Secure splicing

The manufacturer 3M has launched

its cold shrink QS4 integrated splice for

the construction and industrial market.

Originally introduced to the utility market

in 2013, the QS4 splice will integrate all of

the layers of a shielded power cable splice

into one compact joint, making installation

quick and easy.

Based on 3M’s QS-III cold shrink splice body

the QS4 splice is specifically designed

to meet IEEE standards, and features an

easy-pulling, smooth-edged yellow core

and a re-jacketing tube that eliminates

additional core and the need for grease.

A customizable, factory-installed ground

braid and fewer components further

reduce installation time.

Once installed, a cold shrink splice creates a

reliable electrical interface without sealants

or adhesives.

Each splice is tested for partial discharge

and1minuteACwithstandbefore shipping.

The complete QS4 portfolio includes splice

kits for 15, 25/28, and 35kV tape shield,

wire shield, UniShield

, longitudinally

corrugated, jacketed concentric neutral

and flat strap neutral power cables, and

covers conductor ranges up to 500mm
