Rain sheds enhance insulation on high-voltage cable terminations by increasing creepage distance and preventing flashovers. Moreover, they resist UV exposure and seal tightly using heat-shrinkable polymer. As a result, they perform reliably in harsh, polluted, and coastal environments. Rain sheds are ideal for use in substations, transformers, and outdoor switchgear. Additionally, their design ensures stable operation with minimal maintenance.

Rain Sheds are essential in high-voltage power systems, enhancing insulation by increasing creepage distance to prevent tracking and flashovers in harsh environments. Made from durable, UV-resistant polymeric materials, they repel moisture and contaminants to maintain system reliability. Easy to install with a heat-shrinkable design and optional mastic lining, Rain Sheds are ideal for substations, transformers, and outdoor switchgear in polluted or coastal areas.
