Properties

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

WG can be used on cables with a rated operating temperature up to 105°C, and an emergency

overload rating of 140˚C. A splice constructed from this kit is rated for 15 kV and meets or exceeds

the requirements of IEEE Std. 404. The current rating of the splice meets or exceeds the current

rating for the cables on which it is installed. BIL rating is 150 kV, which exceeds the normal 110 kV

BIL rating for a 15 kV voltage class.
