Abstract

A shrinkable cable joint includes a joint insulating layer that surrounds a connection region configured to house two connected cable ends. A joint semiconductive layer surrounds the joint insulating layer. A joint screen layer surrounds the joint semiconductive layer. A joint sheath surrounds the joint screen layer. A capacitive voltage sensor is arranged between the joint screen layer and the joint semiconductive layer. The capacitive voltage sensor includes a sensor insulating layer having a first side and an opposite second side; a sensor electrode and a guard electrode arranged on the second side and directly contacting the joint semiconductive layer; and a sensor conductive layer arranged on the first side. The sensor conductive layer includes a first conductive layer portion in direct contact with the joint screen layer and electrically coupled to the guard electrode and a second conductive layer portion electrically coupled to the sensor electrode.
