IEEE 404-1993

This standard establishes electrical ratings and test requirements for cable joints for use with extruded dielectric shielded cable rated in preferred voltage steps from 5000¿¿¿138 000 V and cable joints for use with laminated dielectric cable rated in preferred voltage steps from 2500¿¿¿500 000 V. It also defines a variety of common joint constructions. Joints that connect more than two cables or connect cables with two different conductor sizes (other than transition joints) are not covered by this standard. However, manufacturers and users are encouraged to use appropriate parts of this standard to evaluate these joints.
