CEI EN IEC 62677-3-103 PDF

This part of IEC 62677 is applicable to heat shrinkable low and medium voltage moulded shapes, conductive, in a range of configurations suitable for environmental sealing, mechanical protection, strain relief for power cable terminations, joints and stop ends. These moulded shapes have been found suitable for use for temperatures between -40 ºC and 100 ºC.

The moulded shapes can be supplied with a pre-coated adhesive. A guide to adhesive compatibility and temperature performance is given in Annex A. The manufacturers/suppliers can be consulted for options.

Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However, the selection of a material by a user for a specific application will need to be based on the actual requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this specification alone.

The tests specified are designed to control the quality of the moulded shapes but it is recognized that they are designed to be used in low and medium voltage cable accessories and as such electrical performance will be proven as part of the assembly. Examples of this are described in EN 50393, HD 629 and IEC 60502 (all parts).
