2 SCOTCH SUPER 33+ PREMIUM TAPE HEAT SHRINK PRODUCTS THAT WON T BURN A HOLE IN YOUR POCKET! FUTURE PROOF WITH LS CABLE & SYSTEM S FLAME RETARDANT RANGE Super 33+ Tape is the flagship product in our premium tapes range and is power utility approved. Having invented the world s first insulation tape, 3M with the Scotch 33+ tape set the standard for quality, efficiency, durability and versatility. The tape functions specifically well at colder temperatures and with its elasticated memory properties it dramatically outperforms cheaper alternatives. NEW FEATURE + APPLICATIONS Flame retardant Designed with an elastic backing and an aggressive adhesive, to provide a moisture-tight electrical and mechanical protection with minimum bulk Excellent resistance to abrasion, moisture, alkalis, acids, corrosion and varying weather conditions (including ultraviolet exposure). Designed for continuous performance at temperatures ranging from 18 C (0 F) to 105 C (220 F). Conforms to BS 3924 and UL510. Available in size 19mm x 20m Applications Primary electrical insulation for all wire and cable splices rated up to 600v and 105 C. Protective jacketing for high voltage cable joints and repairs Harnessing of wire and cables NEW CABLE ACCESSORIES Full range of tinned Copper Lugs and Links, Line Taps, Bi Metals, PG Clamps. 1 ISSUE 28

3 ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY JOINTING WITH RAYTECH MAGIC GEL RAYTECH has developed an insulating and sealing polymeric gel with fast cross linking at normal room temperature. The Magic Gel kit contains two bottles of fluid, a small mixing basin and a spoon. Specially designed with Health and Safety in mind and to eliminate detrimental effects on the environment, the fluids combine in equal quantities to provide a non-toxic, re-enterable cable jointing gel - ideal for filling enclosures, boxes and terminal blocks etc. It is most suitable for anti corrosion protection, insulating and sealing applications. THE PRODUCT: Is non-toxic and safe Is suitable for installations up to 1kV and 120 degrees Celcius Has a very high resistance to natural aging Cross-links within 10 minutes, ready to use No shelf life MAGIC JOINTS A range of self-sealing, straight through and 30 degree branch joints are also now available for copper and aluminium single, 2, 3 and 4 conductor cables. Polymer insulation is provided by Raytech s two fluid Magic Gel system and can be used in place of cast resin. MAGIC JOINT CHARACTERISTICS: Non-toxic Self-sealing polymer insulation For 0.6-1kV voltages Guarantees protection of higher than IP68 Can be used in place of cast resin joints Permanently flexible Low exothermic peaks APPLICATION EXAMPLES SKY PLAST PREPARE THE CABLE JOINT FILL WITH GEL READY TO ENERGIZE FLAME-RESISTANT 2-COMPONENT PLASTIC For enclosing and insulating electrical and non-electrical components Can be used in place of insulation tape, heat shrink insulation and resin CHARACTERISTICS Non-toxic Insulating Plastic Permanently flexible and malleable Suitable for any thickness, size and profile Can be retrofit Good dielectric characteristics Cross-linkage in less than 5 minutes at room temperature Temperature-resistant from 190 C to 250 C THE MAGIC BOX FACTS Supported with 3 M25x1,5 cable glands Pre prepared Knock outs for cable glands and couplers PG and metric Great shock resistance Halogen free Self extinguishing Suitable for underground and submerged installations thanks to the use of Magic Fluid Suitable for vertical installation and filling Re-enterable even after long working intervals Non - toxic and safe for use No shelf life Cover can also be sealed using screws Installation temperature: -25 / +60 Working temperature: -60 / +180 APPROVALS CEI 23-48, IEC CEI and CEI EN Class 2 in accordance with CEI 64-8 Ingress protection higher than IP68 in accordance with IEC 529 Ingress halogen free in accordance with CEI EN Low cloudy fumes emission in accordance with CEI EN Fire and abnormal heat resistance: Glow wire test in accordance with EN Now available the smallest 3 core and 4 core break out boots on the market!

4 FUTURE PROOF YOUR NETWORK TODAY A FULL RANGE OF CABLE JOINTER AND ELECTRICIANS TOOLS AND TOOL BAGS ARCUS OF GERMANY - PIONEERS OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR & SAFETY TECHNOLOGY FOR MORE THAN 70 YEARS Featuring the NEW FS150 LV cable stripper set. Stripping heads and handle also sold separately. Purchase this complete jointers tool kit which covers from 25mm 11kV to 800mm 33kV (Order Code ) and receive 1 x IMS 20kV Handle and your choice of 4 x IMS 20kV stripping heads FREE! The FSI 150 cable strippers for LV uses the same cork screw technology as its big brother (IMS 20kV) and strips LV cables with ease. Just dial up the depth and attach the correct size stripping head. Ring connector Removing insulation All done and no knife in sight Arcus 2 piece Bi metal insulated shear head with insulated nylon head on the main conductor. Great when you don t want to cut the main on a single core cable or multi core cable. The cutting head of the nylon shear bolt creates the best contact with the main conductor available 5 ISSUE 28 ISSUE 28 6

5 We have 95mm AL main conductor with a 35mm Cu tap off. Our Top Jointer shows how easy it is to use the RAY T ECH Magic Y95 Joint in conjunction with an insulated ARCUS ring connector. Ring connector has been applied cable buffed and ready Use the Intercable reversible ratchet to shear the nylon head The Raytech body simply clips around the conductors and tape applied to hold in GEL while it sets Gel can be supplied in Bottles or 2 part bags Magic Gel is poured in as it is completely non - hazardous no special protective equipment is required Fill with Magic Gel to the top insert cap and energise. Can be completely submersed. Magic Gel Facts It is non- toxic and safe Fast in cross linking, which saves time It has low viscosity, and consequently it is very conformable It is re-enterable even after long working periods Stable with respect temperature variations It has extremely low exothermic peak, so that the materials in contact are not thermally stressed It has very high dielectric characteristics Also suitable for high depth installations, as its softness allows the transmission of the water pressure.
