The Loadbreak Elbow Connector is a fully shielded and insulated termination for connecting underground cable to transformers, switchgear, and other apparatus equipped with loadbreak bushings, junctions, or other loadbreak connectors.
The loadbreak elbow meets all the requirements of IEEE Standard 386 and is fully interchangeable with competitors' products and mating products that also meet IEEE Standard 386.
Tests conducted in accordance with IEEE/ANSI Standard 386.
· Partial discharge minimum extinction voltage - 15kV
· AC 60Hz for 1 min (kV crest) - 34kV
1. SEMICONDUCTING SHIELD
Precision-molded peroxide-cured semiconducting shield provides groundshield continuity and meets the requirements of IEEE Standard 592
2. INSULATION LAYER
High-quality peroxide-cured EPDM Insulation is mixed and formulated in-house for complete control of rubber characteristics.
3. SEMICONDUCTING INSERT
Precision-molded peroxide-cured semiconducting insert provides corona-free electrostatic shielding of the compression connector.
4. PULLING EYE
Stainless steel pulling eye for hot stick switching operations.
5. COMPRESSION CONNECTOR
Standard Bi-Metal, or optional Copper, compression connector is sized to ensure a cool-running connection with maximum current transfer.
6. CAPACITIVE TEST POINT
Capacitive test point on molded T-Body with snap-on cap provides a shielded, hot stick operable means to determine circuit condition.
7. LOADBREAK PROBE
Tin-plated copper probe with arc-extinguishing tip allows for dependable switching operations.
8. DRAIN WIRE TAB
Drain wire tabs provide a convenient point to connect the drain wire to ensure grounding of the connector shield.
