G101 Transformer & Cable Box Filling Compound 11kV

 

G101 cable box bitumen compound is used extensively for filling 11kV high voltage switchgear and transformer termination boxes.

At the Georgia-Pacific Paper Mill in Bury an oil spill had caused the existing cable compound to deteriorate to the extent it needed replacing. Georgia-Pacific is one of the leading producers of tissue, paper, packaging and building products in the world.

The G101 hot pour compound was delivered overnight by T&D to enable re-filling of the 11kV cable boxes.

G101 stocked by Thorne & Derrick is used by HV contractors involved in the installation, maintenance and refurbishment of high voltage distribution transformers and switchgear up to 11kV. Prysmian G101 hot pour bitumen compound requires heating prior to pouring. Protective clothing should be worn to prevent accidental skin burns, this should include gloves, boots, overalls and eye protection. G101 compound is UK Power Networks approved.

G101 hot pour bitumen compound should be heated in a clean and dry compound bucket stopping carbonised deposits being introduced into the new compound. The hot pour compound will tend to contract on cooling and it is necessary for a "top-up" pouring to complete the operation.
