Heat shrink cable joints and sleeves are the most important power cable accessories that elevate the professionalism and performance of any electrical installation to the next level driving many benefits like enhanced security, long life, less power cuts, and reduced maintenance cost. Electrical accidents are common. The electrical accidents occur for several reasons, whether the probable reason is related to faulty design, unprofessional installation, poor quality material, or traditional/outdated insulation technique. A loose connection contributes to about 30% of all electrical failures and power outages. Wouldn’t you like to eliminate the possibility of electrical accidents or faults? Using heat shrink cable joints and heat shrink sleeves, the most used heat shrink power cable accessories, is the perfect solution you can rely on.
What And Why About Heat Shrink Cable Joints: Heat shrink cable joints are advanced connection systems designed to provide insulation, mechanical protection, and environmental sealing for electrical cables. They consist of polymeric materials that shrink when heat is applied, tightly conforming to the underlying cable and ensuring a secure, watertight seal. The joints are available in varied structures to cater to differing modes of connection.
The joints are normally used in cables connecting two power sources while the branch joint facilitates branching off. The leading manufacturer, exporter, and supplier of heat shrink cable joints in Mumbai, Gala Thermo offers a range of cable joints under application-oriented series like GXLT/GPLT- Series, GPS/1112 – Series, GPS/2436 – Series, GTJ/1112kv Series, GXLTS- Series, etc. Each category is used for different type of cable joint like straight through joint or transition joint.
What And Why About Heat Shrink Sleeves: Provided in the expanded state, heat shrink sleeves are a cross-linked polyolefin ‘sleeves’. Hotmelt adhesive provides complete environmental sealing and insulation. On heating, the diameter of the sleeve reduces by 2:1 or 3:1 and the adhesive melts. On cooling, the sleeve and the adhesive harden. This combination provides resistance to pullout and a perfect waterproofing for the cable connections. The heat shrink sleeves are designed to resist temperatures as high as +260°C. Available in a wide range of dimensions, types, components, and colors, heat shrink sleeves offer superior insulation and resistance to abrasion, moisture, environment, strain, and dust. Heat shrink wrap around sleeves are available in different categories including GWS-55/8, GWS-76/18, GWS-105/28, GWS-140/35, GWS-190/46, etc.
The common applications of heat shrink sleeves include Covers on temperature probes, cable jacketing, roll covers, light duty bearing surfaces, chafing sleeves, etc. The critical selection parameters are- Wall thickness: Thin wall tubes; medium wall tubes; heavy wall tubes, red insulation tubes; Shrink ratio: 2:1, 3:1 or 4:1 (depending on the sheath); Colour: A range of colour for cable identification; and Packaging, etc. GSC series heat shrink sleeves provide electrical insulation and dependable protection for in-line components; these are commonly used for light duty wire harnessing, bus-bar insulation, and strain relief for electrical wire connections. GSC/YG series heat shrink sleeves are extremely flexible, flame-retardant, thin wall with yellow and green striped. These are widely used for ground lead applications.
