Splices in electrical trailing cables powering moving mining equipment are often the weakest sections of the cable. This problem, recently investigated at the Pennsylvania State University, has led to the development of an improved solder system by the US Bureau of Mines that can improve the flexibility of splices, thereby cutting down on such failures.
