Reliable Environmental Sealing for Decommissioned Cables
Decommissioning medium-voltage power lines requires complete moisture sealing and electrical insulation. Hangda Electric manufactures specialized cold shrink cable accessories designed for rapid cable isolation in 12/20kV and 18/20kV power distribution networks. Formulated from high-elasticity liquid silicone rubber, these pre-expanded elastomeric sleeves maintain continuous active radial force around severed ends, preventing partial discharge and moisture ingress.
Streamlined Termination Procedures
When field crews temporarily isolate or permanently seal redundant circuits, using a reliable cable abandonment kit eliminates torch open flames in hazardous underground vaults.
-
Pull the internal supporting spiral core to shrink the elastomeric tube over the cable end.
-
Achieve immediate IP68 submersible sealing without heating tools or specialist adhesives.
-
Maintain stable electrical performance across wide thermal variations.
Technical Superiority in Medium-Voltage Applications
Integrating stress control elements into each cold shrink cable joint protects medium-voltage XLPE cables against localized voltage gradients.
