Pfisterer Connex Inner Cone Plugs- High Voltage Cable Terminations

The Pfisterer MV-Connex plug is suitable for all kinds of insulated plastic cables, as well as a wide range of standard types there are also customer-specific versions for every cable type. Generally used to terminate high voltage single core power cables, Pfisterer MV-Connex inner cone plugs exclude steel wire armour (SWA) earthing and heat-shrink cable breakouts for sealing 3 core cable crotches.

Pfisterer medium voltage Connex cable connectors are designed to meet EN 50180 (bushings for liquid filled transformers up to 52kV), EN 50181 (plug-in type bushings up to 33/36kV for equipment other than filled transformers) and DIN 47637 (separable accessories for power cable for bushing with inside cone).

Pfisterer MV-Connex Pluggable Connection System Advantages

• No liquid insulating medium
• No need to open the cable termination at the installation site
• Deckwater-proof
• Suitable for outdoor use
• Thorough transformer and GIS testing by manufacturer possible
• Metal enclosed
• Fully insulated
• Touch proof
• Free from arcing
• High short-circuit protection
• Maintenance free
• Soil- and offshore-proof (optional)

11kV, 33kV, 52kV XLPE Cable Preparation For Terminating With Pfisterer Connex High Voltage Inner Cone Plugs 

"Fully-bonded" semi-conducting screen layers - use stop ring provided in Pfisterer Connex plugs against cable jacket cut. Using bonded screen removal/stripping tool peel the high voltage cable screen to the power cable jacket cut (dimension per Pfisterer Jointing Instruction). Ensure diameter of XLPE cable insulation lies within the diameter range of the Pfisterer Connex insulating part.

Easy-strip" semi-conducting screen layers - mark the extruded "easy-strip" removable semi-con layer (dimension per Pfisterer Connex Jointing Instruction). Roughen the high voltage (HV) cable screen with electrical-grade emery cloth with max. 120 grain (eg Al-Oxide 120 Grain). Use correct HV screen stripping pliers and set depth to level that ensures XLPE cable conductor is not damaged. Cut cable insulation and remove according to Pfisterer Connex instructions.

If in doubt, contact T&D or Pfisterer Connex for cable jointer advice.

Note : Pfisterer Connex Plugs should only be installed by Pfisterer Connex Trained Cable Jointers using correct approved Pfisterer Connex Tool Sets.
