1 State of the Art in Splicing and Terminating Power Cables Patrick Lyons Electric Power Sales, Inc.

2 What Makes the Product State of the Art? Improves the current industry norms Easier to install Longer life Fewer components Lower installed cost Smaller required installation space New technology Large use range Unlimited shelf life Tool free installations Re-enterable / re-useable

3 Applications for <1000V Protect mechanical Rigidity, mechanical strength, abrasion and tear resistance Seal - moisture & contaminants Adhesion to substrates, conforms to surfaces, fill voids, flows where needed Insulate - electrical insulation High resistance, meet minimum thickness

4 Current Technologies for <1000V Tape Wire nuts Cold-shrink Heat-shrink Epoxy / Resin Pre-molded boots

5 Romex Connector In-line and tap splices UL listed and NEC-approved for burial in the wall

6 1000V Applications PowerGel Technology Polymer network Invented by Raychem in the 1980 s Does not melt with heat Does not harden with cold Does not set up with time Excellent insulating properties Excellent sealing properties Shape memory Easily removed

7 PowerGel Technology Force PowerGel Wetting Action Gel Water Surface - Gel wets the surface applying a thin layer of silicon oil - Corrosion cannot occur without water & oxygen in contact with metal surface

8 PowerGel Products Gelcap Gelcap-SL

9 Gelwrap PowerGel Products GHFC GILS GTAP

10 PowerGel Products GELPORT Each port has a range # Sealed whether port used or not

11 Applications 5kV 35kV Create products that Meet the technical requirements Tool free Long term performance Easier / more forgiving installation Fewer components Large use range Short required installation space

12 Terminations 5kV-35kV TFT Pullcord free termination Cold-applied Eliminates hangups Eliminates breaking Allows repositioning after installation

13 Terminations 5kV-35kV HVT-Z One-piece Heat-shrink Easiest, fast installation No pullcord or holdout to yank out Shortest termination at 35kV No skirts required

14 Shear Bolt Connectors CSBS / ASBS Use range on connectors 2/0 500, No crimp tool required Socket wrench or impact wrench

15 CSJA Splices 5kV 35kV COLD-SHRINK All in One splice Accomodates all shields URD, copper tape, lead sheath, flat strap, wire shield, Unishield

16 CSJA Splices 5kV 35kV COLD-SHRINK All in One splice All required layers are on one splice body Minimal required installation space Only 39 required Maximum use range 2 kits cover #2 750 Cold-applied Available with shear bolt connector for tool free installation

17 HVS-C Splices 5kV 35kV HEAT-SHRINK Shortest required installation space Requires only 28 of length One piece inner sleeve Wraparound outer sleeve Superior water seal offered by heat-shrink Available with shear bolt connector for tool free installation

18 Stackable 600A Splices Typical installation Three 600A deadbreaks connected with connecting plugs

19 Stackable 600A Splices R-STACK Connecting plug integrated into deadbreak Takes up less space 4 less per 2 deadbreaks No special tools required No spanner wrench required Joints takes up less space Easier to install Stacked deadbreaks on transformer take up less space

20 R-Stack Equipment Connection

21 Stackable 600A Splices R-STACK

22 R-800 Deadbreak with integrated 200A loadbreak interface 200A tap plug integrated into back end of 600A deadbreak Takes up less space Fewer components Easier to install less chance of stripping threads Stacked deadbreaks on transformer take up less space

23 R-800 Deadbreak with integrated 200A loadbreak interface

24 SUMMARY Raychem and Richards Making products that are Easier to install More forgiving for the installer Perform better Require less special tooling (crimp tools, torches) Require less installation space Cover a maximum use range Come see our booth - #216
