ENERGY /// COLD SHRINK TERMINATION (CSTI/CSTO)

COLD SHRINK TERMINATION (CSTI/CSTO)
For Polymeric Insulated Cables up to 42 kV

Raychem terminations CSTI/O cold shrink

terminations are made from a high performance,
liquid silicone material which is specially formulated
for excellent tracking and split resistance. The
extra-long, silicone stress cone is integrated within
the termination which ensures correct positioning.
Moisture sealing at the lug is integrated into the
termination body, eliminating the need for additional
sealing tapes.
They offer a reliable, fast and easy-to-install system to
ensure trouble free service and maintain high network
reliability. All key components are pre-expanded
on one holdout system, allowing neat installation in
compact environment on the prepared cable.
Raychem terminations CSTI/O are designed to cover
a wide range of applications and to accommodate
the variety of cable and conductor types used in the
networks. Range-taking, mechanical lugs ensuring
reliable installation and service can be supplied with
the kit.

Mechanical shear bolt connectors

Raychem terminations CSTI/O can be provided with

TE BLMT mechanical shear bolt lugs to ensure a
reliable connection for different conductor materials,
shapes and types used in today’s network. The pre-
set shear torque of the bolts ensures that the correct
contact pressure is always achieved. The specially
designed contact surface on the inside of the lug
breaks up any oxide layer and ensures reliable service
over the entire service life of the termination. Different
sizes of mechanical lugs with wide application ranges
are available. They have been tested in accordance
with IEC-61238-1 class A.
The installation shear-head bolts can be ruptured
manually by usage of ring spanner and or facilitated
by the usage of a cordless impact wrench supplied
(IT-1000-023).

Pre-expanded silicone termination body

The silicone termination body is delivered in a pre-

expanded condition on a spiral holdout system.
Silicone materials with excellent mechanical
properties allow high expansion forces and therefore
guarantee a wide application range. Integrated stress
control deflector and sealing mastic on the top end
of the termination provide exceptional electrical
performance. The termination body can be easily
removed from the spiral holdout with low release
forces, particularly designed for termination
applications.

Electrical stress control

Electrical stress control deflector is fully integrated

within the silicone termination body. Conductive cone
with an exactly defined geometrical design over the
screen cut area provide excellent electrical stress
control.

Cordless impact wrench

For the installation of mechanical connectors a

cordless impact wrench is available. For more details
see brochure EPP 1297.
