Raychem Heat-shrinkable Termination System
for Cables up to 36 kV
The Raychem Universal Medium Voltage Termination System for

Polymeric and Paper Insulated Cables
Over the last three decades, engineers in utilities and industry around the world
have specified millions of Raychem cable terminations at distribution voltages
up to 36 kV.
Raychem terminations have become identified with reliability because of their
unparalleled long-term performance where it really counts in the field.
Today there are many changes influencing the distribution of power at medium
voltages. For example, the transition to new types of polymeric cable,
distribution at higher voltages, and the widespread usage of compact
switchgear.
Anticipating these industry changes, we have continued to extend and improve
the product range, based on the extensive experience both in the field and at
our outdoor test sites in polluted and desert environments. Now these
developments are incorporated in a new generation of Raychem heat-shrinkable
cable terminations, that are even easier to select and install, without
compromising the reliability of proven materials technology. The improved system is simple to use, because the basic termination components and installation steps are the same even if your network operates with voltages of 7.2 to
36 kV; if you use 12 kV belted paper cable and 24 kV water-blocked single core
polymeric cable; whether you make equipment connections in a cable box or in
compact switchgear. Lets review the main advantages of the improved system:
Features:
Universal termination family for
12-36 kV based on Raychem SCTM
stress control technology
All applications for polymeric and
MIND paper on 1-core, 3-core,
armoured and unarmoured cables
Red non-tracking Raychem HVOT
tubing provides excellent
environmental protection
Can be used in combination with
Raychem RICS / RCAB / RSRB
switchgear connection systems
Tested in accordance to CENELEC
HD.629.1.S2:2006 and IEC 60502-4
Universal selection procedure

Simplifield selection table allows quick selection based on conductor cross
section and voltage class for either polymeric or MIND paper insulated cables
(For MI draining oil cables, contact your local representative)
Simple modification codes permit easy specification of optional accessory kits
Enhanced range-taking ability means that one kit fits more conductor sizes,
reducing stocking requirements
Unlimited shelf life allows stocking of economic quantities without product
spoilage
Simplifield cable preparation
Improved treatment of screen cut back is compatible with all state of the 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 cable that is
curved after unreeling from the cable drum
Cable preparation steps are similar to 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 after installation
Rain skirts can be installed to allow either top or bottom feed
No soldering of earthing accessories required

range of solderless accessories for
earthing 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 easy entry to cable boxes.

A wide range of cable accessories
All our Raychem indoor terminations

for polymeric or paper insulated
cables can be used with Raychem
RICS (Raychem Insulated Connection
System).
The Raychem RICS, fully insulated,
right-angle and straight adapters
make it easy to connect any type of
cable to modern compact electrical
equipment.
A special RICS, accommodating a
ZnO Surge Arrester is now available
as well as a low profile, one piece
cable termination Raychem IXSU-F,
designed specifically for applications
with very limited clearances between
phases.
We offer the universal jointing
system for all types of paper and
polymeric cable up to 36 kV.
The same system allows transition
joints between different tree-core
paper cable and transitions from
paper to polymeric cables.
Trifurcations with any combination
of cables are also easy with the
Raychem jointing system.
For more information about joints
and terminations up to 170 kV and
other problem-solving products,
call your local representative.
