3M 7100004701 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does Scotch Arc Proofing Tape 77 stick to itself, or do I need something else to hold the wrap?
Scotch 77 arc proofing tape is non-adhesive, so the wrap will not hold on its own. You apply it as a wrapped layer over the cable and then band or secure it in place. Plan on a separate securing method as part of the job, because nothing on the tape itself will hold the lap.
2) Can I install arc proofing tape 77 in a cold manhole or unheated vault?
Minimum operating temperature is 0 degrees C, so it is not rated for installation or service below freezing. For cold-weather duct bank and manhole work, warm the rolls and the cable surface, or schedule the wrap when conditions are above 0 C.
3) What actually protects the cable in a fault, and does the tape burn?
The backing is an intumescent elastomer: under the heat of an adjacent cable failure it swells and chars into an insulating barrier over the cable it is wrapped on. The tape is self-extinguishing, so it does not carry flame, and it is UV resistant for outdoor and exposed runs.
4) Is 3M arc proofing tape 77 UL Listed, and does it meet any utility spec?
It is UL Listed and RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant, and it meets Consolidated Edison Co. Test EO-5343-14. That Con Ed acceptance is the one utility engineers most often ask for on arc and fire proofing submittals.
5) How much cable will one roll of 3M Scotch 77 arc proofing tape cover?
Each roll is 3 inches wide by 20 feet long (76.2 mm by 6 m). Because arc proofing is applied as an overlapped half-lap wrap, usable run length per roll is roughly half the 20 feet, so figure your footage accordingly. Rolls ship one per carton and ten rolls per case.
6) Will this tape conform to bundled cables and tight bends without wrinkling?
Conformability is the point of the 77 construction: it wraps with virtually no wrinkling at minimal tension, and elongation at break is 850 percent, so it stretches around bends, splices and irregular bundles instead of tenting. Total thickness without liner is 30 mil (0.76 mm).
7) Where is arc proofing tape 77 used on a commercial job?
It is an electrical maintenance and insulation product for commercial construction and electrical construction work, typically in manholes, vaults, duct banks, switchgear rooms and cable trays where a fault on one cable could damage the cables beside it. It is black, and the tape grade is professional rather than general purpose.
