| 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™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.
