Westrim • High Voltage Splice Enclosure

Splices two GTO cables – integral spacer keeps connection in place
Rated for 7500 volt applications, including 15000V mid-point referenced transformer
   installations
Borosillicate glass and metal construction makes it a solid, safe, and long life product.
UV Protected Lexan divider – UL tested for UV & heat resistance
Simplifies installation, improves quality, reduces installation costs! Channel letters are
   fully assembled in the shop with the electrode receptacles installed, tubes mounted,
   wired complete with flex conduit and GTO. At the installation site, the letters are
   mounted to the building and wired to one another using the HVSE. This procedure
  reduces glass breakage.
