3M Cold Shrink QS-III Inline Splice Kits 15 kV 5415A, 5416A, 5417A, 5417A-WG, 5418A and 5418A-WG Data Sheet July 2013 Jacketed Concentric Neutral (JCN) 5415A, 5416A, 5417A, 5418A Concentric Neutral (JCN) 5417A-WG and 5418A-WG CAUTION Working around energized high-voltage systems may cause serious injury or death. Installation should be performed by personnel familiar with good safety practice in handling high-voltage electrical equipment. De-energize and ground all electrical systems before installing product. The 3M Cold Shrink QS-III Splice Kits 5415A, 5416A, 5417A, 5417A-WG, 5418A and Product 5418A-WG are 15 kV-class inline splices for joining jacketed concentric neutral (JCN) Description 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 2 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. 78-8125-9882-5 Rev C 1 of 9 3 3M Cold Shrink QS-III Inline Splice Kits 15 kV 5415A, 5416A, 5417A, 5417A-WG, 5418A and 5418A-WG Kit Contents for 1 3M Cold Shrink Silicone Rubber Splice Body 1 3M Cold Shrink Adapter Tube (2 adapters in the 5415A Kit) 5415A, 5416A, 1 3M Cold Shrink Jacketing Tube 5417A and 5418A 2 3M Red Compound Tubes P55/R 6 Scotch Mastic Sealing Strips 2230 2 Scotch Rubber Mastic Tape 2228 Rolls 1 Neutral Pad 1 3MCable Cleaning Pad CC-3 1 Cable Preparation Template 1 Instruction Booklet 1 3M Cold Shrink Silicone Rubber Splice Body Kit Contents for 1 3M Cold Shrink Adapter Tube 5417A-WG and 1 3M Cold Shrink Jacketing Tube 5418A-WG 2 3M Red Compound Tubes P55/R 2 Scotch Mastic Sealing Strips 2230 1 Cable Preparation Template 1 Instruction Booklet Cold Shrink Design for quick and easy installation excellent for cable size transitions Splice Features Complete Kit includes the required products to make one splice Silicone Rubber Construction for good high and low temperature performance Production Tested partial discharge and A.C. withstand tests to provide reliability Computer Aided Design for compact size and optimal distribution of electrical field Special Electrode Design minimizes electrical stress at critical cable/splice interface For splicing 15 kV shielded power cables: Applications For inline splicing For feeder and distribution circuits For jacketed concentric neutral cables (JCN) For concentric neutral cables (CN) For copper or aluminum conductors For use with standard inline crimp connectors For use with specified 3M Shearbolt Connectors QCI Series For size transition splicing For direct burial installations For submerged locations The 3M Cold Shrink QS-III Splice Kits 5415A, 5416A, 5417A, 5417A-WG, 5418A and 5418A- Physical and WG can be used on cables with a rated operating temperature up to 105C, and an emergency Electrical overload rating of 140C. A splice constructed from this kit is rated for 15 kV and meets or exceeds Properties 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. 2 of 9 78-8125-9882-5 Rev C
