The ends of both cables are bared and the diameter of the heating cable's heating conductor (17) is brought up to the diameter of the supply cable's conductor (10) by a metal cap or thimble (16) fitting over its end. A metal tube (18) connects the cable ends and the housing is then filled with a suitable resin (23). The heating cable's inner conductor and earthed outer sheath are separated by ceramic (4).</p> |
