3M™ 5535A Series Cold Shrink QS-III Splice Kit is an inline splice designed to join 35kV tape shield, wire shield, UniShield® or longitudinally corrugated shielded power cables. The cold shrink design fits type MV-90/MV-105 cables with copper or aluminum conductors, and ensures a quick installation and excellent cable size transitions. The kit is 15,000 amps-rated for faults current protection.
Each splice is high-voltage production tested to ensure reliability. The splices can be used with standard copper (Cu) or aluminum (Al/Cu) inline compression (crimp type) connectors, and can be used for size transitions within the listed kit size range. They are designed to exceed minimum industry test standards, and have a BIL rating of 250 kV (equal to a 46 kV voltage class). The 3M™ Cold Shrink QS-III Splices 5535A and 5536A meet or exceed the 35 kV Voltage Class rating requirements of IEEE 404. Kits can be ordered with connectors packed in the kit, or the kit and connector can be ordered as separate items. Each kit makes one splice. Note: Cable sizes shown below are for standard insulation thickness. Final determining factor is cable insulation O.D.
