The E/TAPE range from Midsun® includes a number of highly arc-resistant adhesive tapes. Composed of self-melting inorganic silicone rubber wound on a film that is easy to separate and tear, it provides excellent electrical insulation protection from phase to earth, with no leakage, for any connector, bus or cable up to 75kV.
Description
The E/TAPE roll is a silicone tape for bird protection on high-voltage cables, resistant to electric arcs and providing phase-to-earth insulation. It requires no glue or heating to apply, and can be adapted to any type of connector, busbar or cable up to 75 kV.
Description of the Midsun® E/TAPE AVIFAUNE range:
Self-fusing inorganic silicone rubber compound
Standard colour grey, other colours available on request
Insulation level: 15 to 75 kV phase to earth
UV, arc, ozone and dielectric resistance
High thermal endurance over a long period
Primary insulation for class H temperatures (180°C)
Tensile strength: 450%.
Dielectric strength: 34 448 kV/m
The self-adhesive properties of the tape make it extremely easy to apply to flexible cables, extension joints and irregularly shaped connectors (see Use and Maintenance tab). The customised formulation helps protect against heat (FR level), mould, rust and the elements, while maintaining essential electrical properties to prevent animal-induced faults over the long term.
E/TAPE is available in a range of widths to facilitate application to all sizes:
Length: 10.9 m
Width: 25 mm / 63 mm / 101 mm
