What are the Construction Differences Between Cold and Heat Shrink Cable Termination?

Construction of Heat Shrink Cable Termination

💧Heat shrink cable termination require heating when in use. 

There are two ways of heating, one is heating the middle, transfer heat to both ends; the other is heated by one end to transfer heat to the other, but such heating methods can easily lead to bubbles during heat contraction.

💧Use of heat shrink cable termination requires heating, so it is prohibited in areas with open fire heat sources, such as petrochemical plants, where the use of heat shrink ends can increase the risk factor, leading to accidents

💧In the construction of the thermal shrinkage terminal, the construction technical requirements are relatively high, a little attention will burn the insulation pipe, resulting in the insulation performance of the insulation pipe is affected.

💧During the thermal shrink end construction, the heating heat should be uniform. Otherwise, it will lead to uneven shrinkage wall thickness of the insulation pipe, and it is prone to breakdown in thin areas.

 
Construction of Cold Shrink Cable Accessories

💧Cold shrink cable termination can be used in petrochemical plants because it can be used without heating and is more safe.

💧Cold shrink cable termination have only one way from one end to the other, a program that cannot be changed. This ensures that the cold shrink cable connector do not produce bubbles in contraction.

💧Cold shrink cable termination are easier to operate and reduce construction costs. The cold shrinkage joint can be contracted by itself after transferring the internal expected wire core. And will not cause uneven contraction.
