Python Premolded Joints
The G&W Electric Python Premolded Joint is a 69–500kV factory-molded splice for XLPE and EPR transmission cable runs and emergency cable repair, sold and supported in Texas and Oklahoma by Ryan Sales.
- 72.5-550kV IEC / 69-500kV IEEE
- prequalification and type tested per IEC 62067 at 230/345/500kV
- 100% routine tested
- mechanical shrink
- shear bolt connectors
Overview
Python premolded joints splice XLPE or EPR transmission cable from 72.5 to 550kV IEC (69-500kV IEEE) using a factory-molded body with self-contained stress control. Mechanical shrink design shrinks the installation footprint and eliminates special tools, shear bolt connectors simplify assembly, and every joint is routine tested. Emergency stock programs in the U.S. and Shanghai support rapid cable repair and restoration.
