Airshrink | CiP Medium Voltage Cold Shrink Termination: Flameless Installation and Reliable Performance
In mining, industrial, utility, and infrastructure environments, the reliability of medium voltage cable terminations is critical to maintaining network performance and operational uptime. Airshrink | Cable Installation Products (CiP) medium voltage cold shrink termination provides a safe and efficient solution for terminating medium voltage power cables while delivering long-term insulation, sealing, and mechanical protection.
Unlike heat shrink systems, cold shrink technology requires no flames, torches, or external heat sources during installation. The termination uses a pre-expanded elastomeric sleeve mounted on a removable support core. Once positioned, the core is removed, allowing the sleeve to recover uniformly around the cable and create a secure, weather-resistant seal.
Simplified Installation
A typical cold shrink termination system consists of:
- Cold shrink insulation sleeves
- Stress control components
- A breakout boot (for 3 core applications)
- Bi-metal torque shear lugs (when specified)
- Sealing mastics
- Earth braids for screen and/or bonding purposes
Installation involves cable preparation, lug installation, earthing and sealing, positioning of the cold shrink components, and removal of the support cores to complete the termination.
Benefits for Mining and Industry
Cold shrink technology offers several advantages in demanding operating environments:
- No heat or open flame required
- Fast and straightforward installation
- Consistent sealing pressure around the cable
- Excellent resistance to moisture ingress
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor applications
- Reduced reliance on the installer heating technique
- Lower risks associated with hot-work procedures
These benefits are particularly valuable for mining operations where safety, reliability, and installation efficiency are key considerations.
Designed for Harsh Environments
Mining and industrial facilities are frequently exposed to dust, moisture, UV radiation, vibration, and temperature variations. The elastomeric insulation continuously applies radial pressure to the cable surface, helping maintain a reliable seal throughout the service life of the installation.
This provides dependable electrical and environmental performance while reducing the potential for moisture-related failures.
Typical Applications
- Surface and underground mining operations
- Medium voltage switchgear
- Transformers and substations
- Distribution networks
- Motor connections
- Underground cable systems
- Renewable energy installations
- Data centre infrastructure
- Industrial processing facilities
- Water treatment and pumping stations
- Utility and infrastructure projects
