About This Item
48-2009 is a technical standard for current cable terminations used on shielded cables with laminated insulation rated 2.5 kV through 765 kV or extruded insulation rated 2.5 kV through 500 kV. It addresses a specialized part of power cable engineering where termination design, insulation coordination, and installation quality can affect system performance. For power, energy, and related industrial applications, this standard helps define a consistent basis for selecting and evaluating cable terminations.
Overview of 48-2009
48-2009 focuses on the requirements and technical context for cable terminations applied to shielded power cables within defined voltage ranges. The standard is relevant to high-voltage and medium- to extra-high-voltage installations where laminated or extruded insulation systems are used. Its scope makes it useful for engineers, specifiers, and purchasers who need a common reference for termination design and application. As a superseded document, 48-2009 may still be encountered in legacy specifications, equipment records, and historical compliance references.
Typical use cases
This standard is commonly associated with substations, utility feeders, generating facilities, and large industrial power networks that use shielded cables with high-voltage insulation systems. It may be used when specifying terminations for incoming or outgoing cable circuits, planning equipment interfaces, or reviewing legacy cable assemblies. In procurement and engineering workflows, 48-2009 can help align termination selection with the cable insulation type and voltage rating, reducing ambiguity when comparing products or maintenance records.
Why it matters
Consistent termination requirements are important because the end of a shielded cable is often one of the most sensitive points in the electrical system. 48-2009 supports better design control by giving engineers a common technical reference for materials, ratings, and application limits. That can improve procurement consistency, support testing and inspection, and reduce the risk of mismatch between the cable and its termination. For operators working with legacy infrastructure, the standard can also help preserve documentation clarity and safety expectations.
