40 MM OVERLAP ON BOTH SIDES
22.
Using a roll of grey silicone tape (17),
overwrap half layers from 40 mm (1 3/5 in.)
over the end of the heatshink to 40 mm (1
3/5 in.) over the coupling so that it covers
the joint between the main coupling and
compression nut.
Using the second roll of grey silicone tape
(17), overwrap half layers from 40 mm (1 3/5
in.) over the end of the heatshink to 40 mm
(1 3/5 in.) over the cable outer sheath at the
lower end of the termination (refer to Figure
13).
Wrap with moderate tension (10 to 50%
stretch). Apply one final layer with no
stretch. Press down, to avoid the end lifting
before fusion of the tape takes place.
The finished termination must be protected
against any abrasion and sharp edges during
transport or installation, as the heatshrink
insulation is susceptible to ripping or tearing
if nicked or scuffed.
23.
The structure bonding braid MUST be
electrically connected via a 6 mm
2
(8 AWG)
length of insulated copper cable to the
specified conductive structural point, as
described in the nVent ERICO SYSTEM 3000
Installation, Operation & Maintenance
Manual.
