Mineral insulated electric cable termination

摘要

A mineral-insulated (MI) cable termination assembly and method of manufacturing same is disclosed. The cable termination assembly includes an MI cable having a MI cable conductor, a mineral insulating layer surrounding the MI cable conductor, and an outer metal sheath surrounding the mineral insulating layer. The cable termination assembly also includes an electrical cable having an electrical cable conductor. A connector is provided for electrically connecting the MI cable conductor to the electrical cable conductor. A molded joint surrounds an exposed distal portion of the MI cable conductor and an exposed distal portion of the electrical cable conductor. The molded joint is composed of a polymeric material adhered to the exposed distal portion of the MI cable conductor and the exposed distal portion of the electrical cable conductor.
