Below T&D have compiled a selection of 3M industry segment Blogs. We highlight jointing solutions that can be offered for a range of industries and cable types including mining, utilities, rail, construction, offshore and oil & gas.
Since 1985, T&D have stocked and supplied 3M Scotchcast Cable Joints - we have watched many resin cable joint kit suppliers come and go in that time but 3M Scotchcast Joints have evolved into the cable joint of choice by electrical engineers and specifiers.
The new design of 3M Scotchcast LV Resin Cable Jointing Kits features safer mould bodies and resin delivery system. Safer cable joints. +
* One part cable joint mould construction with top seal and fixing clips - simpler cable jointing installation process, less resin leakage. Simpler cable joints.
* Fully integrated cable jointing resin delivery system - reduces resin wastage, skin contact and vapour inhalation by cable jointers. Economical cable joints.
* Range taking foam seals at each end of the cable joint mould - sawing and taping the ends of the joint mould can be eliminated. Versatile cable joints.
* Earth method - to avoid awkward manipulation of armour wires while trying to fit worm drive clips over the cable support rings, 3M have chosen to use constant force springs for earthing. Faster cable joints.
Lets begin with some "refresher" Training demonstrating the jointing of power cables in both industrial and hazardous areas
