Cold Shrink Technology

Conductors can be terminated using Pfisterer Sicon type mechanical shearbolt cable lugs which are approved and compatible with 3M Cold Shrink Terminations – cable lug designs including hexagonal, or deep indent crimping/compression are also accommodated.

96-AD632-1 (Joint) and 96-EP720-2 (Termination) are approved by UK DNO’s NPG and WPD.

Cold Shrink

Termination Benefits

Installing cable terminations quickly and easily
Reduced potential cable jointer error using Cold Shrink
Replaces heat shrink – no heat, flame or cable jointers gas torches required
Lightweight for safer and easier termination installation

66kV Terminations | Stocked in the UK By Thorne & Derrick | Overnight Delivery

The inner refractive stress control layer and the silicone insulation layer are co-extruded during the manufacturing process. The cold shrink termination is designed to accommodate all available cable lug designs including, hexagonal or deep indent crimp, as well as mechanical shearbolt type including Pfisterer Sicon brand.

Sicon cable lugs are short circuit tested for use on high voltage cables and networks up to 72kV and are electrically/mechanically type-tested in accordance with IEC 61238-1 class A.
