Popis: The compression connector of a cable joint is one of the major components causing joint overheating. This paper proposed a new model to determine the connection resistance of the compression connector. It innovatively integrated electrical contacts model analysis (ECMA) with finite element analysis (FEA) in the modeling. The compacted stranded structure of the cable conductor was taken into account in the proposed model. The streamline distortion effect on the connection resistance was also established. To verify the applicability of the proposed model, the connection resistances of five compression connectors with different cross sections were measured. The modeling results and measurement results were in close agreement with each other.
