Question: Does TE offer installation trainings for dry self-supporting flexible terminations?

Answer: Yes, our dry self-supporting flexible terminations are part of our high voltage cable accessories training courses. They can take place in our training centers or at your facility. To learn more visit TE.com/trainingcenter

Question: Is it required to fill in the dry self-supporting flexible terminations with insulating liquid?

Answer: No, our dry self-supporting flexible terminations do not require liquid insulation. The electrical insulation is done by the silicone push-on body which makes it a dry version, with no leakage possibilities.

Question: Are they special tools required to install the dry self-supporting flexible terminations?

Answer: For push-on, the silicone body on to the cable, a push on tool might be required. We developed a tool for an easy, fast and safe installation.

Question: Are they different creepage length available to fit different environmental requirements?

Answer: There is only one creepage length available covering the insulation class IV – Very Heavy pollution according to IEC 60071-2.

Question: Does the dry flexible self-supporting come with a self-supporting function?

Answer: Yes, our dry flexible terminations have a self-supporting function by using an insulator in parallel to the cable termination.
