Description :

Scotch 77 Tape is a fire retardant arc proofing tape designed to protect all types of electrical cables. Its unique formulation allows the manufacture of an unsupported elastomer that expands to provide a thick char buildup. This insulating shield protects the cables and accessories from fault arc generated heat and flames. All adjacent wrapped cables and accessories are protected when exposed to fault arcs until limiting devices can interrupt the faulted circuit.

Features :

• Flexible unsupported elastomer—clean, easy to apply, eliminates cuts and contusions of hands.

• Conformability provides wrinkle-free wrapping and complete coverage with minimum effort.

• Provides fault arc protection to adjacent wrapped cables and accessories.

• Self-extinguishing, will not propagate flame.

• Thin (30 mils thick) to save space, and allow cable heat to be dissipated more rapidly.

• Will last and maintain its arc proofing properties for the life of the cable. Resistant to water, salt water, acids, sewage and ultraviolet light.

• Can be removed and reused.

• Standard roll sizes for fast convenient installation.

Applications :

• To arc proof high-energy power cables where exposed to failures of other high-energy cables.

(Any cables within 18 inches are considered to be exposed).

• To arc proof control cable when high energy power cables are present.

• Provide additional electrical insulation, thus reducing possibilities of transferred arcs.
