Installation
Techniques
This tape should be applied in successive half-lapped level wound layers until desired build-up is
reached. It should be applied like any rubber tape; that is, the side of the tape wrapped inside the roll
should be applied outside on the splice (tacky side up). This will help prevent the roll from getting
progressively further away from the work area.
To eliminate voids in critical areas, highly elongate 130C tape. Stretch tape in critical areas just short
of the breaking point; doing so will not alter its physical or electrical properties. In less critical areas,
less elongation may be used. The tape should be stretched to a minimum of 3/4 its original width.
Always attempt to half-lap to produce a uniform buildup. When using 130C tape for splicing cable
above 15 kV, always highly elongate the tape throughout the entire splice. Techniques for proper
usage of 130C tape are contained in standard and special prints available though the “3M System
for Splicing and Terminating” program. These are available through the local 3M Electrical Products
Division representative.
