, L.T (Low Tension) and H.T (High Tension) cable laying and termination are critical for ensuring a reliable power distribution system. Done incorrectly, poor cable laying can lead to significant operational issues, safety hazards, and costly repairs.
The Importance of Proper Cable Laying
Cable laying might seem straightforward, but it involves numerous technical details that can impact system performance and safety. Key factors to consider include:
- Route Planning: Identifying the optimal path for cables to avoid potential hazards like water, extreme heat, or sharp edges.
- Proper Insulation: Ensuring that cables are adequately insulated to prevent short-circuits and energy loss.
- Protection from External Factors: Cables must be laid in a way that protects them from mechanical damage, temperature fluctuations, and environmental exposure.
Key Steps in Cable Termination
Cable termination is where the cables are connected to their endpoints—whether that’s transformers, switchgear, or other devices. Proper termination ensures:
- Reliable Power Flow: Poorly terminated cables can cause power loss, inefficiency, or inconsistent power delivery.
- Minimized Fire Risk: Proper connections reduce the risk of overheating or sparks that could lead to electrical fires.
- Compliance with Standards: Following industry standards during cable termination ensures safety and reliability.
