When cable glands are used to terminate SWA (Steel Wire Armour) cables, the gland must be able to provide earth continuity from the termination of the armour through to the body of the equipment, either via the enclosure itself (if it is metallic), via a gland plate or through an external earth path with the use of an earth tag.
Typically when earthing an armoured cable, a number of direct-to-ground external earth link cables are used and connected to the cable gland through an earth tag. As a minimum requirement, the cable will be earthed at least one of its two ends, meaning in the event of a fault or short-circuit the most direct route to ground will be achieved.
If multiple cable entries are required in a non-metallic equipment enclosures, a ‘daisy-chain’ earthing method can be adopted. Wherein an external earth cable is connected to an earth tag within each cable gland, with at least one earth tag used to connect the earthing cable directly to ground, typically via an earth bar.
The above methods of earthing SWA cables via cable glands, can be achieved by adding the relevant aluminium or brass slip-on earth tags to the required gland assembly, this method would be suitable where lower levels of short-circuit protection are required. If higher levels of short-circuit protection are needed, in Medium Voltage installations for example, cable glands with a heavy duty Cast Integral Earth Electrical Lugs can be supplied. These CWCIEL glands are suitable for MV installations between 11kV – 33kV and are also available in both brass and aluminium variants.

Up to Umax 42 kV
APPLICATION
36-42JTS3 CW heat-shrinkable straight joints are designed for unarmoured, plastic insulated cables with Cu wire or Cu tape screen, to accommodate either crimped or mechanical connectors.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND DESIGN
36-42JTS is the NEW high performance, compact and easy to install joint.
Double bodies with all the electrical functions integrated!
The Nexans 36-42JTS is an integrated coextruded “stress control field + insulating” nested in a coextruded “insulating + conductive” tube, which can withstand high voltage applications up to 42kV
A double layer pad with conductive rubber inside and HK orange mastic outside ensure a Faraday cage and smooth the effect of the electrical field and of the voltage gradient in the connector area.
The electrical continuity of the screen is achieved with a standard metallic tape plus earthing ferrules (CW type) while for tape screen an additional earthing braid is provided (AW type).
