Abstract :
The environmental qualification of heat-shrinkable splices is investigated with respect to abnormal installation and its effect on insulation resistance. An analytical method is developed to assess the installed splice insulation resistance during a design basis accident at a nuclear facility. Once the insulation resistance is established, a system´s performance capabilities can also be verified analytically
