HVES is a TE Raychem heat shrink live end seal. It seals the end of a single core cable with PILC or polymeric insulation and a tape cable shield. The sizes below come from TE's product pages. Match your conductor size and insulation diameter to a row.
| Part | Voltage class | Conductor range (AWG/kcmil) | Conductor diameter | Insulation diameter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HVES-1521D | 15 kV or less | 4 to 4/0 | 0.23 to 0.53 in (5.82 to 13.46 mm) | 0.6 to 1.05 in |
| HVES-1522D | 15 kV or less | 250 to 350 | 0.58 to 0.68 in (14.73 to 17.27 mm) | 0.85 to 1.3 in |
| HVES-1523D | 15 kV or less | 500 to 750 | 0.81 to 1.0 in (20.6 to 25.4 mm) | 1.05 to 1.6 in |
| HVES-2521D | 25 kV or less | 1 to 250 | 0.33 to 0.58 in (8.38 to 14.73 mm) | 0.85 to 1.25 in |
| HVES-2522D | 25 kV or less | 350 to 500 | 0.68 to 0.81 in (17.27 to 20.6 mm) | 1.15 to 1.5 in |
Insulation diameters are for PILC and plastic cable, except where TE lists a narrower PILC range. For example, the HVES-1521D lists PILC at 0.6 to 0.9 in and plastic at 0.65 to 1.05 in.
For three core PILC or plastic cable, TE lists the HVES-3-1594.
| Part | Voltage class | Cores | Conductor range (AWG/kcmil) | Insulation | Insulation diameter |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HVES-3-1594 | 15 kV or less | 3 | 750 to 1000 | PILC or plastic | 1.15 to 1.75 in |
These items are the same across the sizes above, per TE.
