1. Insulation Build-Up
Restoration of insulation and screen over the inline connector effected by multiple layers of insulating tubes of high dielectric strength and a semi-conductive tube.

2. Impact Resistance
Protection to inner HV parts from impacts provided by wrap around steel mat.

3. Stress Control
High electrical stress near screen-cut section avoided by stress control tube with controlled impedance characteristics, which remain constant over the range of conductor operating temperature.

Electrical stresses over the in-line connector limited by application of high permittivity mastic.

4. Armor Bond
Proven electrical continuity arrangement provided for limiting temperature rise of armor bonding assembly, during flow of earth fault currents.
