TE Connectivity (TE) further extends its comprehensive portfolio of separable connectors with the new generation of TE´s Raychem Screened Elbow and Straight Separable connectors RSES/RSSS.
TE’s Raychem Screened Elbow and Straight Separable connectors RSES/RSSS are designed to connect single-core polymeric cables to medium voltage gas insulated switchgears and other equipments using bushings type “A” (according to EN 50180/EN 50181) specified for 250A continuous current. The RSES and RSSS connectors are compliant with CENELEC HD 629.1 S2 02/2006+A1:2008. and tested for a system voltage up to 24 kV.
Made of a combination of durable EPDM rubber for the outer body and highly modified silicone rubber for the inner insulation, RSES and RSSS are equally suited for indoor and outdoor installations even in harshest environments while offering outstanding electrical performance. The separable connectors are screened by an earthed outer conductive layer that ensures a safe and reliable operation. Furthermore the improved cable adapter with integrated sealing enables a fast and easy installation.
Using mechanical shear bolt cable lugs, RSES and RSSS are easy and quick to install while supporting a wide range of different cable cross sections (16-150 mm²). TE’s RSES and RSSS connectors can be equipped with a capacitive Voltage Detection (VD) point to determine the presence of voltage in the cable network or with a Metal Housing (MH) for an extra level of safety to protect against electric shock.
TE´s RSES and RSSS separable connectors have been tested in accordance with the international specifications (e.g. CENELEC HD 629.1 S2 02/2006+A1:2008) based on the ratings given below. The cable lugs supplied with the separable connectors have been tested in accordance with IEC 61238-1 on aluminium and copper conductors in the given ranges.
