Additional set ZS-PPb
Additional set for cable PPb joints
The ZS-PPb add-on set is a specially developed add-on set for creating secure and permanently sealed transitions on cables with paper insulation. It is used in combination with heat-shrinkable joints for PPb cables (e.g. GKN-PPb, GN-CLN-PPb) and enables the professional adaptation of modern plastic cable joints to classic paper-insulated power cables. The set reliably establishes the electrical, mechanical and moisture-proof connection and is designed for use with compression connectors.
Details

Function & tasks of the additional set
The ZS-PPb fulfills several central tasks during the transition from paper to plastic cable:
- 1. restoration of the insulation
- Special materials compensate for the different insulation systems
- Safe electrical separation between conductor, paper insulation and plastic sheath
- 2. sealing of the paper insulation
- Protection against moisture, which is particularly critical for PPb cables
- Prevents water from penetrating the paper layers
- Ensures a permanent bubble-free seal
- 3. mechanical stabilization
- Stabilizes the transition area between the cable types
- Prevents damage caused by tension, pressure or bending
- 4. compatibility with compression connectors
- Designed for use with standardized compression connectors
- Ensures a gas-tight, mechanically stable conductor connection
