Euromold 400TB Plug-In Separable Tee Connector MV HV

Nexans Euromold 400TB Bolted Tee Connectors are used to terminate MV-HV XLPE/EPR (polymeric) insulated cables up to 42kV into 400 Series Interface C Bushings with M16 bolted connections on the medium/high voltage electrical equipment according to CENELEC EN50180 and EN50181.

Euromold 400TB connectors can be “piggy-backed” and installed in multiple connector configuration to a single MV-HV bushing using the correct mating part.

  • 630A Connector Continuous Current Rating
  • 42kV Connector Maximum Voltage Rating

Euromold 400TB bolted tee connectors are specified to terminate and connect medium/high voltage cables in the following voltage classes:

  • 6/10 (12kV)
  • 6.35/11 (12kV)
  • 8.7/15 (17.5kV)
  • 12/20 (24kV)
  • 12.7/22 (24kV)
  • 18/30 (36) kV
  • 19/33 (36) kV
  • 20.8/36 (42) kV

To select the correct Euromold 400TB connector for termination of MV HV power cables with copper wire screen or tape screen to Interface C bushings (630 Amp) full cable specification with dimensional information is required – see the Euromold 400TB download opposite for complete technical specification of the elbow connector.

See the installation instructions for Euromold 400TB separable elbow connectors Type C Interface – the document covers (K) (M) (P) 400TB/G separable tee connectors for Type C interfaces. Euromold connectors should be installed only by competent jointers trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment.

The Nexans Euromold 400TR is used for the 400TB Tee Connector Type. The Euromold 400TR MV Test Rods are designed to find cable fault location, phase checking and cable testing up to 11kV/24kV.

Euromold 400TB

The Euromold 400TB tee connector with 630A current rating is designed for Interface C and covers voltages from 11kV/12kV to 33kV/42kV with a maximum conductor size of 300sqmm.

Euromold 400TB plug-in tee connectors can be supplied as a elbow connector (400LB) and with surge arrester 400PB  – all suitable for use with Interface C Symmetrical type bushings on SF6 gas-insulated switchgear.

Euromold 400TB separable tee connectors are designed to connect all polymeric screened cables to suit CENELEC Interface Type C (630amp) equipment bushings with M16 bolted connection up to 42kV.

Designed to connect polymeric insulated cables with a copper wire screen but can be used on wire armoured, copper tape screen cables with the use of additional screen earth kits and accessories.

Euromold Kit MT is required for use with copper tape screened cables, typically BS6622 cable – this comprises 3 lengths of tinned copper earth braid and constant force springs, the earth braid includes a soldered end with stud hole for the earthing connection to the HSGK cable gland or grounding point.

400TB bolted tee connectors are suitable for terminating MV-HV cables with either “easy-peel” or bonded semicon screens – the 400 Series tee connectors are specified for indoor cable termination applications, apply suffix (MWS) for outdoor cable connections where additional water-sealing and blocking mastic is required.

SELECTING EUROMOLD 400tb CONNECTORS

Provide complete manufacturers cable specification and actual bushing interface type to ensure compatibility of the Euromold connector with the medium/high voltage cable, switchgear or electrical equipment. Specification and design of the Euromold 400TB separable connector is available as a download opposite.

Euromold Connector Installation

  • For MV HV cables with aluminium conductors wire brush the conductor before installing the conductor contact
  • Fit the contact on to the conductor
  • Position the crimp contact ensuring that the contact hole aligns with the bushing hole
  • Prior to crimping distance «Z» must be between 150mm and 160mm
  • Crimp the contact. Refer to the crimp chart for crimping sequence
  • After crimping distance «Z» must be between 155mm and 165mm
  • If necessary adjust the position of the cable reducer until distance «Z» is within the tolerance range
  • Remove any burrs left after crimping and wipe-off excess inhibitor using approved cable cleaning wipes

 

Euromold 400TB Connectors

  • Clean and lightly lubricate the inside surface of the 400TB connector housing and outer surface of the cable reducer
  • Check if the angle of the tee connector housing is correct relative to the palm of the crimp contact and, whilst preventing the cable reducer from further movement down the cable, gently slide the housing on the cable until it cannot advance any further
  • Make sure the cable reducer stays in place during installation and remove tape marker from the cable
