New Termination Method for Medium Voltage Cables
HARRISBURG, Pa. - Jan. 13, 2006 - Tyco Electronics recently introduced an improved version of RAYCHEM TFT-E tool free terminations. TFT-E elastomeric medium voltage terminations are designed for 15kV, 25kV and 35kV cold shrink terminations and feature the newest development in cold applied material technology. With this new material technology, electrical utility engineers can expect an improvement in tracking erosion test performance (TERT) by up to three times over the previous generation TFT-E termination material. Furthermore, the elastomeric body provides improved shelf life and cold temperature recovery along with outstanding UV stability, all adding to the product's useful life.
By using the improved TFT-E termination, utilities will also gain the benefit of an advanced stress control method employing metal oxide matrix technology to provide superior electrical performance. A pre-lubricated, crush resistant holdout (or core) simplifies installation.
In addition to the rugged elastomeric housing, positively positioned stress controls and self-amalgamating moisture sealing features of TFT-E terminations, they also provide maintenance-free, performance even in highly contaminated areas,
The product is tested to IEEE 48-1996 and is available in three sizes which accept a wide range of cable sizes.
