Technical Specifications
Product Overview
SORIVO cold shrink terminations and joints are engineered from premium liquid silicone rubber (LSR) to deliver reliable, long-term cable accessory performance in medium voltage power networks up to 35kV. Unlike heat shrink systems that require a propane torch or hot-air gun, cold shrink products arrive pre-expanded on a removable spiral core. Installation is as simple as positioning the tube over the prepared cable end and unwinding the spiral — the silicone rubber contracts evenly around the cable, providing consistent radial pressure and a tight, void-free fit.
This cold shrink technology eliminates the fire risk, skill dependency, and process variability associated with heat shrink installation. Because silicone rubber retains its elasticity across a wide temperature range (–50°C to +130°C), the seals remain effective through thermal cycling and aging. For outdoor applications, the material's inherent hydrophobicity causes water to bead and roll off the surface, suppressing leakage current and reducing the risk of tracking failures — a critical advantage in polluted or coastal environments.
Each termination incorporates an integrated geometric stress cone that is moulded directly into the silicone body. This factory-engineered part controls the electrical stress field at the cable shield cut, eliminating the need for separate stress relief kits and reducing installation steps. The result is a compact, reliable termination that meets IEC 60502, GB/T 12706, and IEEE 48/404 requirements.
SORIVO manufactures these cold shrink kits under strict quality control, with each batch tested for dielectric strength, mechanical performance, and dimensional accuracy before dispatch. For technical support or custom voltage class requirements, contact our engineering team.
Key Features
Tool-Free Installation
Pre-expanded on a removable spiral core. No heat torch, no open flame, no special tools required. Unwind and shrink — complete in minutes.
Integrated Stress Control
Factory-moulded geometric stress cone is built into the silicone body, eliminating separate stress relief kits and reducing installation complexity.
Silicone Rubber Material
Liquid silicone rubber delivers superior tracking resistance, hydrophobicity, UV tolerance, and long-term flexibility compared to EPDM or polyethylene.
Moisture Seal System
Double-layer sealing mastic at both the lug end and cable jacket interface prevents moisture ingress and maintains insulation integrity.
Voltage Versatility
Covers 10kV to 35kV classes in a single product family. Suitable for both single-core and three-core cable configurations.
Weatherproof Outdoor Design
Moulded weathersheds (umbrella skirts) on outdoor termination series provide the creepage distance needed for reliable outdoor and polluted environment service.
30+ Year Service Life
Silicone rubber remains flexible and elastic for decades, maintaining seal pressure and electrical performance over the cable's full service life.
Complete Kit Solution
All components needed for one termination — cold shrink body, stress cone, mastic strips, silicone grease, and manual — ship in a single box.
