A backfilling protection structure for underground installation of a power cable joint, including: a lower casing part forming a base of the backfilling protection structure and configured to be laid on soil, an upper casing part configured to be arranged on top of the lower casing part, wherein the lower casing part and the upper casing part are configured to be attached to each other to form an elongated body, wherein the body defines a channel for receiving a power cable joint, wherein the channel extends through the backfilling protection structure from a first end opening at a first axial end of the backfilling protection structure to a second end opening at a second end of the backfilling protection structure opposite to the first end, wherein the upper casing part is provided with a plurality of top openings distributed along the length of the body and extending into the channel, and a plurality of grids covering a respective top opening, each grid being configured to filter out solid objects larger than a predetermined size from entering through the respective top opening into the channel but enabling sand to enter the channel to bury the power cable joint inside the backfilling protection casing.

Backfilling protection structure for backfilling of a power cable joint

A high-voltage cable fitting with a rigid core insulator that has a first conical outer surface extending concentrically about a longitudinal axis. An elastomeric stress relief element has a first conical inner surface is designed for mating the first conical outer surface at an interface. A rigid member is provided for pressurizing the elastomeric stress relief element at the interface. The stress relief element is pressed onto the rigid core insulator. The rigid member has at least one pressure enhancing portion extending circumferential about the longitudinal axis for causing an additional axial expansion stress in a sleeve portion of the stress relief element extending along the first conical outer surface of the core insulator in an assembled state of the cable fitting.
