Pfisterer Sicon High Voltage Mechanical Lugs 11kV-33kV
Pfisterer Sicon mechanical shearbolt lugs are used to terminate high voltage cable conductors, stranded copper or solid aluminium, prior to installing heat shrink or cold shrink cable terminations.
The Pfisterer Sicon shearbolt cable lugs and connectors have revolutionised the way shearbolt connectorsoperate. Conventional shearbolts have several pre-determined steps for shear points. The Sicon cable terminating system is stepless. Shearing occurs flush with the surface of the connector, so filling or filing is no longer necessary. A standard hex allen key is used for tightening so no special tools are needed for low and high voltage cable connecting and terminating without resort to crimping tools.
Suitable for use with 3M Cold Shrink cable joints and cable terminations
Installation of High Voltage Mechanical Shearbolt Cable Lugs
Strip the high voltage cable insulation for the distance specified in the cable jointing procedure.
With HV copper cable conductors, it may be necessary to wrap them with brass gauze.
With HV solid shaped aluminium conductors, it may be necessary to straighten or twist the core using special cable core twisting tools before inserting them into the connector. Wen tightening/shearing the bolts the HV connector can be held with an insulated holding tool.
To prevent HV cable core bending and damage to the insulation whilst shearing the bolts, always hold the body of the connector with a grip device before shearing the bolts.
On completion of the connector installation, recover all the sheared off bolt heads and count them to check that the number of heads recovered is the same as the number of bolts fitted. This ensures that the cable jointer has not trapped bolt heads, for example inside the insulation tubes. Check that all bolts have sheared correctly, at or just below the surface of the connector.
