Power Cable Accessories for Industrial Applications Beyond Normal Environments
The major benefit of heat shrink products is because of the cross-linking effect that causes these products to lose their original melting properties. Heat shrink power cable accessories products can be heated beyond the crystalline melting point without melting. Above this temperature, heat-shrink products can be expanded and formed in any shape; these remain in this position when the temperature decreases.
All the anti-tracking tubes, heat shrink tubes, 36 KV cable joints, and other power cable accessories are specially designed to perform in beyond normal environments like high UV requirements, heavy pollution areas, salt fog environments, oil barrier properties, flame retardant properties, fire resistance, system integrity, etc.
Wrapping up
XLPE Cables started replacing oil-impregnated paper cables in low and medium voltage distribution Network about 40 years ago. In parallel with this shift in industrial and commercial electrical installations, heat-shrink power cable accessories emerged as an ideal solution for tough insulation and corrosion protection.
