3M Cold Shrink Branch Splice Is Available.AUSTIN, Texas -- The 3M Cold Shrink Branch Splice QS-2001B from 3M allows power utilities and industrial contractors to more easily make a wye Wye, river, c.130 mi (210 km) long, rising on Plynlimon Mt., W Wales, and flowing generally SE past Builth Wells (Wales), Hereford (England), and Monmouth (Wales) to the estuary of the Severn River. splice configuration on electrical power cables rated up to 15kV. This branch splice was market tested in the U.S. and now is widely available. The 2001B splice is made of silicone rubber Noun 1. silicone rubber - made from silicone elastomers; retains flexibility resilience and tensile strength over a wide temperature range synthetic rubber, rubber - any of various synthetic elastic materials whose properties resemble natural rubber and uses cold shrink technology, which was developed by 3M 40 years ago. It allows fast installation of the wye configuration without the force needed to install push-on modular splices or the time required for tape or heat shrink splices. The 3M Branch Splice QS-2001B accepts all conductor sizes from #2 AWG (American Wiring Gauge) A U.S. measurement standard of the diameter of non-ferrous wire, which includes copper and aluminum. In general, the thicker the wire, the greater the current-carrying capacity and the longer the distance it can span. through 500 kcmil. It is rated for 15kV cable systems and accommodates main feeder feeder abbreviation for self-feeders. Used in feeding groups of animals at intervals of several days. Feed has to be dry and comminuted so that it will run down the spouts from the hopper into the troughs. cable runs and taps of 350-500 kcmil conductors. The splice also accommodates conductor sizes from #2 AWG through 250 kcmil with an adapter A device that allows one system to connect to and work with another. An adapter is often a simple circuit that converts one set of signals to another; however, the term often refers to devices which are more accurately called "controllers. applied to increase the outer diameter of the cable. The connector supplied with the splice is a shear-bolt connector to provide the correct connection. This three-way splice kit contains all components needed to splice, shield, ground, jacket and environmentally seal the cable.
