5.0 Characteristics and Test Data
Tests were designed to determine how long a 12-inch
specimen of Scotch
given amount of current before separating. A 20 gram
weight was attached to the Scotch 24 Tape to ensure
contact between the strands of the copper mesh. The
test ended when Scotch 24 separated, due to the
melting of the tinned copper wires. Figure 2 on the
back page illustrates the results.
The data indicates that Scotch 24 Tape has excellent
current carrying capacities for replacing the
electrostatic shielding in high-voltage cables.
It should not be used as a ground strap or jumper
wire because it will not carry the large fault currents
and lightning currents that
often appear in high voltage
cables.
Figure 3 is representative of
the method used for
determining the resistance
per foot of 24 Tape. The
200-gram weight was used
to insure contact between
the interwoven No. 36 wires.
The resistance is .92 ohms
for 10 feet of 24 Tape.
6.0 Installation Techniques
When constructing tape terminations and splices,
overwrap area according to 3M prints with one half-
lapped layer of Scotch 24 Tape to continue
electrostatic shielding.
When using resin-pressure methods, overwrap splice
area with one quarter-lapped layer of Scotch 24 Tape.
Solder 24 Tape ends to cable metallic shielding.
Caution: Scotch 24 tape should not be used as a
ground strap or jumper wire. It’s ampacity
is not great enough to carry large fault currents.

to hold it in place.
Techniques for the proper use of this conductive tape
are contained in standard and special prints available
though the 3M Systems for Splicing and Terminating
program. They are available through your local 3M

7.0 Maintenance
(Shelf Life)
Scotch 24 Tape has an indefinite storage life. Because
of its open-weave knit construction, 24 Tape will not
telescope while on the roll.
The tape can be checked for resistance with an ohm
meter. Probes touching the surface one foot apart
should measure .092 ohms or less. The tape is not
impaired by freezing nor by over-heated conditions.
8.0 Availability
Scotch 24 Tape is available in 1-inch x 15-foot and
1-inch x 100-foot (job size) rolls.
Complete Product and Use Specification are available
through the Electro-Products Division, 3M Company.
