Splice
failure
Along
with terminations, splice failures represent approximately
90% of overall cable system failures.
Although complete failure occurred at the highest voltage stress area of the
splice pictured above, this failure could have been prevented by regular IQ testing. |

Splice
Void
This significant void
in a hand-taped splice occurred because of a manufacturing
defect in the tape vulcanizing substance.
A complete failure was avoided using the IQ Program and production
was not hampered by an unplanned power outage. |
