UNE-EN IEC 62677-3-101:2018

This standard is applicable to heat shrinkable low voltage moulded shapes in a range of

configurations suitable for insulation, environmental sealing, mechanical protection, strain relief

for power cable terminations, joints and stop ends. These moulded shapes have been found

suitable for use for temperatures between -40ºC and 100ºC.

The moulded shapes may be supplied with a pre-coated adhesive. A guide to adhesive

compatibility and temperature performance is given in Appendix A. Refer to the

manufacturers/suppliers for options.

The material is available in two types:

Type A Flame retardant

Type B Not flame retardant

Materials which conform to this specification meet established levels of performance. However,

the selection of a material by a user for a specific application should be based on the actual

requirements necessary for adequate performance in that application and not based on this

specification alone.

The tests specified are designed to control the quality of the moulded shapes but it is recognized

that they are designed to be used in low and medium voltage cable accessories and as such

electrical performance must be proven as part of the assembly. Examples of this are described in

EN50393, HD 629 and IEC 60502.
