3M Motor Lead Splice Kits Are Available for 8kV Motors; Boot Is Removable and Reusable.AUSTIN, Texas -- A 3M motor lead pigtail A cable that has an appropriate connector on one end and loose wires on the other. It is designed to patch into an existing line or to terminate the ends of a long run. Contrast with patch cord. splice kit that has a removable and reusable boot is one of the latest innovations from 3M. Used in splicing splicing /splic·ing/ (spli´sing) 1. the attachment of individual DNA molecules to each other, as in the production of chimeric genes. 2. RNA s. motor lead cables to incoming feeder cables, this new boot fits cables for motors up to 8kV. The 3M motor lead pigtail splice kit series 5380 is cold applied and slips on easily without heat or force. Heat shrink is used in many current applications, which means a torch has to be used and a knife is necessary to remove it so it is not reusable and the cable may be nicked in the process. This splice kit includes a cover that is made with abrasion-resistant EPDM rubber EPDM rubber (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber) is an elastomer which is characterized by wide range of applications. EPDM rubber is used in vibrators and seals; glass-run channel; radiator, garden and appliance hose; tubing; washers; belts; and electrical insulation. as a slip-on insulator insulator Substance that blocks or retards the flow of electric current or heat. An insulator is a poor conductor because it has a high resistance to such flow. Electrical insulators are commonly used to hold conductors in place, separating them from one another and from , which minimizes wear caused by vibration. Mastic is used for the moisture seal. The kits utilize a high dielectric constant dielectric constant n. See permittivity. (K) stress control termination for the feeder cable's electrical stress control. There are four new kits in the 3M motor lead pigtail splicing kit series 5380, which cover feeder cable sizes from 8 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. to 500 kcmil and motor leads from 10 AWG to 500 kcmil. Each kit contains all the necessary materials - except lugs - to make three splices.
