SWP-56 & SWP-75
PROTECTIVE COVERS FOR PIPES AND CONDUCTORS IN ADIF INSTALLATIONS / BUSBARS AT SUBSTATIONS 15 – 36 KV
Design Features:
The SWP-56 and SWP-75 covers have been designed to operate in ADIF catenaries of 25kV and busbars of SET substations with a maximum service voltage (Um) of 36kV, providing Phase-Earth protection of 25 kV value, for bare pipes and conductors up to Ø55mm and Ø74mm, respectively.
Installation:
Once the SWP-56/75 cover is cut to the desired length, it is installed manually onto the conductor/pipe, without the need for tools, thanks to the very nature of the silicone material it is made from. Its interlocking design allows for quick installation and secure sealing of the profile, ensuring long-term reliability. (Fig. A and B).
The cover is fixed using self-vulcanizing silicone tape, applied at one end to secure the cover to the conductor or pipe, and then applied along the surface of the SWP-56/75 cover at regular intervals of ≤50cm and at the final end, as indicated in the corresponding Instruction Manual.
Advantages:
- The nature and flexibility of the silicone used in its manufacture make the profile very easy to work with, allowing it to easily adapt to the requirements of each installation. The ease and speed of cutting is another advantage.
- This material also offers exceptional resistance to the effects of snow and ice, due to its hydrophobic component – it repels water accumulation – which mitigates the occurrence of the phenomenon known as «ice sleeve.» This hydrophobic property is transferred to the contaminant layer, resulting in lower leakage currents.
Supply Format:
The SWP-56 and SWP-75 covers are supplied in recyclable cardboard packaging containing rolls of 20m and 10m in length, respectively, and are colored red RAL 3031.
Each package is clearly labeled with the model of the protector it contains and also includes information on the manufacturing month/year, batch number, as well as handling and storage instructions. It also includes a QR code that links to an installation video.
The interior of the packaging contains a detailed Instruction Manual, in A4 format, printed in color on both sides, to ensure correct installation of the protector, as well as its fixing accessories and securing closure.
