Cable Splicing. Following successful cable installation, each appropriate cable will be spliced end-to-end to form a continuous cable connecting each substation. A splicing trailer will set up over each splice vault. The trailer contains all the necessary splicing tools and equipment in addition to providing a controlled clean environment for splicing to occur. To maintain this clean environment, the cable splicing trailer will be required to stay continually over the splice vault until splicing operations are completed. Generators powering all the equipment may need to run continually to maintain proper temperature, humidity and air- quality. Cable splicing will follow proprietary cable manufacturer procedures and specifications. In general, each cable conductor will be exposed, joined, then adequate layers of insulation, tapes re-applied. Cable sheaths will be gathered, then appropriately grounded.
