• Sensitive application • High current in closed environment • Flexible cable due to limited space • Highly reliable connection needed Poor contact between strands leads to high crimping resistance: • High crimping resistance causes high temperature elevation • Non optimized crimping may result in temperature reaching 170°C instead of 110°C with an optimized crimping Flexible cables are used to reduce the space needed to bend a cable where space is limited. Risks linked to flexible cables • Strands expand after insulation is stripped • At same cross section: flexible cables occupy more space...

Compaction ratio analysis and performance optimization • During crimping process, cable is compacted • Compaction ratio (in%) is used as a development metric B crimp compaction ratio (CR %) • Compaction ratio is directly proportional to performance • Trade-off between mechanical and electrical performance Compaction ratio and cable strands shape B shape crimping technology, optimized for flexible cable Hexagonal shape • • • • Poor contact between strands High crimping resistance High temperature elevation Should only be used for rigid cable Optimized contact between strands Low crimping resistance...

Tailor made solution Mecatraction technical solution scope and validity: • Lug and crimping tool are custom designed based on application cable • Compaction ratio of the crimping is directly depending on the crimping configuration: die + cable + terminal System performance of the solution is granted by the specified combination cable/lug/die Safety Instruction Risk of connection failure Never dissociate cable, lug and crimping tool. Cable, lug and crimping tool are designed to work together for a given cable and section. Laboratory test to verify connection performance Laboratory tests – derating...

Upon ordering the die, please specify the crimping tools that will be used to make sure they match each other. DEF..-..T: With inspection hole DEF..-..TSV: Without inspection hole Other lug references on request

In 2005, Sicame acquired the medium voltage underground accessories business from Sagem Cables (also known as SILEC, now part of general cable). Along with an extensive portfolio of customers and products. Since the 1970’s, Sicame has built up and acquired a recognized know-how, offering a strong base of expertise for principles design, material formulations and data testing. Sicame has leveraged this experience into new dynamics through significant investments and a dedicated team. Sicame has since vastly extended its product portfolio. Sicame is now proposing a complete range of accessories...

Watertightness Technologies Cold shrink technology • Easiest and quickest assembly • Extremely reliable • Product customization for individualized needs • Limits misassembling risks Material selection to maximize robustness EPDM rubber Naturally, EPDM materials present superior properties when it comes to mechanical strength, tear resistance and high molecular resistance to humidity. This is why EPDM material is commonly the best solution for below grade applications such as joints and derivations. Silicone rubber Presenting high performance with elasticity and hydrophobic behaviour, silicone...

Watertightness Technologies Sicame Group has developed dedicated research centers for the development of cast resins in accordance with our customers specifications. We are formulating and manufacturing various cast resins for medium and low voltage applications. Our resins are formulated and professionally tested in our in-house laboratories for highest reliability and optimal handling. All our formulations are created in accordance with the REACH classification of the European Chemical Agency (ECHA). In more than 90 years, we achieved a great knowledge about raw materials and formulations to...

Connection Technologies Since the substitution of medium voltage paper cables by polymeric cables, a highly increasing number of different cable types are used in the world. To connect MV cables with different conductor material, shapes and cross sections, mechanical connectors are a good solution to this technical challenge. A variety of Sicame mechanical connector designs had been developed. Complète range of cable range-taking mechanical connectors and terminations for MV cable conductors, with the patented universal shear head screw for either a ratchet or impact wrench installation. Separable...
