MECHANICAL CONNECTORS AND REPAIR SLEEVES (BSM) FOR LOW AND MEDIUM VOLTAGE APPLICATION UP TO 42 KV

SMICO mechanical connectors and repair sleeves are designed for use in low and medium voltage applications. Only three sizes cover conductor sizes from 25 mm2 to 400 mm2. All products consist of a tin-plated body, shear-head bolts and inserts for small conductor sizes.

Made of special aluminium alloy, these contact bolts are double shearhead bolts with hexagon heads. The bolts are treated with a highly lubricating agent. Contact bolts are irremovable once their heads have been sheared off . The Lug body is made of a high-tensile, tin-plated aluminium alloy. The internal surface of the conductor holes are grooved.

Connectors are chamfered at the edges and available with or without oil barrier (as blocked and unblocked types) depending on the application requirements. The bolted fi tting featured herein was developedspecifi cally for use in medium voltage cable accessories up to 42 kV. Theymay also be used in the 1 kV range.

Before using mechanical connectors in cable accessories, confi rm thatthey are suitable for the given application and if necessary consult the manufacturer.
