for low and medium voltage Al/Cu conductors
Cembre range-taking mechanical connectors are intended for use with Copper and Aluminium conductors, for low and medium voltage (up to 52kV) installations, in indoor, outdoor and underground applications.
Mechanical connector bodies are made from Aluminium EN-AW 2011 T6 with cross sectional area and barrel length designed to optimise electrical connectivity. Internal surfaces are protected against oxidation by grease with a very high dropping point, while the Tin plating on external surfaces has a minimum thickness of 12 μm for improved surface protection.
Shear bolts are made from the same material and designed to ensure a reliable electrical connection simply by tightening the bolts with a standard socket until shearing occurs inside the threaded hole without external protrusion.
To minimise voltage stresses, connectors are provided with centring devices to improve the alignment of the different conductor sizes.
