Insulating boots are moulded parts which are shrunk over the connection between the cable lug and bushing to insulate them. They are used in switchgear and transformers with compound filled boxes where the clearances are insufficient for operation in air or to protect against flash over due to rodents or extreme humidity.
A full range of insulating boots are available up to 17.5 kV. These can be ordered separately by quoting the part number or with the termination by adding a mod code to the end.
Example:
EPKT-17C3MOH3-B07 (This kit comes complete with straight boots)
