Abstract
A method of building a joint insulation of a power cable joint including a conductor joint connecting a first conductor of a first cable length to a second conductor of second cable length, the method including: a) winding a first electrically insulating tape around an inner semiconducting layer that covers the conductor joint so that the first electrically insulating tape connects a first cable length insulation layer of the first cable length to a second cable length insulation layer of the second cable length, to form an inner insulation layer of the joint insulation, and b) winding a second electrically insulating tape around the inner insulation layer, so that the second electrically insulating tape connects the first cable length insulation layer to the second cable length insulation layer, to form an outer insulation layer of the joint insulation, wherein the first electrically insulating tape has a higher peroxide content than the second electrically insulating tape, and c) crosslinking the joint insulation.
