Electrical Solutions For Extreme Conditions and Environments

Your reputation comes first. Maintaining electrical transmission is your main job, your connections must withstand various extreme conditions. One day you may be working on an Real Electrical Solutions installation, on a new residential development, and the next day on an elevator. For this reason, it is essential that your toolbox does not lack insulation tapes designed for fast and long-lasting application. Real Electrical Solutions Insulation Tapes work alone or together in extreme conditions such as: extreme cold and high temperatures, contaminated environments, mechanical protection, humid environments and critical conditions, where failure is not an option. Real Electrical is by your side so you have the right tools to do your job.

If you are the third generation of electricians, chances are your grandfather used Scotch Super 33+ vinyl electrical tape . Seven decades have passed and Scotch Super 33+ vinyl electrical tape is now the standard in terms of strength. As the demands for industrial power increased, Real Electrical engineers continued to innovate and develop new materials to help keep contaminants out. Dirt, debris, grease, chemicals, and even water can contaminate the tape job and cause air bubbles or adhesion problems. Over time, these problems can become sources of moisture, or reduce performance if corrosive chemicals are spilled on the fitting.

Contaminants generally enter the installation stage; dirt and debris can transfer to the adhesive layer of an electrician's glove. This is why the putty material is so important. PVC coated putty tapes insulate low voltage connections and act as a barrier in one step. This Electrical services is possible thanks to the combination of a high adhesion component in greasy or humid environments with a highly durable vinyl outer layer. Mastic tapes adhere to steel and have high resistance to alkali, acid, UV rays, and copper corrosion. In the event of a hole, the flexibility of the caulk allows it to flow to fill air bubbles, helping to maintain a tight seal.

Application techniques for professionals using electrical tape to insulate Real Electrical Solutions:

• Outdoors, where splices are exposed to moisture, apply a caulk tape, then wrap with a high performance vinyl electrical tape. It is important to use electrical tape with a minimum sag of <2.54 mm (<0.1 in) so that the tape does not kink and expose the connection to air bubbles.

• For a strong seal where contaminants are present, be sure to cover with a professional grade duct tape, which has elongation properties, meaning that it can be stretched 2.5 times its original length, it will recede when applied, settling on their place and forming an airtight envelope, avoiding the so-called “bandereo effect”.

• If you need to mask bolt heads or other shaped components, use a caulk tape. This prevents the cover from tangling when filling the components. Wrap the connection with a professional- grade electrical tape , such as Scotch Super 33+ vinyl electrical tape , so that it contains applied caulk and stays in place.

Inevitably, we are faced with environments with the presence of heat, and also with cold. Storms, cold rooms, boilers, dry or humid places like coasts, and even industrial plant lawns can wreak havoc on electrical installations. ASP Level 2 Electrician Most people do not consider green space outside a factory as an extreme environment. Fertilizer that seeps into underground power lines can be as corrosive as the sea breeze in a shipyard.

Under hot or cold conditions.

Duct piping in an industrial plant can be exposed to steam and condensation, sparks, fire, and heat. Under conditions of constant heat exposure, such as a boiler room, the duct tape can become brittle, crack, and the cover can be compromised, all of which create conditions conducive to corrosion.

In electrical installations, where humidity is the biggest concern, not just any electrical tape will work. Sometimes the job requires more than just professional grade duct tape. Real Electrical offers a variety of solutions to help ensure you get the results you need no matter the job. Rubber tapes are an excellent choice to help protect electrical installations from moisture with voltages above 600 V. However, putty tapes combined with a rubber insulator can be your best defense and are recommended for applications of high voltage underground and overhead. Putties have a capacity of up to 600 V, therefore in high voltage applications they must be used with a primary rubber insulator.
