Overview
Our Raychem MVFT Medium Voltage Fusion Tape is designed to combine the integrity of a silicone polymer with the versatility of a wraparound product. The fusion tape is quick and easy to install. Upon application the tape amalgamates the overlapped layers together, producing a complete seal. A single layer of fusion tape, two-thirds overlapped, will provide AC voltage withstand (flashover protection) to at least 15 kV increasing to 35 kV if a second layer is applied.
Although the Medium Voltage Fusion Tape will stick to itself and other insulating materials, it will not adhere to metal or porcelain, allowing easy removal for maintenance.
The fusion tape offers a simple and effective solution to the problems of retrofit insulation of busbars, particularly where existing equipment cannot be dismantled. It can be used for indoor and outdoor applications and is easily installed over a wide variety of shapes including complex connections.
