E/Fusing Tape™ is a self-fusing silicone rubber that functions as a Class “H” insulation material. The tape, when wrapped on itself, creates a uniform, inseparable cohesive thickness. Flexible cable, bus and connector insulation is easily applied with essential 2/3’s overlap on the tape. T&D equipment can be taped to form a void-free system of electrical protection which is durable under extreme conditions offered only by silicone.

E/Fusing Tape™'s self-bonding properties make application a snap, and offers the following: 15kV phase-to-ground insulation when applied in a 2/3 overlap within 10% stretch, 30kV or more phase-to-ground insulation can be achieved by a subsequent application.Less voltage strength can be achieved by varying the overlap width. E/Fusing Tape™ also offers resistance to: heat, moisture, chemicals, corrosives, fire and abrasion.

Keeping in mind that E/Fusing Tape™ will stretch and bond to itself, any odd shape can be covered in a void-free manner. Having a void-free insulated surface is key to long-term avoidance of animal caused outages. It is important to use a 2/3” overlap and not stretch beyond 10%.

The use of E/Fusing Tape™ instead of vinyl or heat shrink tapes will allow the utility to have one product that can insulate against animal outages to house services.

E/Fusing Tape™ can be used for:
  • Wildlife Protection
  • Wire Harnessing
  • Bus Bar Insulation
  • Automatic Splices
  • Transformer Insulation
  • Terminal Splicing
  • Rigging Tape
  • Pot Head Terminations
