QTIII terminations offer easy installation and reliable performance when terminating indoor and outdoor medium voltage cables. QTIII is a one-piece silicone rubber termination, which is expanded and loaded onto a removable supporting core, which allows the termination to be installed without the need for tools or heat. The core is stepped to allow a greater application range for armoured cables. QTIII consists of a tubular silicone insulator, with a built in refractive stress control tube and compound, and a built in top seal. Due to this unique design the QTIII termination is installed in one operation without the need for any additional components.
QTIII terminations are suitable for use on polymeric cables medium voltage up to 52kV.
Both indoor and outdoor terminations are available for single core and three core cables. QTIII terminations have been tested in accordance with IEEE Std 48-1990, VDE 0278 Part 4 and IEC/CENELEC. Details of type tests are available upon request.
QTIII terminations are manufactured from silicone rubber, which has been specially formulated to enhance the properties required for MV terminations.
