Over 40 years ago, 3M pioneered cold shrink technology. Since then, field use and laboratory
analysis have repeatedly proven its merits and reliability. Through constant innovation, we have
refined cold shrink products making them better than ever. They’re easier to apply and built to
withstand some of the most punishing environmental conditions. Enhanced performance at a
lower installed cost continues to make 3M the preferred choice for cold shrink solutions.

Why move to 3M Cold Shrink?


• Fast, straightforward installation.
• No flame required.
• No special site permits needed.
• No cooling time needed before energising.
• Easier to use in enclosed areas.
• Constant radial pressure for optimised environmental performance.
• Less chance of damaging XLPE cable material.
• Extensive quality and factory testing programmes.

These cold shrink terminations are lightweight for either free-hanging or bracket mounting
arrangements. 3M offers you two options for choosing a cold shrink termination. The QT- III
termination utilizes the latest technology with built-in Hi-K stress controlling mastic and
environmental sealing mastic resulting in a much more user-friendly application that reduces
chances of errors.

3M™ Cold Shrink QT-II and QT-III Terminations are designed using 3M developed track-
resistant silicone rubber and Hi-K stress control material in conjunction with 3M’s unique cold
shrink delivery system.

Terminations are supplied prestretched on a removable core. Removal of the core by unwinding
after positioning the termination allows the product to shrink into position, providing a living seal.

QT-II and QT-III cold shrink silicone rubber is specifically formulated as a high track-resistant
material with hydrophobicity (water repelling action) and UV resistance to ensure a longlife
expectancy when properly installed.

The QT-II termination offers some of the same advantages as the QT-III termination but without
a few of the integrated features that the QT-III termination posesses. All terminations meet or
exceed IEEE 48, IEC 60502-4 and CENELEC 629-1 (replaced VDE 0278) requirements.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3M Heat Shrink Terminations up to 36KV, are
specially designed for conditions where the
terminations are exposed to precipitation, outdoor
sunlight, extreme climatic variances and heavily
polluted areas. The specially engineered kits also
take care of the typical partial discharge ans surface
corona phenomenon for all power cables under
challenging service conditions.

All components required for the termination are


included in a single kit, which has a prolonged
storage life under normal storage conditions. A few
sizes of the kits cover the entire range of cables,
helping in reducing inventories. The heat shrinkable
components are light in weight and are made of a
specially formulated cross-linked polymeric material
with excellent tracking and erosion resistance
characteristics. A proper creepage path is obtained
within a short overall length of the termination. The
kits have been designed to meet various international
standards like IS, HDE, IEEE, IEC and BS. Our state-
of-the-art manufacturing facility and in-house testing
laboratories and accreditation to the ISO 9001 quality
assurance standard, guarabtees the performance of
our materials to suit customer requirement.

3M Heat Shrink Terminations are available for both


indoor anf outdoor application. The terminations are
available for single core and multi core cable types.

Indoor terminations: components are designed to


withstand highhumidity and surface contamination
under electric stress caused due to condensation and
dust in internal conditions.

Outdoor terminations: components are designed to


withstand exposure to UV radiation, extreme climatic
variations and surface contamination under electric
stress caused due to condensation, pollution ans dust
in external condition.

PRODUCT APPILCATION
3M Heat Shrink medium voltage terminations
are available for tape/wire shielded, armoured/

3M™ QS 200
30 Medium Voltage Cable Accesories
PRODUCTION DESCRIPTION
The 3M QS 200 is a cold shrink, one-piece multilayer During the installation the ribbon core in unwound counter
silicone rubber splice body with integrated electode, clockwise, allowing the splicebody to shrink onto the cable
stress control device, insulation and outer semi- joint. The applied permanent radial pressure guarantees a
conductive layer. reliable function over the entire lifetime.
The 3M QS 200 silicone splice body is delivered on a
removeable plastic supporting core.

SPLICE BODY CONSTRUCTION


• The outer semi-conductive layer re-establishes
the cable screen.
• The insulation of the splice body replaces the cable
insulation across the entire splice.
• The integrated stress control element provides
the proper electric field distribution.
• The integrated, semi-conductive electrode forms
a faraday cage over the connector.

FEATURES
The versatile design of the prefabricated one-piece splice bodies allows installation on a wide range of cable sizes
and types.
• Designed to fit all standard mechanical and compression connectors.
• Cold Shrink technology ensures quick, easy and tool-free installation.
• Excellent material properties allow the installation of the cold shrink splice body at temperatures ranging from -20°C
to + 50°C.
• Meets and exceeds CENELEC standard HD 629, as well as IEC 60502-4
• The integrated, semi-conductive electrode forms a faraday cage over the connector and eliminated the use of tapes or
additional molded or metallic electrodes.
• No heat or flame is needed during splice body installation.
• Delivered mechanical connector provides an adequate application range.
• Solderless earth connection by means of copper screen sleeve and constant force springs.
• Thick walled, medium heat shrinkable outer re-jacketing tubes provide physical protection and moisture sealing of the
completed Inline Splices. They can be stacked together providing a short parking position on the cable.
• No special tools needed during splice installation.

The test loops were stored in a dry and clean condition for 3 hours before the test, at an
ambient temperature of about 20°C.
Afterwards the connection elements were made discharge free by use of shielding electrodes,
and a test A.C. voltage of 24 kV was applied and the maximum value of the partial discharge
intensity was measured within 1 minute.
Subsequently, the voltage was decreased to a test A.C. voltage of 15 kV and the
partial discharge intensity was repeated.

for about 3 hours, and the temperature was held constant during the test performance.
The test was performed with an impulse voltage of which the rise time was approx. 1.2 µs and
the half-value decay was approx. 50 µs.
The test loops were exposed to 10 impulses each with an impulse voltage of 125 kV and
10 impulses each with an impulse voltage of 150 kV of positive and negative polarity
between one conductor, the other grounded conductors and the screen.

Prior to the tests with positive and negative polarity, the test loops were exposed once to 50 %,

65 % and 80 % of the nominal impulse voltage.

Test under Salt Fog according to Section 13


( Test No. 19)

Test was conducted on a special test loop.

The test loop was stored in a humidity chamber in compliance with the specifications of
CENELEC HD 628.1 S 1/ 1996 and CENELEC HD 629.1 S 1/ 1996.

Average room temperature : approx. 20 °C

l
Quantity of sprayed water : 0.4 ± 0.1
m3h

Conductivity of 1600 ± 200 mS / m at 23 °C


sprayed water:

Test voltage during 15 kV rms. 50 Hz (between


humid storage : conductor and screen)

Overcurrent release : 1 ± 0.1 A

Test time : 1000 h

Requirements : No breakdown or flash-over.


Not more than three releases.
No fundamental damages.

Description: All test specimens show salt incrustations on the cable lugs
and feathery discharge traces on the surface of the termination, however,
they are not burnt in.

Result : The requirements are fulfilled.

Page 1 of Appendix 2 contains pictures of the test loop after test performance of 1000 hours.
