Insulation Piercing Connectors
All our connectors are designed and tested to fit to majority types of cables, regardless if cables are insulated with XLPE, PE or PVC. The products are tested according to national specifications such as NFC, VDE, BS, ESI and where possible in accordance to CENELEC EN 50483-4.
These standards include tests to verify reliable operation even in the harshest environments:
Designed for Installation from –20 °C up to +50 °C
Operation experience with temperatures ranging from –60 °C up to +60 °C
No limitation of mechanical loads for main and branch conductors
Shear head forces are adapted to the required contact forces for each application (main, service, lightning)
Voltage withstand to 6 kV in a 30 cm waterbath
No change in contact resistance and temperature after overloads and load cycling
Voltage withstand to 6 kV after heavy weathering exposure (UV-light, humidity and temperature cycling)
Corrosion resistance of metal parts proven in salt fog chamber and wet SO2 gas chamber
