Details
Highlights
- Inline splice for joining JCN, flat strap neutral, tape shield and LC cables
- Special-electrode design reduces electrical stress at critical cable and splice interface
- Designed for feeder and distribution circuits, size transition splicing, direct-burial installations and submerged locations
- Rated for 15 kV applications
- Withstands a temperature range of 221 to 284 °F (105 to 140 °C)
The 3M™ Cold Shrink QS4 Integrated Splice Kit is a premier offering that utilizes field-proven 3M™ Cold Shrink QS-III Splice Body with additional features that make installation quick and easy. This product integrates all of the layers of a shielded power cable splice into one compact joint.
The 3M™ Cold Shrink QS4 Integrated Splice Kit includes an easy-to-use yellow core and rejacketing tube. It incorporates a smooth-edged shield sock (non-fraying ends) with optional customizable ground braid. The Shielded Power (SP) inline splice kits below are designed for joining Jacketed Concentric Neutral (JCN), Flat Strap Neutral, Tape Shield and Longitudinally Corrugated (LC) power cables. The splice includes a 4 AWG, four-foot long integrated ground braid for attaching to an external ground (factory installed ground braid extends approximately four feet beyond the end of the rejacketing after installation). Note: Cable sizes shown below are for standard insulation thickness. Final determining factor is cable insulation O.D. *If using a 3M™ Shearbolt Connector QCI Series for 500 kcmil to 500 kcmil splices, use the QS4-15SP-QCI-500-750-BCA kit or the QS4-15SP-500-1000-BCA kit with the QCI 350-750 connector purchased separately.
Suggested applications
- For splicing 15 kV shielded power cables
- For inline splicing
