For 5/8 kV Shielded or Non-Shielded Power Cable Data Sheet Cold Shrink Rubber Splicing Kits 1. Product Description 3M  5550 Series Cold Shrink Rubber Splicing Kits are designed for splicing 5/8 kV shielded and non-shielded, solid dielectric, power cables. Each kit contains all the materials (except connectors) required to construct 3 single-conductor splices on tape shield, wire shield, UniShield or non-shielded cables. The kits are sized to fit cables with copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 6 AWG to 1000 kcmil. The splices are designed for use with Scotchlok 10,000, 11,000 and 20,000 Series Inline Compression Connectors, or any UL listed inline compression connector meeting the dimensional requirements for maximum connector lengths listed in the table found in section 2B of this reference. (UniShield is a registered trademark of BICC Cables). Kit Contents: (3 splices per kit) — 3 Cold Shrink Insulators — 3 Cold Shrink Splice Jackets — 3 Scotch  13 Electrode Wraps — 3 rolls Scotch 2228 Rubber Mastic Tape (except 5553 Kit which contains 6) — 3 rolls Scotch 13 Semi-Conducting Tape — 3 Shielding Braid Sleeves — 6 Constant Force Springs — 3 Cleaning Pad Kits — 1 roll Scotch 130C Tape — 1 roll Scotch 24 Shielding Tape — 3 Instruction Sheets Optional Grounding Accessory: GS Series Ground Strap Assembly for use if splices are to be individually grounded (not included with splice kit). Features: Complete kit: Everything included to make 3 splices (except connectors). Cold Shrink Insulator and Jacket: Factory formed EPDM installs quickly and void free. Factory formed components: No thickness measuring necessary. Constant Force Spring: No soldering required for shield ground connections. Shielding Braid Sleeve: Single component provides 2 functions, metallic insulation shield and ground jumper. No special tools required for installation. 2. Applications 3M 5550 Series Cold Shrink Rubber Splicing Kits can be used on cables with a rated operating temperature of 90C and an emergency overload rating of 130C. Splices constructed from these kits are rated for 5/8 kV and meet the applicable requirements of IEEE Standard 404–1986. To splice 5/8 kV shielded power cables: For inline splicing. For solid dielectric (XLP, EPR, HMPE) cables. For 6 AWG to 1000 kcmil. For copper or aluminum conductors. For direct burial. For indoor or outdoor locations.
