Description
Scotch® Electrical Semi-Conducting Tape 13 is a highly conformable, semi-conducting EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) based high-voltage splicing tape. It is nonvulcanizing and shelf stable, with stable conductivity over a wide temperature range. Its conductivity is not affected, except by low-viscosity oils. The conductivity of cable semiconducting jackets is not affected by Scotch® Electrical Semi-Conducting Tape 13.  Semi-conducting (low resistivity)  Retains conductivity with strength  Elongates easily to conform to irregular shapes  Stable at elevated temperatures (130°C / 266°F)  Compatible with most solid dielectric cable insulations and conductors  Excellent resistance to cracking or checking from solvents, UV, or moisture  Compatible with high-voltage splicing and terminating materials  Usable for indoor or outdoor applications  Meets requirement of ASTM-D-4388, Type IV Agency Approvals & Self Certifications RoHS 2002/95/EC RoHS Compliant 2002/95/EC” means that the product or part (“Product”) does not contain any of the substances in excess of the maximum concentration values in EU Directive 2002/95/EC, as amended by Commission Decision 2002/618/EC, unless the substance is in an application that is exempt under RoHS.

Applications
■ To electrically round out high-voltage connectors and to bond to insulating
■ materials to minimize electrical stresses
■ Continue semi-conducting strand shielding found in solid dielectric (polyethylene, XLP, EPR, etc.) cables at 5 kV and above
■ Provide shielding for cable joints on solid dielectric insulated power cables
■ (shielded or concentric neutral)
■ Replace semi-conducting layer beneath metallic shield of similar cables
■ in case of damage (screening)
■ Make conductive portion of stress cone of power cable termination on
■ solid dielectric insulated power cables
■ Maintain positive connection between concentric neutral semi-conducting jackets of power cables and semi-conducting surfaces of plug-in units
■ Establish a more positive contact between concentric neutral wires and pre-molded devices already installed with too much jacket exposed
■ Round out bolted connections on insulated bus bars
