1. Product Description

3M] 5550 Series Cold Shrink] Rubber Splicing Kits are

designed for splicing 5/8 kV shielded and non-shielded, solid

dielectric, power cables. Each kit contains all the materials

(except connectors) required to construct 3 single-conductor

splices on tape shield, wire shield, UniShield] or

non-shielded cables. The kits are sized to fit cables with

copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 6 AWG to

1000 kcmil.

The splices are designed for use with Scotchlok] 10,000,

11,000 and 20,000 Series Inline Compression Connectors, or

any UL listed inline compression connector meeting the

dimensional requirements for maximum connector lengths

listed in the table found in section 2B of this reference.

Optional Grounding Accessory:

GS Series Ground Strap Assembly for use if splices are to be

individually grounded (not included with splice kit).

Features:

Complete kit: Everything included to make 3 splices (except

connectors).

Cold Shrink] Insulator and Jacket: Factory formed EPDM

installs quickly and void free.

Factory formed components: No thickness measuring

necessary.

Constant Force Spring: No soldering required for shield

ground connections.

Shielding Braid Sleeve: Single component provides 2

functions, metallic insulation shield and ground jumper.

No special tools required for installation.

2. Applications

3M 5550 Series Cold Shrink] Rubber Splicing Kits can be

used on cables with a rated operating temperature of 90C

and an emergency overload rating of 130C. Splices

constructed from these kits are rated for 5/8 kV and meet the

applicable requirements of IEEE Standard 404–1986.

To splice 5/8 kV shielded power cables:

For inline splicing.

For solid dielectric (XLP, EPR, HMPE) cables.

For 6 AWG to 1000 kcmil.

For copper or aluminum conductors.

For direct burial.

For indoor or outdoor locations.
