IEEE 404-2012

This standard establishes electrical ratings and test requirements of cable joints used with extruded and laminated dielectric shielded cables rated in preferred voltage steps from 2.5 kV to 500 kV. In addition, it defines test requirements for joint jacket seal devices and joint metallic-shield devices. This standard also defines a variety of common joint constructions. Joints that connect more than two cables or connect cables with two different conductor sizes are not covered by this standard. However, manufacturers and users are encouraged to use appropriate parts of this standard to evaluate these joints.
