IXOSIL slip-on joints essentially consist of premoulded slip-on silicone parts. This enables the secure and efficient connection of two polymeric-insulated cables (XLPE, EPR). The proven slip-on technique ensures minimum installation time and a maximum operation reliability. The tested and applied material complies with all electrical, mechanical and thermal requirements for rebuilding the insulation of a cable. IXOSIL slip-on joint is available in one-piece and threepart set up and it may be used for connection of copper as well as aluminium cables. Both joints are available in different variants.
IXOSIL One-Piece Slip-on Joints
The one-piece slip-on joints are available for voltages from 72,5 kV to 300 kV. Due to the one-piece construction the joints are extremely compact in size. The space required in a joint bay therefore is reduced to a minimum. Each size of the silicone body covers a range of different insulation diameters.

IXOSIL Threepart Slip-on Joint
The threepart slip-on joint is available for voltages from 72,5 kV to 170 kV. The well-tried threepart construction of this joint enables cables of different types and dimensions to be connected. For example a 630 mm² EPR cable can be connected to a 500 mm² XLPE cable.
