Abstract
The termination of a high voltage electric cable includes a rigid heat shrinkable tube that extends between the cable jacket and a connector mounted on the cable conductor. The tube is made from an engineering plastic material and has a Flexural Modulus and a Young's Modulus high enough so as to ensure that the termination is self supporting. The termination may be used in the transmission of power from one carriage to another of an electric train.
