About This Item
IEEE 1637-2020 is a technical guide for selecting and applying terminations for shielded AC power cable rated 5 kV to 46 kV. It focuses on how cable termination choices affect electrical performance, insulation coordination, and long-term reliability in medium-voltage systems. By addressing practical application details for components used in power, energy, and industrial settings, this standard helps engineers and purchasers make more consistent decisions when specifying termination hardware.
Overview of IEEE 1637-2020
This guide addresses the selection and application of terminations used with shielded AC power cable in the 5 kV to 46 kV range. IEEE 1637-2020 is useful where cable ends must be integrated into equipment, switchgear, transformers, or other energized assemblies without compromising performance. Its technical context is centered on medium-voltage cable systems, where termination design, installation method, and compatibility with cable construction can influence insulation behavior, stress control, and service life.
Typical use cases
The standard is commonly applied when planning cable terminations for medium-voltage feeders, substation connections, industrial distribution networks, and equipment interfaces that use shielded AC power cable. It may also support engineering and procurement workflows for selecting termination styles matched to voltage class, installation conditions, and cable construction. In practice, IEEE 1637-2020 is relevant to projects involving power system upgrades, replacement terminations, and specification reviews for utility or industrial electrical infrastructure.
Why it matters
Correct termination selection is critical because the cable end is often the most sensitive point in a shielded medium-voltage installation. IEEE 1637-2020 helps reduce risk by supporting more consistent design and application decisions, which can improve safety, reliability, and testable performance expectations. For compliance and procurement teams, the guide provides a clearer basis for comparing products and installation approaches. Using IEEE 1637-2020 can also help limit avoidable failures caused by mismatched components or improper application.
