Working with Anixter, T&D are supplying Heat Shrink Cable Sheath Repair Kits to reinstate and repair cable damage to BS6883 offshore cables (600/1000 volts low voltage) - during installation of the offshore type cable (BS6883) the bending radius was exceeded causing stress cracks and splits on the EPR rubber insulation.
The lay-flat wrap-around design of heat shrink cable repair kits enable fast and reliable repairs to cable damage without resort to cable jointing or electrical circuit isolation. The damaged cable can be repaired mid-circuit without resort to disconnection of the cable at the point of cable gland or cable termination. The damaged cables with an outside diameter of 19mm are to be repaired using 250no 1 metre lengths of SPS SWRS 50-15 heat shrink repair kits.
The dielectric strength of a wraparound repair sleeve is minimum 11kV-12kV per mm of thickness and after recovery the heat shrink will provide a 2mm wall thickness. This level of re-insulation is sufficient to seal and protect cable and provide some additional insulation. However, whilst a heat shrink wrap sleeve is an excellent choice to repair low and high voltage cables, if any damage to the conductive screen or primary insulation on high voltage cable is evident, removing the damage and fitting a cable joint would be the recommendation.
