HV Cable Stress Cone Application guidance

[genRman]

Can anyone point me in the right direction for guidance notes on the application of cable stress cones for HV systems up tp 15kV please?
Thanks

Most kits come with installation instructions in the box, here's some links to manufacturers (3m & Raychem):

Gordonl,
thanks, I was looking for more information on electrical stress field data, how the equi-potential lines vary with and without stress cone application, how to quantify the benifits of stress cone application & how to identify the reduction in stress concentrations in key areas of the cable / lug connection area.
Sorry, I should have ben more clear!
Thanks for the effort anyway.

You may want look at the headings under:

Experience seems to have a greater effect on MV-cable life compared with 600-volt materials. There is a lot less room for error with shielded-cable installation. 65kVDC testing of new 15kV 133% cables does a good job of ‘flushing out‘ sloppy splices and terminations.
