| E/Insulation™ is a minimum 20kV phase-to-ground flame and arc resistant cover up. Electrically insulating and made from High Temperature vulcanized Silicone; it is split for ease of application. The silicone of E/Insulation™ is the same type commonly used for polymer or non-ceramic insulators being sold today.
The cross section of E/Insulation™ allows the substation electrician or the distribution lineman
ease of application. The hose is simply pulled and split apart allowing it to be quickly slipped onto
round or angle substation cable or bus.
E/Insulation™ - Use E/Insulation size that ID fits the OD of bus. Use proper shape of E/Insulation (round, angle, T-shape or flat). Simply split silicone E/Insulation tube and wrap around bus or conductor. On horizontal bus face slit down to prevent water from entering. For E/Insulation over 3-feet long it is recommended that E/Fusing Tape be used to hold section in place. Midsun recommends that E/Insulation be used to allow for a minimum 18 to 20 inch clearance for phase to phase and phase to ground contacts.
Because E/Insulation™ is formed from High Temperature Vulcanized Silicone, it is very pliable at all temperatures, yet it is tough and robust to allow extremely rough handling, the abuse of line trucks and hundreds of on and off applications.
