<p>A sealing tape (10) for a cold-applied joint in a pair of cables where at least one of the cables is a paper-insulated lead cable (PILC) including paper insulation impregnated with oil. The sealing tape (10) comprises an inner layer (12) carried on an outer layer (14). The inner layer (12) includes a deformable oil-barrier material to form a seal about a joint, the seal being resistant to chemical attack from oil and resistant to migration of oil therethrough. The outer layer (14) includes a relatively rigid material to form a protective sleeve about the seal, the protective sleeve resisting deformation and expansion of the inner layer (12) that results from expansion of oil in the paper insulation.</p> |
