Scotch Electrical Semi-Conducting Tape 13 is a highly conformable, semi-conducting EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) based high-voltage splicing tape. It is nonvulcanizing and shelf stable, with stable conductivity over a wide temperature range. Its conductivity is not affected, except by low-viscosity oils. The conductivity of cable semiconducting jackets is not affected by Scotch Electrical Semi-Conducting Tape 13.
FEATURES:
Semi-conducting (low resistivity)
Retains conductivity with strength
Elongates easily to conform to irregular shapes
Stable at elevated temperatures (130°C / 266°F)
Compatible with most solid dielectric cable insulations and conductors
Excellent resistance to cracking or checking from solvents, UV, or moisture
Compatible with high-voltage splicing and terminating materials
Usable for indoor or outdoor applications
Meets requirement of ASTM-D-4388, Type IV
APPLICATIONS:
To electrically round out high-voltage connectors and to bond to insulating materials to minimize electrical stresses
Continue semi-conducting strand shielding found in solid dielectric (polyethylene, XLP, EPR, etc.) cables at 5 kV and above
Provide shielding for cable joints on solid dielectric insulated power cables (shielded or concentric neutral)
Replace semi-conducting layer beneath metallic shield of similar cablesin case of damage (screening)
Make conductive portion of stress cone of power cable termination on solid dielectric insulated power cables
Maintain positive connection between concentric neutral semi-conducting jackets of power cables and semi-conducting surfaces of plug-in units
Establish a more positive contact between concentric neutral wires and pre-molded devices already installed with too much jacket exposed
Round out bolted connections on insulated bus bars
