High Voltage Cable Terminations.

Utilising heat shrink technology to provide anti-track and stress control functions, T&D can provide high voltage cable terminations for SIWO-KUL 15kV cable - this type of high voltage cable is used to provide connections to machines, motors and generators. Heat shrink terminations rated up to 17.5kV are available in single core kits to allow connection of the SIWO-KUL cable to electrical equipment.

SIWO-KUL is a very flexible single core connection cable. It is manufactured in the voltage range of 1.1kV, 3.3-4.2kV, 6.6-7.2kV and 13.8-15.0kV. The operating temperature for continuous service extends from -55º C up to +180º C. The use of silicone rubber, a high grade corona resistant insulation material, gives the cable excellent dielectric strength. The braided synthetic yarn covering, which is applied directly over the insulation, gives the cable, because of its short braiding pitch and high compactness, excellent mechanical protection by maintaining good flexibility. The varnishing of the braiding results in good anti-friction properties, high abrasion resistance and excellent chemical resistance against transformer oil, light fuel oils and most types of cleaning agents.

SIWO-KUL cables are halogen-free meaning, in the event of fire, no corrosive and toxic gases will be given off. Hence, damage caused by fire can be kept to a minimum. Compared with other plastic insulated cables, SIWO-KUL generates only little smoke and is therefore defined as “low smoke grade” according to the Guidelines for Fire Regulations. The cables also meet the requirements concerning fire propagation specified in IEEE 383 and IEC 60332-3 respectively.
