About Reusable Insulating Boot
Reusable Insulating Boots are designed to be used with all types of Terminations and is suitable for use with PILC / XLPE Cables. The modified Silicon / Rubber used in shrouds gives the required flexibility and electrical characteristics to ensure sufficient di-electric strength is provided between Phase to Phase and Phase to Ground.
The Boots are easy to install and is designed for disconnection and reusability. It also provides complete sealing of the Cable, cable lug, and the bushing and thus prevents flash-over due to rodent and high humidity.
