Description

The E/FOURREAU sheath is a silicone layer that can be installed on the cables and busbars of your electrical distribution installations and substations to provide insulation of up to 35 kV from phase to earth, thereby helping to protect birdlife. Its highly resistant material is suitable for harsh outdoor conditions in electrical substations.

The E/FOURREAU is manufactured with a slot to allow easy application without having to cut the electrical connections (see Use and Maintenance tab). The sheath is simply opened and stretched, allowing it to slide quickly over the cable or busbar to be protected. No thermal shrinkage is required for its application. No tools other than a cutting tool are required to obtain the appropriate length.

Additional information

Before installation:

Make sure that the Avifaune product and the device are clean. Remove dust, dirt and moisture from your hands, otherwise the sheath may not stick properly.

Installation:

• Open the sheath and wrap it around the conductor.
• For horizontal busbar applications, roll the slotted side down to limit rainwater penetration.
• Once installed, make sure that the E/FOURREAU sheath is completely closed around the conductor.

Refer to the user manual for further details.
