3M™ Motor Lead Splicing Kits

5300 Series

For 1000 Volts or Less Cables or 5/8 Shielded and

Non-Shielded Cables

Data Sheet July 2010

Description

3M™ Motor Lead Splicing Kits 5300 Series are a series of kits designed for splicing motor

lead cables to incoming feeder cables. These kits can accommodate the following splice

configurations:

 Pigtails (stub) connections, 1000 Volts and less.

 Inline connections, 1000 Volts and less.

 Pigtail (stub) connections, 5/8 kV shielded and non-shielded feeders.

 Inline connections, 5/8 kV shielded and non-shielded feeders.

 In addition, splice kits 5300 – 5319 are CSA certified for motor lead applications up to

600 Volts.

The splice’s main component, the lug or splice cover, is made from EPDM rubber either as

a slip-on or as a cold shrink insulator. A mastic is used for the moisture seal on the pigtail

kits. The 5/8 kV kits designed for shielded feeder cables utilize a high dielectric constant

(K) stress control material or the feeder cable’s electrical stress control. These kits are

designed to be used with copper compression, one or two hole lugs. After being crimped

onto the cables, the lugs are bolted together in an inline or pigtail configuration, then

insulated and sealed with the 3M motor lead splicing kits. Each kit contains all the

necessary materials (except lugs) needed to make three splices. The lugs must be

purchased separately. 3M™ Scotchlok™ Copper Lugs 30,000 Series, or other UL listed

copper lugs, can be used.

Features

 Fast and simple installation

 No torches or heat source required

 No special tools required to install splice

 Thick walls to resist puncture and abrasion damage

 High Dielectric constant stress control included with 5/8 kV kits for shielded feeder

cables, for minimizing size and electrical stress

 Easy re-entry.
