Fused Loadbreak Elbow Connector

Eaton’s Cooper Power series 15 kV Class fused loadbreak elbow connector combines a fully-shielded and insulated plug-in termination with full-range current-limiting fuse protection. The fused loadbreak elbow connector provides a convenient and cost effective means to adding fused protection to underground distribution systems, for connecting underground cables to transformers, switching cabinets and junctions equipped with IEEE Std 386-2006 standard 200 A, 15 kV Class loadbreak bushings. Designed as a switching device, it is tested at the maximum fuse rating in accordance to the procedures of IEEE Std 386 standard - latest revision. Fused loadbreak elbow connectors are molded using high quality peroxide-cured insulating and semiconducting EPDM rubber. Standard features include a copper probe adapter, coppertop connector, copper loadbreak probe with an ablative arc-follower tip and stainless steel reinforced pulling-eye. The capacitive test points are made of corrosion resistant plastic and are used for voltage detection. Cable ranges are designed to accept a wide range of cable conductor and insulation sizes and accommodate cable manufactured to either AEIC or ICEA standards. The coppertop compression connector consists of an aluminum crimp barrel inertia-welded to a copper lug and provides a connection to transition from the cable to the current-limiting fuse. The aluminum barrel makes the connector easy to crimp and the copper lug ensures a reliable, tight, cool operating connection with the current-limiting fuse.
