Motor Lead Pigtail Splicing Kits

5380 Series

For 5/8 kV Shielded and Non-Shielded Cables

Data Sheet

Product Description

a series of kits designed for splicing motor lead

cables to incoming feeder cables. These kits can

accommodate pigtail (stub) connections, 5/8 kV

shielded and non-shielded feeders.

The splice's main component, the lug or splice cover,

is made from EPDM rubber as a slip-on insulator.

Mastic is used for the moisture seal on the pigtail

kits. The kits utilize a high dielectric constant (K)

stress control termination for the feeder cable's

electrical stress control.

These kits are designed to be used with copper

compression lugs. After being crimped onto the

cables, the lugs are bolted together, then insulated

and sealed with the 3M Motor Lead Splicing Kits.

Each kit contains all the necessary materials (except

lugs) needed to make three splices. The lugs must

Compression Lugs 30000 Series, or other UL listed

copper lugs, can be used.

Kit Contents

Each kit contains sufficient quantities of the following

materials to make three splices (lugs and vinyl tape

are not included).

Features

• Complete kit: Everything needed to make three

splices (except the lugs and vinyl tape).

• Fast and simple installation.

• No torches or heat source required.

• No special tools required to install splice.

• Thick walls to resist puncture and abrasion

damage.

• High Dielectric constant stress control included

with 5/8 kV kits for shielded feeder cables, for

minimizing size and electrical stress.

• Easy reentry.

Applications

3M Motor Lead Splicing Kits 5380 Series can be

used on cables with a rated operating temperature of

90˚C and an emergency overload rating of 130˚C.
