Raychem elastomeric insulating boots are moulded parts which fit over the connection between the cable lug and the inline or rightangled equipment bushing to improve phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground insulation. They are used in switchgear and transformer cable boxes where the air clearances are insufficient for normal operation, or to protect against flashover due to rodents or high humidity. The non-tracking elastomeric housing has excellent erosion resistance, dielectric properties and environmental resistance, giving superb per-formance in areas of high humidity and electrical stress.
RCAB boots works in combination with all Raychem termination product lines including both elastomeric and traditional heatshrink technology. RCAB boots are quick and easy to install and do not require any taping of the bushing or the termination. The boot can easily be removed and reinstalled without the need for additional material or tooling, allowing access to the bushing connection for test purposes.
The insulating body is supplied in a 3-phase set complete with installation instruction. Fixing bolts, terminal stud and cable lugs are not included. Terminal studs with a M16 thread can be ordered separately as EXRM-1366. The adapter is to be used in combination Raychem teminations.
