Product Overview


The 110kV Silicone Cover for Bare Cables represents a breakthrough in high-voltage cable protection, engineered to shield bare conductors in transmission and distribution networks from environmental stressors and electrical hazards. This lightweight yet robust silicone housing provides superior insulation, tracking resistance, and weatherability, ensuring reliable performance in demanding utility applications. Designed for quick installation on conductors up to 500 mm², it delivers long-term protection against UV radiation, abrasion, and chemical exposure in both overhead and underground installations.


Product Features


High-Voltage Insulation Performance

Constructed from high-purity silicone rubber, the cover achieves 10 kV/mm dielectric strength, exceeding industry requirements for 110kV applications . Its volume resistivity of 10¹² ohm·cm ensures minimal leakage current, maintaining insulation integrity even in high-humidity environments . The material's inherent tracking resistance prevents surface degradation from electrical discharges, extending cable service life.


Durable Material Properties

With a 65 Shore A hardness and 200% minimum elongation, the silicone cover balances rigidity with flexibility to withstand installation stresses and thermal expansion cycles . It resists ozone, oxidation, and UV degradation, maintaining physical properties after prolonged outdoor exposure. The cover's 4 N/mm² tensile strength and 10 N/mm² tear strength ensure resistance to mechanical damage during handling and operation .


Engineering for Utility Applications

Available in precision-machined dimensions for conductors ranging from 12 mm to 35 mm diameter, the cover provides a snug fit without compromising installation efficiency . Its 5 mm uniform wall thickness ensures consistent insulation performance across all conductor sizes . The lightweight design reduces installation fatigue and eliminates the need for heavy lifting equipment in overhead applications.
