Powerline Connectors INTRODUCTION 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...

CLIP CONTACT RETENTION SYSTEM • Some versions of this connector format have relie d 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 th e 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 mean s 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 the Insulator with no...

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....

Powerline ConnectorsDEFINITIONS/TERMINOLOGY RATED CURRENT The current rating of the connector is determined by the conductor size and type utilised. Values are taken from IEE wiring regulations BS7671 Table 4F1A Reference method 12 (cables in Free Air). The quoted values relate to non-armoured Single core, copper stranded cable with Rubber insulation and an operating temperature of 85°C. The de-rated values for ambient temperature are taken from Table 4H2A. RATED VOLTAGE The determined voltage of a connector from which the related operating characteristics are defined. CONTACT...
