The heat shrink technology usage in electrical installations has become increasingly prevalent because of its multiple advantages. This heat shrink technology involves the use of specially designed cross-linked polyolefin materials that shrink in width and length when heated creating a tight and secure wrap around to be insulated electrical components. By providing dependable insulation and protection against tough environmental factors, heat shrink technology advances the durability and reliability of cable connections making it a necessity for electrical installations in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The top companies manufacturing heat shrink tubes, cable joints, cable terminations, and other power cable accessories offer a range of each heat shrink insulating product to suit diverse requirements.
Heat Shrink Tubes- Game Changer for Insulation Needs: Dependable long-lasting insulation in successful electrical installations has been the top priority. Emergence of heat shrink tubes addressed the universal need in an effective way by providing a low-cost insulation solution for all the components of electrical installations. Available in a variety of sizes, heat shrink tubes also called heat shrink sleeves can be used for all the cable sheaths types like XLPE, PVC, PILC OR Rubber. The little transition from traditional insulation practices to advanced insulation practices may secure the electrical components against weathering, moisture, contamination, and adverse environmental conditions. IP 68 certified heat shrink sleeves/tubes are available in three categories- thin wall, GDW: dual wall tubing, and heavy wall tubes commercial.
Heat Shrink Cable Joints- Connect the Cables with Robust Insulation Cover: The process of cable connecting often presents a variety of issues and challenges that can complicate both installation and maintenance. Cable connecting with secured joints is a task of importance in every electrical installation because the physical environment in which the cables are installed poses significant challenges like exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, or physical impacts, all of these affect the integrity of the connections over a period. Using heat shrink cable joints is a part of a proactive maintenance strategy that reduces chances of faults, simplifies maintenance, and enhance the life of installation. The popular series of cable joints manufactured by Gala Thermo Shrink, a leading agency supplying and importing heat shrink power cable accessories over the decades, are waterproof GPS/1112 – Series, GTJ/1112kv Series, GTJ/2436 kv – Series, and others.
Heat shrink Cable Terminations- Secure the Cable Ends in A Professional Manner: These specialized components are designed to provide a secure and insulated finish to the cable ends. Made of cross-linked polyolefin, heat shrink cable terminations offer multiple advantages over traditional insulating methods. The excellent electrical insulation properties are making heat shrink cable terminations a preferred choice in industries including telecommunications, automotive, and manufacturing. The seamless nature of heat shrink terminations minimizes electrical failures and the risk of short circuits even in harsh conditions. Available for the cables up to 36 KV of any sheathing, cable terminations are made available in a kit facilitating engineers and technicians seal the cable ends easily without requiring any special training. Standard tail length is 600 mm for outdoor and 450 mm for indoor terminations. Standard kit of cable terminations contains terminal sleeve, non-tracking weather resistant tubing, stress control tubing, rain shed, non-tracking cable break out, tinned copper earth braid, worm drive clips, mastic sealing tape, terminal lug, lug sealing tape, stress control mastic, and instruction manual.
