TE Connectivity (TE) has decades of experience in the field of medium voltage termination systems for distribution networks. With TE´s new Raychem Screened Elbow and Straight Separable connectors RSES/RSSS, TE further extends its comprehensive and reliable switchgear connect portfolio.
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 equipment using bushings type “A” (according to EN 50180/EN 50181) specified for 250A continuous current. 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 connectors are equally suited for indoor and outdoor installations even in harshest environments while offering superior electrical performance. The separable connectors are screened by an earthed outer conductive layer that ensures a safe and reliable operation.
Using mechanical shearbolt cable lugs, RSES and RSSS are easy and quick to install while supporting wide ranges of different cable cross sections (16-95 mm2˛ and 70-150 mm2). TE’s RSES and RSSS connectors can be equipped with a capacitive Voltage Detection point (VD)˜ to determine the presence of voltage in the cable network.
