Abstract
An inventive method of mounting a cold shrinkable termination on an electric power cable has the steps of: providing a support tube having an outer surface coated with a soft material comprising a gel or a sealing compound on a predetermined segment; pre-expanding an insulation body of a cold shrinkable termination on the support tube coated with the soft material; inserting a cable joint of the electric power cable having a portion of a conductive shielding layer and a portion of an inner insulation layer removed, into the support tube; and removing the support tube from the cold shrinkable termination such that the cold shrinkable termination shrinks on the cable joint of the electric power cable, and the soft material is positioned between the cold shrinkable termination and the cable joint.
