With millions of installations throughout the world, Raychem heat-shrink cable terminations for up to 36kV are acknowledged to be more reliable and quicker to install than conventional systems.
Consistent performance in extreme temperatures, atmospheric pollution and ultra-violet light has proven the insulating and sealing ability of Raychem terminations for more than 35 years.
TKN/TKU heat-shrink termination as key product line of Raychem heat-shrink cable accessory, specially designed for ASEAN region power system applications. It employs advanced technology and features same with EPKT, APKT termination, has been widely used in ASEAN market, especially in Malaysia.
Features & Benefits
General Instructions
Use a propone (preferred or a butane gas torch.
Adjust the torch to obtain a soft blue flame with a yellow tip. Pencil-like blue flames should be avoided.
Keep the flame moving continuously to avoid scorching the material.
Clean and degrease all parts that will come into contact with the sealant.
If solvent is used follow the manufacturer’s handling instructions.
Tubing should be cut smoothly with a sharp knife leaving no jagged edges.
The stress control tubing (black) should never be cut.
Start shrinking the tubing and moulded parts at the position recommended in the instructions.
Tubing should be smooth and wrinkle free with profile of inner components clearly defined.
Cable Preparation
Cable with Wire Shields.
Remove the oversheath to the dimension L + K.
Clean and degrease the the end of the oversheath for about 100mm.
Wrap one layer of the red sealant mastic, with a small overlap and slight tension, around the end of the oversheath for 60mm.
Bend the shielding wires back onto the oversheath, Avoid crossing the individual wires. Fix the wires with a wire binder 60mm from the end of the oversheath, Twist the the shielding wires together to form an earth lead.
Thoroughly remove the insulation screen to the dimension given in drawing “A” so that the insulation surface is free from all traces of conductive material.
Note: Do not score or nick the insulation!.
Cable with Metal Tape Shields.
Remove the oversheath to the dimension L + K.
Clean and degrease the end of the oversheath for about 100mm.
Thoroughly remove the insulation screen to the dimension given drawing “B”so that the insulation surface is free from all traces of conductive material.
Note: Do not score or nick insulation!.
