These tools intended to splice and terminate cable while meeting specific application needs including accurate removal of insulation, semi-conductive sheathing, protective jacketing and other materials to produce a consistent, uniform preparation of cable ends.

Insulation Enhancement System

Insulation enhancement systems for substations and overhead lines.Designed to prevent unplanned outages due to accidental bridging and to help upgrade insulation levels at critical points in systems.
 
We provide a wide range of LV, MV, and HV products to the world’s electrical utilities, OEM’s, industrial customers and railways. Asset protection solutions help our customers to improve system reliability and prevent costly damage to equipment caused by accidental interphase or phase to ground bridging. Bridging can occur when birds, animals, vegetation, air-bourne debris and even vandalism comes into contact with bare electrical systems in substations, overhead lines and all related equipment.
 
By insulating strategic areas it is possible to eliminate such problems and in areas of growing environmental awareness, such as the protection of endangered species, our insulation products will allow wildlife to come and go without danger of being electrocuted.

Polymeric Insulators

Our competence in materials science is fundamental to our ability to design polymeric insulators that more than meet application requirements even for severe environments. We have worked closely with customers to optimize the design and installation of our products in some of the most challenging environments in the world. Polymeric insulators are based on our 35 years of rich experience in the field of crosslinked polymers for medium- and high-voltage applications. They consist of a polymeric housing over a pultruded fibre glass rod to which galvanized steel or aluminum end fittings are attached.

Operating Rods

Raychem’s Operating Rods are hollow or solid insulation parts made of fiber-reinforced epoxy resins with metal connection fittings. They can withstand extreme mechanical and electrical loads and are suitable for integration in high voltage equipments where high insulation strength combined with high mechanical strength and low weight is an asset. Operating Rods are used for voltage levels ranging from 50 kV to 800 kV. They are available in various diameters.
 

  Bushings for transformers, walls and dead tank breakers
  Grading capacitors, chamber and support insulators for life tank breaker
  Current and voltage transformers in oil and SF6
  Cable terminations
  Surge arresters

Low and Medium Voltage

Raychem offers surge arresters for medium voltage power distribution systems that are designed to reliably protect your valuable assets from overvoltage. They can withstand severe outdoor exposure over long operating lifetimes and help maintain service reliability in both overhead and underground installations. Raychem arresters have passed the most rigorous tests (IEC 60099-4, ANSI C62.11, IEC 61643).

LV ABC

LV-Aerial Bundled Conductor (LV ABC) System is an effective solution offered by Raychem which prevents theft by direct tapping, the most basic method of stealing electricity.
 
Raychem was one of the first to pioneer the connection, anchoring and suspension of low-voltage insulated overhead systems. Our continuous efforts in research and development have led to state-of-the-art product lines, that meet the demands of modern network design, operation and maintenance. Our products are successfully employed by utilities around the world including artic, desert and tropical climatic extremes. With Raychem’s piercing connectors, service lines can be connected to live lines with maximum safety to linemen.

Anti-theft system in overhead networks distribution

Distribution Boxes
Distribution Boxes incorporate busbars with unique and patented spring-action contacts. Installed where multiple tapping on low voltage distribution network is required, the boxes are assembled on the pole using metal straps or bolts and are easily fed from secondary line.
 

Anti-theft tamper proof meter units

Meter Unit with ‘NRP’ technology offered by Raychem RPG has an innovative solution to encompass energy meter, to prevent tampering on low voltage distribution networks and the non-reversible plug-in type LT connector, to make it completely theft free and tamper proof.
 
Raychem RPG’s Meter Unit is 100% transparent from all sides and made of flame retardant V0 grade polycarbonate with high durability and weathering resistance solution.
 
This Meter Unit comes with non-reversible, anti-theft locking system. A box once closed & sealed cannot be opened without breaking it, thereby making it safe and secure.

Low Loss Wedge Connectors

Raychem Wedge Utility Connectors are designed around an engineering principle which we call ‘Wedge Pressure Technology’.
 
Wedge Pressure Technology has formed the basis for a complete family of connectors that outperforms other convectional connector technologies, resulting in ‘lowest life cycle cost’. Wedge Connectors (Boltless Connectors) overcome the physical and electrical limitations of traditional compression or bolted connectors; resulting in low technical losses and efficient, consistent current flow.
 

Medium Voltage Covered Conductors (MVCC)

Raychem’s Medium Voltage Covered Conductors provide the effective solutions to prevent the revenue loss due to theft by direct tapping, tree faults and other problems associated with bare overhead conductors.
 
Raychem’s covered conductors have been tested across two conductors of 22kV for upto 300 hrs, after which the test was discontinued. This has proved the reliability and effectiveness of MVCC in preventing the system failure on account of transient faults created in system due to falling trees or branches.

Tappat

The new TAPPAT LV Service pillar has been designed after extensive testing and field trials. It is a significant improvement over the existing feeder pillars and offers the following advantages:

Advantages:
Reduction in I2R losses
Safe Insulated Connections, overcomes safety issues
Lockable, tamper proof design hence reduces the risk of power theft and pilferages
Easy sectionalizing
Add-on connection possible

Trafoconnect

Transformer is a vital component of a distribution system. It has to deliver Reliable Power in a safe & efficient manner. However, 8% of the transformers installed worldwide fail on account of improper connector systems.
A conventional connector system used for LV cable connection, deploys crimping and tightening of the bolts. Over a period of time, it leads to a loose electrical contacts which causes sparks and hot spots. The contact resistance is high which adds to the losses of ailing utilities. The weight of the connector causes mechanical strains on the bushing of the transformer, leading to oil leakages.

LV Underground Distribution System

UGMTS
Under Ground Multi Transit System (UGMTS), a patented product of Raychem provides complete solutions for

Reliably connecting and switching adjacent section of LV cables
Preventing power thefts and pilferages of expensive components
