TYPICAL APPLICATIONS • Power Distribution • Utilities • Electric Vehicles • Railway Equipment • Military Field Power • Mobile Generators • Loadbanks • Back-up Power Systems BACKGROUND Keyed “L” slot single pole connectors have become widely adopted in a diverse range of applications and industries. One of the main features of early designs was the mechanically keying of the connectors to prevent possible connection errors. I.e. A Phase Line cannot be connected into Earth Line etc. It was evident that several enhancements to existing designs were possible to further improve the product but...

+ Ten 47 POWERLINE CONNECTORS CLIP CONTACT RETENTION SYSTEM • Some versions of this connector format have relied upon the Electrical Contact being retained within the Insulator by means of a Plastic dowel/cotter pin. • These pins are forced through a mating hole in the Insulator and contact and any re-use of the same pin may adversely affect the IP sealing of the connectors. • Ten 47 “Powerline” contacts are retained by means of a spring clip design that can retain the equivalent weight of 100metres of 240mm² cable. • The contacts are inserted from the rear and “snap ” into position within...

+ Ten 47 POWERLINE CONNECTORS CLIP CONTACT RETENTION SYSTEM • Contacts for 185mm2 to 300mm2 cable can be removed with a simple tool as shown below . Position the contact keyway and insert into the rear of Insulator. Push the cable/contact until the clips “snap” into position. You will feel and hear the locking during this operation. To remove, place the removal tool around the cable and position into the rear of the Insulator. Push the contact from the front and it will release from the Insulator.

+ Ten 47 POWERLINE CONNECTORS CABLE CONNECTOR (line Source) Cable Connectors are typically used as the Live or Supply side of the circuit and utilise a Solid Insulated contact tip to provide IP2X Finger Protection when unmated. “CCF” Connectors incorporate a slot that engages with the Locking Pin on both the mating Panel Inlet and Cable Plug connectors. CABLE PLUG (line Drain) “CPF” Connectors utilise a spring-mounted contact with a Double Insulated Sleeve that provides IP2X Finger Protection when unmated. The “CCF” contact depresses the spring and sleeves to obtain Electrical connection....

Cable Lugs can be either Copper or Bi-Metallic (Aluminium Barrels with Copper Palms) Lugs from 35mm2 to 300mm2 with a maximum Palm Width of 37mm and Cable Diameters from 19mm to 37mm can be terminated. Bolt the Lugged cable onto the Powerline Contact, align within the Insulator and push the cable home until it locks into the Clipped Contact retention system. A simple tool can be supplied to remove the contact and lug from...

POWERLINE DEVICES and ACCESSORIES INTRODUCTION To compliment our Powerline connectors, we have manufactured several accessories and devices to allow for various connection requirements onto LV Busbars and Circuits. Short, Long and 90° G-Clamps, Rotary Clamps, Overhead Line Clamps and JSU / JPU Fuse Carriers with a built in Powerline Generator Connection. Where appropriate, the devices have been independently tested and approved in accordance with: “Testing of Insulated Tools and Assemblies for Live Working and use up to 1000V A.C. and 1500V D.C. to BS EN 60900:2004” Also available are...

FUSE CARRIERwith GENERATOR CONNECTION Fuse Carriers with Powerline Generator Input to connect into distribution boards. This allows for a generator cable to be connected to either the LV busbar or feeder circuit. Available with Line 1, Line 2 or Line 3 Powerline connectors for either JPU 82mm or JSU 92mm pitch. JPU are rated to 400Amps and JSU are rated to 630Amps.
