Silicone Rubber Electrical Tapes is a high-temperature arcand track-resistant tape composed of selffusing, inorganic silicone rubber and easytear and easy-strip liner.
Applications of silicone rubber tape
As an overwrap for protection of terminating high-voltage cables against arcing and tracking. High-voltage cables with these insulations should be overwrapped:
Butyl rubber
Oil-base rubber
Ethylene propylene rubber
P.V.C.
Low and high-density polyethylene cross-linked
As primary insulation where Class H (180 Degree C/356 Degree F) temperatures are encountered i.e., silicone rubber cables.
As splice overwrap on spacer cable operating at 15 kV and above.
