Insulated Piercing Connector (Bare to Covered)

Code: N/A

Description

IPCs designed for bare-to-covered conductor applications are vital for integrating bare conductors into Medium Voltage Covered Conductor (MVCC) systems. They are especially useful when connecting bare conductors from older installations to modern covered systems for network extensions or upgrades.

These IPCs simplify the installation process by reducing labor and time while maintaining the integrity of the covered conductor. Their design ensures effective electrical performance and minimizes the risk of connection failure, even in harsh environmental conditions. These connectors are widely used for network transitions, tap-offs, and system upgrades, enhancing the efficiency and reliability of MVCC systems.

Material

  • Body: Black High Strength Engineering Polymer
  • Contact Plates: Tinned Copper or Aluminium Alloy
  • Fasteners: Galvanised Steel
  • Shear Nut: Aluminium / Engineering Polymer / Composite

 

Features and Benefit

  • Standard Compliance: Complies with national and international testing standards (BS EN 50397-2).
  • Quick Installation: Eliminates the need to strip the conductor, reducing installation time.
  • Reliable Electrical Connection: Ensures a low-resistance connection through precision-engineered contact points.
  • Safety: Minimizes the risk of conductor damage or installation errors.
  • Cost-Effective: Reduces the need for additional tools and minimizes operational downtime.
