LV Insulated Piercing Connectors By Pfisterer

Low Voltage Live Working (1kV) & Cable Jointing

Live line working is increasingly essential in low voltage networks. Ensuring safe live line working is imperative even at low voltages. Bolted connectors used for this purpose should be easy to install and ensure the best possible occupational safety.

The LV insulated piercing connector family from PFISTERER has been developed to meet today’s practical requirements.

Durable contacts come as standard, and have been a PFISTERER core competence for nearly 100 years.

Insulated Piercing Connectors LV

Benefits

• Increased occupational safety
• IP2X / creepage distance
• Ideal for live line working (AuS)
• Quick and simple Installation
• No stripping of conductors required
• Shear-off bolts prevent installation mistakes
• Reliable design – electrical & mechanical  qualified according to IEC 61238-1 class A
• Compact dimensions – less cast resin when jointing cables
• Applicable with resin and heat shrink sleeves

Cover caps with “spiral spring”

• Touch-safe during all installation steps

Insulation body

• IP2X protection against finger contact

SICON Technology

• Stepless shear bolt: Full utilisation of the thread loading ensures optimum contact forces

Inspection hole

• Easily check the position of the conductor in the connector

Plastic flaps

• Protection against accidental contact

Insulating barrier

• Extends the creepage distance

Elastomer inlay

• Protects against contact after the bolts sheared off

Piercing technology

• Rotatable friction disc pierces the insulation: Makes reliable contact trough the conductor insulation on paper and plastic insulated cables

Tin-plated connector body

• Prevents the formation of an oxidation layer

Advantage of the patented, movebale friction disc

Good piercing function of the bolt in case of the rotating “sharp” disc. High head friction	Good piercing function of the bolt caused by the high contact force in case of low head friction

Comparison contact technique
