regarding the installation of medium- and high-
voltage cable accessories.

• The training course for the installation of pa-

per-insulated mass-impregnated cable installa-
tion has a duration of 2 weeks and includes the
installation of transition joints (plastic-insulat-
ed cables to paper-insulated mass-impregnat-
ed cables).
• We also offer a 1-week-training course
regarding the installation of accessories for
plastics-insulated cables.

Our training courses cover the theoretical basics

of cable and accessory technique, conductor/
sheath connection technique, environmental as-
pects of installation as well as safety provisions
during installation works.

• We issue certificates for the successful

completion of the training course.
The dismantling of oil-filled-cables of course also comprises dismantling
and disposal of terminations, joints, stop joints, tanks, oil pipes, gauges, If requested, we will submit our detailed training
