A duplex electrical cable fitting includes a connector body having a mounting member and a base member, a cover having a cover hook, and a locknut configured to engage with the mounting member. The mounting member has a mounting member sidewall extending between first and second open ends with the first and second open ends defining a cable passage therebetween. The base member has a cover engaging member, which defines a cover engaging hole. The base member is connected to the mounting member at the second open end and extends downwardly therefrom. The cover hook is movably connected to the base member via the cover engaging hole so as to allow the cover to be movable relative thereto between open and closed positions.

Techniques, systems and articles are described for monitoring electrical equipment of a power grid and predicting likelihood failure events of such electrical equipment. In one example, a cable accessory is configured to couple to an electrical power cable and includes a partial discharge sensor and a communications unit. The partial discharge sensor is configured to detect partial discharge events and output data indicative of the partial discharge events. The communications unit is configured to output event data based at least in part on the partial discharge data.

A mid-span tap connector for a utility line includes a base bracket having a base upper groove configured to receive a tap line and a base lower groove configured to receive a primary line. A cap bracket is configured to be connected to the base bracket. The cap bracket has a cap groove configured to receive the primary line. A tap bracket is configured to be connected to the base bracket. The tap bracket has a tap main body with a tap groove configured to receive the tap line. The main body and tap groove extend non-parallel to the primary line in an assembled state.

A sealed cabled assembly includes a cable and a cable moisture seal assembly. The cable includes a cable subcore, a metal shield layer surrounding the cable subcore, and a jacket surrounding the metal shield layer. The cable subcore includes an electrical conductor surrounded by an electrical insulation layer. The cable moisture seal assembly includes a sealant, a electrically conductive jumper member, and an outer sleeve. The cable includes a sealing region section extending from a first axial end to a second axial end, and in which a section of the jacket and a section of the metal shield layer are removed to expose a section of the cable subcore. The insulation layer and the conductor extend through the sealing region section. First and second sections of the jacket extend away from the sealing region section in first and second opposed directions, respectively. First and second sections of the metal shield layer extend away from the sealing region section in the first and second opposed directions, respectively. The outer sleeve surrounds the sealing region section. The sealant is disposed radially between the cable subcore and the outer sleeve, and engages the cable subcore to form a moisture barrier in the sealing region section between the first and second sections of the jacket. The jumper member electrically connects the first and second sections of the metal shield layer.

Methods for connecting cables and cable connector accessories include inserting an end portion of the cable into a bore defined in a main body of the cable connector accessory, the cable connector accessory formed from an aluminum. Methods further include detonating an explosive, the explosive comprising a detonation cord surrounding an outer surface of the main body of the connector accessory. Detonation of the explosive compresses the main body around the end portion of the cable.
