Histe Cold Shrink Termination provides a quick and secure solution for terminating medium-voltage cables (up to 138kV). Unlike heat-shrink methods, it uses pre-expanded rubber technology for easy, tool-free installation, ensuring excellent insulation, waterproofing, and resistance to environmental stress.
Cold shrink terminations are compatible with a variety of cable types, making them versatile for different applications. They are commonly used with:
Medium Voltage Cables: Typically ranging from 5kV to 35kV, often used in utility and industrial power distribution.
Low Voltage Cables: Suitable for applications up to 1kV, including residential and commercial wiring.
Polymeric Insulated Cables: Such as XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) and EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) insulated cables.
Single-Core and Multi-Core Cables: Applicable for both configurations, depending on the specific termination kit.
Cold shrink terminations provide reliable sealing and insulation, making them ideal for environments requiring robust protection against moisture, contaminants, and mechanical stress.
The lifespan of cold shrink cable terminations typically ranges from 20 to 40 years, depending on various factors. High-quality materials and proper installation are crucial for maximizing longevity. Environmental conditions, such as exposure to UV radiation, moisture, and temperature extremes, can also impact lifespan. Regular maintenance and inspections help identify and address potential issues early, further extending the service life. Cold shrink terminations are designed to provide reliable, long-term performance in demanding applications, making them a preferred choice for both medium and low voltage cable systems.
