Description
3M™ Mining Cable Splice Kits, 3100 Series are used to splice flexible power cables (primarily mining types) rated from 600 Volts to 15 kV. The cable types which can be spliced using these kits, include flat and round W, G, W-GC, G-GC, SHD-GC, MPF, and MPF-GC. The tapes in the kits can be used to splice conductor sizes ranging from 6 AWG up to 1/0 kcmil (14 to 50 mm2). The instructions cover cable up to 500 kcmil (250 mm2); however, additional tapes will be needed. The Scotch® Heavy Duty Mining Tape 31 has excellent resistance to moisture and abrasion, along with its MSHA approved flame resistance. Each kit includes most of the tape materials necessary to make one complete splice. Additional materials may be needed for larger conductor sizes. All kit tapes are sold separately. In some cases, Scotch® Glass Cloth Electrical Tape 27 or 69 may be substituted for use over the connector. Check the kit instructions for this option. The splices can be used with standard Copper (Cu) in-line compression (crimp type) connector, and can be used for size transitions within the kit size range. They are designed to exceed minimum industry test standards for the kit’s designed voltage class.
