This blog explores the difference between various electrician types and their relevant roles when dealing with high voltage cables.
So, in brief who is a cable jointer? Cable jointers make and repair joins in insulated power supply and control cables installed in underground pipes, trenches and overhead systems. They also prepare cable terminations for electrical equipment and overhead lines. Cable jointers also install and maintain underground electrical cables used to transmit and distribute electricity in city and country areas, new housing estates and industrial centres.
There are various cable types which go as high as 400kv to transmit electrical power, for example one below.
Only a qualified electrician can implement such works. In order to operate higher voltage cables there are relevant minimum training and certifications. For example Accredited Service Provider (ASP) has various authorisation steps with Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy and Essential Energy.
