Scotch® Electrical Semi-Conducting Tape 13 is a 30 mil, highly conformable, semi-conducting EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) based high-voltage splicing tape. It is non-vulcanizing and shelf stable, with stable conductivity over a wide temperature range. Use to electrically round out high-voltage connectors and to bond to insulating materials to minimize electrical stresses. Tape continues the semi-conducting strand shielding found in solid dielectric (polyethylene, XLP, EPR, etc.) cables at 5 kV and above. It provides shielding for cable joints on solid dielectric insulated power cables (shielded or concentric neutral). It also replaces semi-conducting layer beneath metallic shield of similar cables in case of damage (screening). Use Scotch® Electrical Semi-Conducting Tape 13 to make conductive portion of stress cone of power cable termination on solid dielectric insulated power cables. Tape maintains a positive connection between concentric neutral semi-conducting jackets of power cables and semi-conducting surfaces of plug-in units. It establishes a more positive contact between concentric neutral wires and pre-molded devices already installed with too much jacket exposed. This tape retains its conductivity with stretch. It offers excellent performance with the most solid dielectric cable insulations and conductors. Scotch® Electrical Semi-Conducting Tape 13 is usually wrapped in half-lapped layers. Highly elongate tape when overwrapping connectors, terminal lugs, and near edges of cable metallic shield, semi-conducting cable tape and semi- conducting jackets. Note: Stretching Scotch 13 Tape increases its conductance and will not harm it in any way. Caution: Scotch® Electrical Semi-Conducting Tape 13 is not oil resistant. It should not be used in splicing and terminating cables which contain oil or slippery compounds as part of dielectric such as PILC or VCLC. RoHS Compliant.
