3M Offers New Cold Shrink Splice Kit for 46kV Cable.AUSTIN, Texas -- 3M has introduced a new cold shrink inline splice kit designed to splice 46kV solid dielectric dielectric (dī'ĭlĕk`trĭk), material that does not conduct electricity readily, i.e., an insulator (see insulation). A good dielectric should also have other properties: It must resist breakdown under high voltages; it should not power cable. The new 3M Cold Shrink Splice Kit QS-III 5545A is designed for cables with a conductor size range from 4/0 AWG-1000 kcmil, which are typically used by power utilities and heavy industry. The kit includes all of the components to splice tape shield, UniShield, wire shield and longitudinally corrugated cor·ru·gate v. cor·ru·gat·ed, cor·ru·gat·ing, cor·ru·gates v.tr. To shape into folds or parallel and alternating ridges and grooves. v.intr. (LC) cable. This splice can be used with standard copper or aluminum inline compression (crimp crimp a regular wave formation of small dimensions, e.g. the crimp of wool fibers epitomized in the Merino breed and its derivatives. crimp marks marks made by wrinkling the x-ray film while holding it between the fingers. type) connectors. The cold shrink splice body is a one-piece molded design made of specially formulated silicone rubbers 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 the cold shrink jacketing is made of 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. for physical and moisture protection. Transitions between cables of different sizes can be accommodated. Each splice is factory tested to provide reliability. They are designed to meet minimum industry test standards and have a BIL BIL Brother-In-Law BIL Billion BIL Bilateral BIL Band Interleaved by Line BIL Basic Impulse Level (electrical power switches) BIL Basic Insulation Level (IEC) rating of 250kV. They meet the 46kV Voltage Class rating requirements of IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields.
