Deadbreak Series (35kV)

Deadbreak Series (35kV)
Product description

The 600/900 Amp Deadbreak Elbow and its accessories offer an easy and reliable solution for terminating and splicing main feeder circuits. Also known as a “T Body,” the Deadbreak Elbow is a fully shielded connector made of molded EPDM rubber. It features a high-torque bolted connection and is ideal for circuits that handle high loads and fault currents. Our Deadbreak Elbows are specifically designed for use with solid dielectric cables (XLPE or EPR) that have semi-conductive and neutral shielding. This accessory can be installed on cables with or without an outer jacket.

 

Part Numbers

S4000, S4100, GS4002, GS4102, GS4103, GS4104, GS4105, ALSB1L1, ALSB1L2, ALSB1L3, ALSB1L4, ALSB1L5, ALSB1L6

 

900A Rating

The Deadbreak Elbow can be rated for 900A continuous current when used with a copper top compression connector or shear bolt, copper insulating plug, copper stud, and copper bushing or junction. 

 

Interchangeability

The Deadbreak Elbow has been designed and tested to meet the requirement of IEEE Standard 386, Interface 13. Conformance to this industry standard ensures mechanical and electrical interchangeability with other products of manufacturers that are also in conformance with the standard.

 

Specifications and Ratings

For Reference, IEEE 386 ratings are provided in the datasheet.

 

Features and Benefits

  • Molded External Shield: Conductive, abrasive resistant shield of peroxide cured EPDM rubber. Provides ground shield continuity and meets the requirements of IEEE Standard 592.
  • Connector: Connector is sized to ensure a cool-running connector with maximum current transfer.
  • EPDM Insulation: Peroxide cured EPDM insulation
  • Cable Adapter: Molded cable adapter, sized to fit cable insulation diameter. Provides stress relief for the terminated cable.
  • Hex Head: Hex head used to tighten the connection.
  • Insulating Plug Cap: Semi-conducting rubber cap ts over insulating plug test point for waterproof seal and deadfront shielding.
  • Insulating Plug: Molded epoxy insulating plug provides excellent electrical, thermal and mechanical reliability.
  • Capacative Test Point: Test point with snap-on cap provides a shielded, hotstick operable means to determine circuit condition when used with high-impedence voltage sensing devices.
  • Drain Eyelet: Tab Drain eyelet tab provides a convenient point to connect a drain wire to ensure grounding of the connector shield.
