Silicone Rubber Cutouts

Application
Design Features
Silicone rubber has been utilized for more than 25 years as an outdoor
Lighter weight than porcelain
insulation material and has become the most used, fastest growing
polymeric material for medium and high voltage outdoor insulation. Ideal for cold weather applications
ABB selected silicone material for its premium cutouts due to its

ABB silicone cutouts weigh 30-50% less than its porcelain counter- Not susceptible to UV degradation
parts. The insulators are injection molded into one piece, a feature
that eliminates moisture ingress and thus prevents breakage from Non brittle and vandal resistant
freeze/thaw cycles.
Interchangeable with S&C Type XS,
The hydrophobic properties allow silicone to outperform other Cooper Type L and Chance Type C
materials because of better tracking resistance. As a result, silicone is cutouts

silicone cutouts offer the greatest creepage distance over any standard
cutout available today, thus making them a better alternative for high Greatest creepage distance over any

Silicone has the unique ability to maintain its hydrophobicity during

the lifetime of the insulation. Other polymeric materials such as EPDM
may also be hydrophobic, but they lose this property after a relatively
short time in service. Furthermore, silicone offers greater stability
against heat and UV-radiation compared to other polymers.

From the time it leaves the factory, to the time it reaches the service
pole, a cutout goes through a large amount of handling. Typical
consequences of such handling include nicks and cracks, and broken
units that have to be scrapped. ABB silicone cutouts are non-brittle so
they can withstand the rough handling that is often associated with

this type of equipment. By reducing handling damage, ABB brings
added value to the end users bottom line.
