Description

The 3M™ Cold Shrink QS-III Splice Kits 5467A, 5467A-WG, 5468A and 5468A-WG are

35 kV-class inline splices for joining jacketed concentric neutral (JCN) 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 from 1/0 AWG to

1000 kcmil (60 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 250 kV (equal to a 46 kV

voltage class). The Cold Shrink QS-III Splice Kits 5467A, 5467A-WG, 5468A and

5468A-WG meet or exceed the 35 kV Voltage Class rating requirements of ANSI/IEEE

Std. 404.
