1. 
						Insulation Build-Up  
					  Restoration of insulation and screen over the inline 
						connector effected by multiple layers of insulating 
						tubes of high dielectric strength and a semi-conductive 
						tube.  
					   
					    2. Impact Resistance  
					  Protection to inner HV parts from impacts provided by wrap 
						around steel mat. 
					   
					    3. Stress Control  
					  High electrical stress near screen-cut section avoided by 
						stress control tube with controlled impedance 
						characteristics, which remain constant over the range of 
						conductor operating temperature. 
					   
					  Electrical stresses over the in-line connector limited by 
						application of high permittivity mastic.  
					   
					  4. Armor Bond  
					  Proven electrical continuity arrangement provided for 
						limiting temperature rise of armor bonding assembly, 
						during flow of earth fault currents.
