Raychem MV surge arresters (up to 52 kV) are metal-oxide (ZnO), gapless protective devices used to safeguard medium-voltage power systems from lightning and switching overvoltage. They use MOV (metal oxide varistor) technology with no spark gaps, giving fast response and better protection levels. The arresters have polymeric (silicone rubber) housing, which is moisture-resistant, pollution-resistant, and non-shattering. Designed as per IEC…
Raychem RPG Electrical Insulating Gloves are safety gloves designed to protect workers from electric shock and arc-flash hazards while working on energized electrical equipment. They are made from high-quality insulating rubber and comply with international safety standards such as IEC 60903 and EN 60903.
Superior Environmental Sealing:Raychem sleeves often feature an internal adhesive lining (such as hot-melt adhesive) that melts when heated, providing a waterproof, airtight, and corrosion-resistant seal for cable joints, splices, and repairs. High-Performance Material:They are typically made from radiation-crosslinked polyolefin, which offers exceptional resistance to abrasion, chemicals, and mechanical stress, making them durable in harsh environments. Versatile Shrink Ratios:They possess high…
Installation Tips Heat Application: A hot air gun is used to shrink the tape, typically requiring temperatures over 200°C for specialized tapes like RT-555, the adhesive flows to bond layers together sealing the assembly.
Quick Tips When working on energized equipment, always use gloves with a class rating above the system’s voltage. For arc flash hazards, use composite/arc-rated gloves designed to withstand specific arc energy levels. Use leather over-gloves for mechanical protection (abrasion, puncture). Store and handle insulating gloves carefully to avoid damage. Periodic dielectric testing is required to maintain safety certification. Electrical gloves…
