3.13.3 Repair of metallic screen without ferrules
The screen shall not be joined over a repaired un-vulcanized insulation. The repair of the screen on each core shall be made by the method described below. Each of the stages Is Illustrated In Figure 3.10. The location of joints in screens of adjacent power cores shall not come into contact with those on adjacent power cores.
(a) Stage I A suitable binder. (e.g. binding wire) shall be used as a temporary measure to prevent each end of the severed screen from unravelling more than is actually required to complete the repair. (The binder Is removed In stage 3.)
One end of the severed screen shall be laid closely over the core and bound circumferentially near us end with one or more turns of tinned copper wire. This binding wire forms a permanent part of the repair. Surplus screen wires which protrude past the binding wire shall be bent away from the core and then cut flush with the binding wire so that no sharp projecting ends or loose ends of screen wires remain against the core. Similarly, all sharp projecting ends of the binding wire shall be removed.
A second permanent binder wire may be placed behind the Initial binder on top of the bound screen at a distance of at least twice the insulation diameter, hut need not be more than SO mm in distance from the initial permanent binding.
(b) Stage 2 The screen to be joined shall be closely laid, directly over the bound section of screen, and shall itself be bound and have surplus screen wires removed in accordance with stage 1.
The overlap of the two sections of screen shall be at least twice the insulation diameter but need not be more than 50mm.
(c) Stage 3 Both ends of the overlap shall be soldered with each soldered section being a maximum of 10 mm wide. The solder shall conform to Appendix.C.
The temporary binder applied at stage 1 above shall be removed. Any excess flux and solder shall be removed and the screen thoroughly cleaned and dried. Tape shall then be applied over the repaired screen in accordance with C1aue 3.14.
The permanent binding wires that are to be soldered shall not be greater than 1 mm OD.
