Push-Op Connector

Eaton offers a complete threadless deadbreak, clampstick operable connection system with its Cooper Power series 600 A, 35 kV class PUSH-OP deadbreak connector for terminating underground cables to transformers, switches, switchgear, and other apparatus. It is fully shielded, submersible, and meets the requirements of IEEE Std 386-2006 standard – Separable Insulated Connector Systems. The design employs a unique, 600 A rated, plated copper probe and mating PUSH-OP bushing utilizing a plated copper finger contact system. The PUSH-OP connector's stainless steel latching, linkage mechanism provides leverage for easy disconnection of the terminator and easy handling of heavy cable. The result is a one-person, clampstick operable connection system that is unequalled in ease of operation and time required to perform sectionalizing operations. A coppertop compression connector is provided for terminating the conductor. The 200 A three-phase rated loadbreak interface provides a means for obtaining a live test, visible ground and visible break using a clampstick. It also provides a convenient location for Eaton's Cooper Power series M.O.V.E. arrester or grounding elbow. The grounding elbow may be continuously connected to the PUSH-OP connector while moving it to and from an apparatus bushing. Eaton offers an optional capacitive test point similar to test points on 200 A elbow connectors. This allows use of Eaton's Cooper Power series test point faulted circuit indicators. The PUSH-OP connector also has a non-bolted connection that eliminates threading and its associated problems. PUSH-OP connectors are designed for use on solid dielectric cable (XLPE or EPR) with extruded semiconducting shields and concentric neutral, with or without jacket. Installation on jacketed concentric neutral cable may require additional sealing material. Cold shrinkable adapters are available for tape shield, linear corrugated and drain wire cable adaption for use with deadbreak connectors.
