11kV 17.5kV 33kV Terminations – Heat Shrink 3 Core XLPE Outdoor – Nexans TTGE3
Nexans TTGE3 is a heat shrink cable termination for use outdoors and exposed to prolonged sunshine and other weather conditions – heat shrink is manufactured and tested to survive relative humidity, salinity and atmospheric pollution.
The heat shrinkable terminations are able to connect and terminate armoured 3-core polymeric (XLPE EPR) insulated cable with copper tape or wire screens to medium/high voltage electrical equipment or overhead poles and are widely used in power utilities and in industrial applications up to 33kV.
Heat shrink terminations meet the requirements of CENELEC HD 629.1 and IEC 60502-1 for the termination of medium/high voltage cables in the following voltage classes:
- 6/10 (12) kV
- 6.35/11 (12) kV
- 8.7/15 (17.5) kV
- 12/20 (24) kV
- 12.7/22 (24) kV
- 18/30 (36) kV
- 19/33 (36) kV
