Cold shrink termination components
TE Connectivity (TE)’s Raychem Class 1
A cold shrink terminations (CST) are a one-piece solution for high performance in cold applied terminations for polymeric cables up to 35kV. e CST o er a reliable, fast, and easy-to-install system to ensure trouble-free service. TE’s components are pre-expanded on an easy-to-remove spiral holdout, allowing installation in compact environments on prepared cable. e silicone body is formulated for tracking and erosion resistance. e extra-long stress cone aids in correct positioning and integrated void- lling mastic eliminates the need for silicone grease. Sealing mastic for the lug end is built into the expanded termination, eliminating the need for additional sealing tapes. Shear bolt and compression style terminals
and pin connectors are available to provide reliable connection to a variety of conductors. e CST components have full traceability to raw materials and are in compliance with IEEE-48, CENELEC HD 629.1.S2 (includes IEC, BS, VDE, and other international speci cations).

High power backup storage for pitch control
Maxwell assists wind farm operators and owners with achieving increased wind turbine uptime with its ultracapacitor- based energy storage for reliable emergency pitch control. Wind farms often face multiple replacement cycles and high maintenance costs for traditional
Leakproof screw-in connectors
Eisele o ers screw-in connectors of the LIQUIDLINE 5500 series made of saltwater-resistant aluminum. ey ful ll the special requirements for tube holding power and can be used together with aluminum heat sinks. e patented screw-in technology ensures tubes remain connected with no leaks, even in the event of frequent vibrations or movements of the tube and extreme temperature changes. To provide solutions for di erent application scenarios, Eisele o ers the same series in both stainless steel and dezinci cation-resistant brass. For maximum cooling performance in power electronics applications Eisele o ers its time-proven solid metal plug connectors with pivoting 90° or 45° elbows as the middle element. e elbow threaded ttings achieve more than 50% better ow rates than conventional elbow ttings.
