ABB selects Araldite® HCEP Systems Insulation materials for new ABB outdoor vacuum reclosure OVR ABB reclosures made of Araldite® HCEP Systems have passed one of the most stringent natural aging tests for outdoor applications: KIPTS in South Africa. With dry summers, high winds, high exposure to UV radiation, seasonal rainfall and extremely heavy levels of marine and industrial pollution like salt, KIPTS is recognized worldwide as one of the harshest natural aging test sites. The reclosers made from Araldite® HCEP Sys­ tems were tested over one year. Results are: > signs of material...
