Medium voltage (MV) cable joints are widely recognized as the weakest links in underground power distribution networks. Statistical data consistently show that cable accessories account for more than half of all transmission system failures, with the failure rate of joints substantially exceeding that of the cable body itself. Among MV accessories, heat-shrinkable joints are particularly prone to partial discharge (PD), which progressively degrades insulation and leads to eventual carbonization and breakdown.

Standard cold shrink technology relies on the elastic memory of silicone or EPDM rubber. The accessory is expanded onto a removable plastic core. During installation, the installer pulls the core out, allowing the rubber to contract onto the cable.
