Description

The 3M™ Cold Shrink QS-III Splice Kits 5415A, 5416A, 5417A, 5417A-WG, 5418A and

5418A-WG are 15 kV-class inline splices for joining jacketed concentric neutral (JCN)

and concentric neutral (CN) power cables. They are a cold shrink design sized to fit

Type MV-90 or Type MV-105 cables with copper or aluminum conductor sizes ranging

from 2 AWG to 1000 kcmil (35 to 500 mm

). The cold shrink splice body is a one-piece

molded design made of specially formulated silicone rubbers, while the cold shrink

jacketing is made of EPDM rubber for physical protection. Each splice manufactured is

factory tested to provide reliability.

The splices can be used with standard copper (Cu) or aluminum (Al/Cu) inline

compression (crimp type) connectors or specified shearbolt connectors, and can be

used for size transitions within the listed kit size range. They are designed to exceed

minimum industry test standards, and have a BIL rating of 150 kV (equal to a 25 kV

voltage class). The Cold Shrink QS-III Splice Kits 5415A, 5416A, 5417A, 5417A-WG,

5418A and 5418A-WG meet or exceed the 15 kV Voltage Class rating requirements of

ANSI/IEEE Std. 404.
