Over the last three decades, engi-neers in utilities and industry aroundthe world have specified million’s ofRaychem cable terminations atdistribution voltages up to 36 kV.Raychem terminations have becomeidentified with reliability because oftheir unparalleled long-term perfor-mance – where it really counts – inthe field. Today there are manychanges influencing the distributionof power at medium voltages. Forexample, the transition to new typesof polymeric cable, distribution athigher voltages, and the widespreadusage of compact switchgear.
Anticipating these industry changes,we have continued to extend andimprove the product range, based onthe extensive experiece both in thefield and at our outdoor test sites inpolluted and desert environments.Now these developments are incorporated in a new generation ofRaychem heat-shrinkable cable termi-nations, that are even easier to selectand install, without compromisingthe reliability of proven materialstechnology. The improved system issimple to use, because the basic ter-mination components and installationsteps are the same – even if your net-work operates with voltages of 7.2 to36 kV; if you use 12 kV belted papercable and 24 kV water-blocked singlecore polymeric cable; whether youmake equipment connections in acable box or in compact switchgear.Let’s review the main advantages ofthe improved system:
Universal Selection Procedure• Simplifield selection table allows
quick selection based on conductorcross section and voltage class foreither polymeric or MIND paperinsulated cables (For MI draining oilcables, contact your local represen-tative)
• Simple modification codes permiteasy specification of optional accessory kits
• Enhanced range-taking abilitymeans that one kit fits more con-ductor sizes, reducing stockingrequirements
• Unlimited shelf life allows stockingof economic quantities withoutproduct spoilage
Simplifield Cable Preparation• Improved treatment of screen cut
back is compatible with all state ofthe art screen removal techniques
• No tapering of insulation required • No polishing of polymeric insulation
surface• No special preparation of sectored,
or eccentric conductors, or of cablethat is curved after unreeling fromthe cable drum
• Cable preparation steps are similarto those for Raychem joints
Simplified Installation • Components are lightweight and
non-shattering • Clear instruction sheets • Common installation procedure for
polymeric and MIND paper cables • Factory engineered kit permits rapid
on-site installation • No mechanical stress at insulation
screen cutback • Termination accommodates same
bending radius as cable • Visual confirmation of correct
assembly sequence possible afterinstallation
• Rain skirts can be installed to alloweither top or bottom feed
• No soldering of earthing accessoriesrequired
Outstanding Long-Term Reliability • Fully sealed against water ingress
from the environment or from withinthe conductor strands
• Polymeric materials load cycle withthe cable without mechanically stressing termination components and sealants
• Unsurpassed performance in polluted environments, proven over three decades.

The Raychem termination system is compatible with all types ofarmoured cable. The system includes a completerange of solderless accessories forearthing insulation screens and cable armour and for grounding lead sheaths. Also available are insulators and support brackets, insulating boots for equipment connections and glands for easyentry to cable boxes. For more details please refer to theEPKT (EPP-0282/2) and I(O)XSU-F (EPP-0795 & 0782) Terminationbrochures. You can ask for our capability brochure (EPP-1102) thatexhibits all product families.

All of the above information, including drawings, illustrations and graphic designs, reflects our present understanding andis to the best of our knowledge and belief correct and reliable. Users, however, should independently evaluate the suitabilityof each product for the desired application. Under no circumstances does this constitute an assurance of any particular qualityor performance. Such an assurance is only provided in the context of our product specifications or explicit contractualarrangements.

All our indoor terminations for poly-meric or paper insulated cables can be used with RICS (RaychemInsulated Connection System). The RICS, fully insulated, right-angleand straight adapters make it easy toconnect any type of cable to moderncompact electrical equipment. A special RICS, accommodating aZnO Surge Arrester is now availableas well as a low profile, one piececable termination (IXSU-F), designedspecifically for applications with verylimited clearances between phases.
We offer the universal jointing system for all types of paper andpolymeric cable up to 36 kV. Thesame system allows transition jointsbetween different tree-core papercable and transitions from paper topolymeric cables. Trifurcations withany combination of cables are alsoeasy with the Raychem jointing system.
For more information about jointsand terminations up to 170 kV andother problem-solving products, callyour local representative. We havefield sales offices and offer technicalsupport around the world.
