View / Print Catalogue   3M ARMORCAST STRUCTURAL MATERIAL   Product Description  To give additional mechanical and UV protection for aerial cables, 3M provides the option to combine the completed tape joint with 3M Armorcast Rejacketing Kit No. AR-2. Installation of AR-2 is quick and easy. No need for flame, electricity or chemical. Perfect for all hazardous environments, including manholes.  3M Armorcast Structural Tape is flexible fiberglass knot fabric strip saturated with resin syrup. No heat is required in the installation process, just water. It forms a tough durable covering that cures in 20 minutes. Provides structural strength, as well as cable and splice protection. For use on any cable jackets and sheath repair. The tacky, stretchy fiberglass reinforced  material adheres both to itself and polyethylene or lead sheaths.  Special Features:    Simple application. Ouick and easy to apply without a mess.  Water activated resin. Gives control of set time.  Durable. Strong, long life, water resistant and hard wearing.  Light weight. The fiberglass construction of the tape allows for excellent mechanical protection without extra weight stress on the cables.  Tack free. Gives ease of roll unwind during application.  Resistant to moisture, fungus, acid, alkali, ozone, sunlight, gasoline and high temperatures Comforms to irregular shapes and maintains the rigidity and shape.    Application Instructions:    Wear a glove to protect hands from the resin.  Remove the roll from the foil pouch and dip in cool water, squeezing once. This will allow 4 to 5 minutes of cure time. Option: You can also apply directly eithout first dipping in water. The curing time will be longer if its not dipped in water.  Apply in spiral motion. Overlapping by half to two thirds on each turn.  Mold to aid lamination and cast strength. Use some water to help smoothen the surface.  Let it cure and dry. Cables can be moved in 30 minutes time.  Product Image read more

View / Print Catalogue   SCOTCH TAPE JOINTS FOR AERIAL BUNDLE CABLES Product Description  With 3M Scotch Tape Joints, you can insulate and moisture-proof any odd shaped and sized cable from 1 KV up to 35 KV. It is used for joining XLPE insulator single and three core cables with aluminium or copper conductors.  The scotch tape joints for aerial bundle cable application utilizes 3M electrical vinyl professional use and premium grade tapes that are UV and weather resistant as well as UL approved. It also provides the flexibility to incorporate the tape splice design with resin rejacketing for a 3M ''Tapecast'' resin pressure method or mold and compound type splice for buried underground application which requires additional mechanical strength.  All 3M scotch tape splices are rated to withstand 90 degree celsius with 130 degree angle emergency overload provisions.  Design Features:    **Consists of a combination of various 3M tapes to provide the electrical insulation build back semi conductive layer, stress control and shielding properties of the joint.   **3M self-bonding tapes provides a void free insulation build back to voltage withstand and moisture protection.    **Uses Constant Force springs for continuity of the armor and shielding of the cable.    **Laboratory tested and field-proven design. Meets the requirement of IEEE 04, VDE 0278, IEC 60502 and CENELEC HD 629 Standards.    **Detailed drawings and instructions are supplied with each kit.    Product Image   read more

 View Catalogue / Print INTERLOCKED H.V. OVERHEAD TRACTION LINE PORTABLE EARTHING EQUIPMENT Product Description This equipment is mainly used for providing temporary earth bonds between overhead catenary or contact conductors and earthed rail sections or recognized earthing points. The equipment has been specially enhanced in order to address the potential fatal procedure of removing the equipment in the wrong order from service. To ensure that the line is removed prior to the earth potential clamp, it incorporates a special key which must be used. The tamperproof lock arrangement is an integral part of both clamps with up to 20 combinations are provided, to deter 'master keys' being used to fool the system.
