Product Overview

COMPAQ’s CRS Series – Heat Shrinkable Anti-Tracking Rain Sheds – are engineered to increase the creepage distance of medium voltage cable terminations, improving insulation reliability without increasing the termination length. Manufactured from high-grade cross-linked polyolefin with excellent non-tracking and UV-resistant properties, these rain sheds are essential components in outdoor and high-pollution environments.

The sheds are internally coated with thermoplastic adhesive, providing a tight seal and superior weatherproofing, making them ideal for use in MV terminations in rainy, coastal, and industrial zones.

How Are We The Best

Product Benefits?

Extended Creepage Path

Effectively increases surface distance to prevent flashovers and surface discharge in polluted, wet, or high-humidity environments.

01

Non-Tracking Insulation Material

Specially formulated polymer prevents leakage currents and maintains insulation integrity under contamination and electrical stress.

02

Rain & Weather Protection

Shields terminations from moisture during rain or fog, ensuring uninterrupted performance and preventing flashovers.

03

Thermoplastic Adhesive Lining

Ensures secure bonding to the termination surface and forms a tight, water-resistant seal against ingress.

04

UV & Environmental Resistance

Designed to endure long-term outdoor exposure, including sunlight, temperature extremes, and mechanical strain.

05

High Dielectric Strength

Maintains reliable insulation under medium voltage stress, even in harsh field conditions.

06

Quick & Secure Installation

Heat shrink design ensures fast, consistent application with strong mechanical adhesion.

07

Flexible Application Range

Compatible with indoor and outdoor MV terminations in utility, industrial, and infrastructure networks.
