HV Cable Accessories Raychem
Under the well-established brand names Guro and Raychem, Tyco Electronics offers a comprehensive range of HV cable accessories for all cable types. The most innovative utilities and industries including, mining, marine, and offshore around the world use these powercable accessories. Designed to withstand environmental extremes and high pollution levels over long operating lifetimes, they help maintain service reliability in both overhead and underground installations. These specially formulated insulation materials resist tracking and degradation caused by erosion, ultraviolet light and other environmental stresses. 10. CABLE JOINTS Suitable for all common polymeric cables - cross-bonding, shield break and external grounding arrangements are easily accommodated. Link boxes can be easily attached, adopting the network design requirement. Short installation time reduces outages, whilst extensive field experience and rigorous testing have proven the reliability of the technology used. 11. 52kV and 72kV TERMINATIONS Heat-shrink technology offers the reliability of 30 years of field performance with polymeric terminations. For higher voltage classes we offer 145kV to 170kV prefabricated joints and terminations for indoor and outdoor switchgear and transformers.

12. CATENARY INSULATORS: Strut and tension applications using either porcelain, polymeric or hybrid technologies in catenary applications. Customers can specify required impact strength, handling, pollution resistance, cleaning and mechanical loading. The range of products extends from 750V DC (mainly porcelain) up to 15/25kV AC (porcelain and polymeric) and also 50kV AC (hybrid). 13. PORTAL INSULATORS: High-strength Porcelain (C120) and Polymeric (E-glass or acid-resistant E-glass) cores designed for low deflection and single insulator support. A range of core diameters is available, based on long-term loading requirements, with housing, creepage and dry-arc distance as key design criteria. 14. SUBSTATION INSULATORS: Porcelain and Hybrid (porcelain core and polymeric housing) insulators for substation applications. Hybrids are generally specified where porcelain insulators have flashover issues or polymeric insulators have too much deflection under load in switching applications. Standard IEC or ANSI classifications are available.
