Euromold Compact Connectors
Installation & Clamping Onto Their Mating Bushings MV HVÂ
In this Webisode Nexans will show you how to correctly install the Euromold Compact Connectors onto their mating bushings of MV HV electrical equipment including switchgear and transformers providing power distribution at 11kV/33kV.
It is important to install the separable connector on its mating bushing in the correct way.
After cleaning and lightly lubricating both the connector and the bushing interface, you can push the connector onto the bushing.
You can now insert the clamping screw into the threaded hole of the bushing. It is important to do this hand first, to correctly engage the threads and avoid cross-threading.
Then a torque wrench should be used to tighten the clamping screw. The tightening torque that needs to be applied is specified in the installation instructions that come with the kit.
What About the Nexans Stud-nut Version?
With the stud-nut you first need to install the stud into the threaded hole of the bushing interface before doing anything else. The installation instructions indicate which tools can be used and which torque needs to be applied. What to do next?
How do Nexans continue with the installation?
- Clean & lightly lubricate both the connector and the bushing interface, before pushing the connector onto the bushing
- DO NOT lubricate the threaded stud or any other threaded parts. The next step is to install the nut onto the threaded stud
- Screw it onto the screw by hand just like the installation of the clamping screw. Use a torque wrench to tighten the nut
- The tightening torque that needs to be applied is specified in the installation instructions that come with the kit
- Complete the instructions of the connector by installing the basic insulating plug and cap by following the steps in the installation instructions
Please Note: Only the components included in the kit should be used.
