Heatshrink Joint GTSIS WSK with Screen Break

Application

GTSIS1 heat-shrink shield break straight joints are designed for unarmored, plastic insulated cables with Cu wire or Cu/Al tape screen, to accommodate either crimped or mechanical connectors.

Nexans GTSIS provide screen interruption in the joint in order to separate earthing system networks.

It can be supplied with single (GTSIS “L”) or double (GTSIS “L2”) earthing exits to allow screen transposition and cross bonding.

Technical feature

Along each section, a standing voltage is induced. In ideal cross-bonding systems the three section lengths are equal, so that no residual voltage occurs and thus no screen current flows.

MC types are supplied with GPH® mechanical connectors.

The outer sheath is restored with heavy wall adhesive lined tubing or in case of limited space with a wrap-around sleeve with or without Al foil.
