The ComEd splicing school was held in January 1995 to train the work force for the installation of the first 345kV High Pressure Fluid Filled pipe type L.P.P. (Laminated Paper Polypropylene) insulated cable on the ComEd system. Construction is nearing completion on ComEd`s 345kV underground transmission line 17723 between Burnham TSS 177 and Taylor TSS 153 located just south of the Chicago Loop. Continued development and construction of the down-town Chicago Area and the south Loop has established the need for this line to reinforce the transmission network serving this critical area. 345kV transmission Line 17723 is a combination of overhead facility and HPFF (High Pressure Fluid Filled) pipe type L.P.P. cable with a summer normal rating of 900 MVA and a summer emergency rating of 1,200 MVA. This paper describes the training facility, innovative changes in tooling and the results of the training exercises.
