Country:Korea

Industry:Shipbuilding & offshore

Challenges:• Tough operating

environments • Higher density

installations

Solutions:Low profile, short &high performanceMV termination

Customer Advantage:• Material and space

savings• Easy installation and

operation • Long operating life • Resistance to humid

environments

Background:As a leader in the construction of marine and offshore equipment, Korea

is home to some of the world’s largest manufacturers of bulk carriers,

tankers, rigs and platforms.

Challenge:While the country’s marine designers and engineers face tough

operating environments, depleting oil reserves make it necessary to drill

ever deeper and wider. This, in turn, has led to a dramatic increase in the

demand for power and, more pertinently for TE, a demand for higher-

density installations to answer the calls for improved cost-effectiveness

and efficiency.

Solution:Raychem’s solution was to introduce a low profile, short and high

performance MV termination to ensure ease and simplicity of installation

and resistance to humid environments.

To deliver increased “power density”, TE’s Energy Division developed

new designs of cable accessories that facilitate simpler, faster and more

reliable installations. One good example of this is the low profile MV

termination that allows a large number of cables to be successfully

terminated into a small space.

To ensure an even smaller, more compact and robust solution that

outperforms the competition, we incorporated a radical new stress

control system (employing a metal oxide varistor material) and a total

seal to the cable insulation, sheath and lug barrel.

Shipboard termination of three core MV cables

Benefits:The MV termination has multiple advantages including material and

space savings, easy installation and operation and a long operating life:

• Short length

• Small profile (no need for sheds on the cores)

• Easily installed on cables that are not straight and in confined spaces

• Total sealing of termination to cable and lug substrate

• Heat-shrink installation technology ensures no moisture is captured

or retained under the termination, even when installed in very wet/

humid environments

• Extremely robust, tough materials

• Exceptional electrical performance

• No shelf life limitations
