Application No. 08/763,390
1. A termination for an electrical power cable including an
inner conductor, electrical insulation surrounding the
conductor and a semi-conductive shield surrounding the
insulation, wherein
the shield is removed to a predetermined length and the
insulation is removed to a lesser predetermined length to
expose the conductor, the termination comprising:
a first region of relatively high permittivity
conformable stress control material in contact with a cut end
of the cable shield and extending along the cable insulation;
a second region of relatively high permittivity
conformable stress control material disposed in contact with a
cut end of the cable insulation; and
a polymeric electrically insulating layer extending from
a first end of the termination to a second end of the
termination, the electrically insulating layer disposed over
said first and second regions of relatively high permittivity
conformable stress control material.
