Silicon terminations for 15 to 35kV cables

By Paul Dvorak | December 23, 2011

 

The 15 to 35kV terminations meet or exceed all requirements of IEEE Standard 48 for Class 1 outdoor or Class 2 indoor terminations.

Elastimold Ranger2 indoor Shrink-Fit Terminations provide easy-to-install, economical devices for medium voltage, TRXLP, and EPR cables in interior and exterior applications. The Ranger2 Shrink-Fit Terminations come in 15kV indoor design, and 15, 28 and 35kV outdoor designs for 2 AWG through 1,250 kcmil conductors.

 The outdoor silicone-rubber insulation design includes a skirt that offers exceptional creep, strike, weather and contamination resistance, along with superior cable sealing and voltage withstand. All termination kits come with the housing and stress tube pre-assembled on the core, ready for quick and easy installation. The design is said to provide a superior skirt configuration for riser pole, pad-mounted, and other installations exposed to the elements.”

 The single-piece terminations for 15 and 25kV applications feature shrink-fit design for effortless installation. The two-piece termination for 35kV applications facilitates easier core removal: one needs only position the terminator on the prepared cable and remove the center core. The terminations are compact and lightweight for enable installations in restricted spaces and free-hanging applications. The 15 to 35kV terminations meet or exceed all requirements of IEEE Standard 48 for Class 1 outdoor or Class 2 indoor terminations.
