Vendor Description

3M™ 200 A Industrial Loadbreak Elbow 5810 Series is a fully shielded and insulated plug in separable connector for connecting 5 to 15 kV underground cable to transformers, switchgear and junctions equipped with loadbreak bushings. The elbow and the bushing insert comprise the essential componets of all loadbreak connections. The 3M™ 200 A Industrial Loadbreak Elbow 5810 Series kits are designed for use on tape shield, wire shield, UniShield® and jacketed concentric neutral types of cables. The jacket seal for each of these cable types is accomplished by use of a specially designed cold shrink tube. This tube seals from the bottom of the elbow to the cable jacket. Also included in the kit are all the ground assemblies necessary to ground both the cable and the elbow. The loadbreak elbows are molded using high quality peroxide cured EPDM insulation. Standard features include a copper top connector, tin plated copper loadbreak probe with an ablative arc follower tip, stainless steel reinforced pulling eye and a capacitive test point. The copper top compression connector is a standard item to transition from the cable to the loadbreak probe. An aluminum crimp barrel is inertia-welded to a copper lug. The aluminum barrel makes the connector easy to crimp on both aluminum and copper conductors and the copper lug ensures a reliable, tight, cool operating connection with the loadbreak probe. Meets requirements of ANSI/IEEE Standard 386.
