Electrical wiring faults can cause major issues inviting heavy investments, long-term inconvenience and significant production loss. It is for the cables to suit the operational and service environment. Though cables are laid according the best plan for the particular objective but cable repair is a common need in most of the large size installations. As the industries are getting more conscious about the repairing cost of electrical installation, engineers are adopting the advanced technologies for low-cost cable repair. Here comes the role of heat shrink technology that makes the cable repair products more dependable.
The Heat Shrink Cable Repair Products:
Wrap Around Sleeve: Made of cross-linked Polyolefin material, heat shrink-wrap around sleeves is fixed around the cable and zipped with a stainless steel locking arrangement. When heated, it shrinks to up to the size of cable to envelope the cable tightly. Available upto 1500 availability, the wrap around cable sleeves offered by Galathermo meet with IP 68 standards.
Cable Repair Sleeves: These heat shrink cable-repairing sleeves have adhesive at inner side. These can be fixed without disconnecting the power supply. These low-cost cut to size sleeves provide dependable environmental sealing required for high performance electrical installations. These are finding increasing applications in defrayed cables, protection of electrical connections, repairing of damaged cable-jackets, underground confined spaces, conduit transitions etc.
Cable Repair heat shrink Tape: If cable damage is confined to cable sheath and wire braiding is safe, the quick cable repair can be done by using mesh shielding mastic tape followed by fixing cable repair sleeve. Also known as ‘Bus Tape’, it is an excellent choice for insulating medium voltage bus-bars upto 36 KV. Manufactured to meet with ANSI C37.20.2 standards, these low-cost heat shrink tapes reduce the possibility of faults considerably.
Heat Shrink Cable Terminations: Making the cable termination safe is the prime concern of engineers as these are exposed to maximum usage impacts and environmental extremes. Many time electromagnetic waves emerging from the alongside cables affects performance of electrical installations causing different faults. Heat shrinkable protection products for cable joints and terminations are available in a range of size.
Heat Shrink Solder Sleeves: Solder sleeves are hollow small pieces of heat shrink sleeves having rings of solder, adhesive and modified Polyolefin. These provide excellent pull-out strength, superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. Temperature of solder melt is 125°C – 150°C. These are used to make the cable terminations secured without crimping.
The faults, accidents and loses caused by damaged cable insulation are the prime concerns of engineers. Heat shrink technology not only makes the cable repair products more dependable but easy to use also. The heat shrink electrical technology has reduced the repairing time significantly. Explore Galathermo like premium brand offering the widest range of heat-shrink cable repair products to see how easily you can minimize the maintenance cost and power supply shutdown period.
