Maintenance

Components within this kit are stable under normal

storage conditions. Normal stock rotation practices

Shrink Insulators are not impaired by freezing or

heated storage up to the flow temperature of the

mastic. 3M Cold Shrink removable core material is

��

waste.

Specifications

Product

The motor lead boot assembly must have a voltage

class rating equal to or greater than the cable being

terminated. The rating shall be 5 or 8.7 kV as an

IEEE Standard 48-1990 Class 1 termination. It must

have a maximum continuous operating temperature

rating of 90˚C, with an emergency overload rating

of 130˚C. The termination stress control shall be

capacitive and constructed of a Hi-K EPDM rubber

tube. The installation procedure shall require using

silicone grease. The motor lead boot kit shall

include all materials required (except lug) and

shall accommodate shielded cables (tape, wire or

Shelf Life

Maximum recommended storage temperature is

43˚C (110˚F). The termination assembly portion of

the motor lead boot kit is not affected by freezing

storage temperatures. Normal stock rotation is

recommended. As provided, the motor lead boot kit

has an on-shelf storage life of three years from the

date of manufacture.
