5.3 Notes d'installation
- Cable Pre-treatment
Clean cable surface thoroughly with 3M CC-2 cleaning kit.
Smooth transition at shield cutting position to avoid corona discharge.
- Étapes d'installation
QTII series: Install branch sealing & stress mastic first, then termination body.
QTIII series: Integrated design, no extra stress mastic needed, simpler installation.
- Safety Regulations
Installers must hold valid medium voltage cable construction qualification.
Ensure cable de-energized and grounded before work.
- Quality Control
Conduct insulation resistance test and partial discharge test after installation.
Record installation date and test data for later maintenance.
- Difference between QTII and QTIII Series
QTIII is 3rd generation technology, grease-free, lower partial discharge (≤5pC), easier installation; price about 20% higher than QTII.
- How to select correct insulation outer diameter range
Measure actual cable main insulation outer diameter, select the smallest model covering the measured size to ensure sufficient radial compression.
- Interchangeability of indoor and outdoor types
Outdoor type can be used indoors; indoor type cannot be used outdoors (no rain shed, insufficient protection).
- Difference for copper core vs aluminum core cable
3M medium voltage cold shrink terminations fit both copper and aluminum conductors without special model selection.
