MVFT MVCC
Medium Voltage Fusion Tape Medium Voltage Conductor Covers

FEATURES APPLICATIONS BENEFITS FEATURES APPLICATIONS BENEFITS

ƒƒ Self amalgamating
ƒƒ Designed to combine the integrity of
silicone polymer with the versatility of
a wraparound product
ƒƒ MVFT will stick to itself and other
insulating materials, but will not adhere
to metal or porcelain
ƒƒ Retrofit insulation of busbars
ƒƒ Insulation when existing equipment can
not be dismantled
ƒƒ Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
˜˜ Quick and easy to install
˜˜ Over-lapped layers amalgamate
together, producing a complete seal
˜˜ A single layer of MVFT tape, two-thirds
overlapped, will provide flashover
protection to at least 15 kV and
increases to 35 kV if second layer
is added
˜˜ Selective sticking allows for easy
removal for maintenance
ƒƒ Made from non-tracking silicone
material suitable for harsh medium
voltage outdoor environments
ƒƒ Covers are split for easy installation
ƒƒ Four sizes available which fit
conductors with diameters ranging up
to 1.75 inch
ƒƒ Substation ˜˜ Provide high quality electrical insulation
ƒƒ Suitable for up to 25 kV phase to for substation leads and jumpers
ground ˜˜ Flexibility allows installation on tight
bends
˜˜ Specifically designed to prevent
flashover caused by contact with birds
and animals
