E/FUSING TAPE
Self-fusing silicone tape which forms a void-free electrical insulation protection system when applied to any connector, bus or cable.
E/Fusing tape offers up to 15 kV phase-to-ground insulation with a 2/3 overlap and a 10% stretch. A second 2/3 overlap of tape will achieve a 30 kV phase-to-ground insulation rating.
E/Fusing Tape is offered in various widths to make application on any size equipment easy.
