Cold Shrink Joints 33kV 36kV | Single Core Cables | Nexans CSJS-B

Cold Shrink Joints 33kV 36kV Single Core Cables Nexans CSJS-B
Cold Shrink Joints 33kV 36kV
Nexans CSJS-B are single phase compact cold shrink joints – size B cable joint suits from 95sqmm to 400sqmm single core cables up to 36kV with GPH bolted type mechanical connectors meeting HD 629.1 S2 International Standards.
The CSJS-B combines cold shrink and bolted connector technologies (shearbolts) for reliable underground MV joints and connections in a small cable trench (max=1m) or in specific aerial applications.
The Nexans cold shrink cable joints have been designed to connect 33kV/36kV single core polymeric cables (XLPE EPR) with cable cross sections from 50sqmm to 400sqmm whether they are aluminium or copper conductor cores on underground MV power cables.
