Euromold 484TB Tee Connector 11kV 33kV 42kV

Dead Break Elbow Connector

Euromold 484TB Plug-In Separable Tee Connector MV HV 

Nexans Euromold 484TB bolted tee elbow 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 switchgear, transformer or electrical equipment.

• 1250A Connector Continuous Current Rating
• 42kV Connector Maximum Voltage Rating

Euromold 484TB is a screened separable tee connector specified to terminate and connect medium/high voltage cables in the following voltage classes:

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

To select the correct Euromold 484TB connector for termination of MV HV power cables with copper wire screen or tape screen to Interface C bushings (630 Amp | 1250 Amp) full cable specification with dimensional information is required – see the Euromold 484TB download opposite for complete technical specification of the elbow connector.

See the installation instructions for Euromold 484TB separable elbow connectors Type C Interface – the document covers (K) (M) (P) 484TB/G connectors including 33kV/36kV Interface C switchgear/transformer connections up to 42kV.

Euromold connectors should be installed only by competent jointers trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment.

Euromold 484TB

The Euromold 484TB tee connector with 630A – 1250A current rating is designed for Interface C and covers voltages from 12kV to 42kV with a maximum conductor size of 630sqmm.

Euromold 484TB plug-in tee connectors can be supplied as a straight connector (450SR) or a coupling connector (800PB, 804PB or 809PB) and with surge arresters (800SA or 300SA) – all suitable for use with Interface C Compact type bushings on SF6 gas-insulated switchgear.

Euromold 484TB separable tee connectors are designed to connect all polymeric screened cables to suit CENELEC Interface Type C (630-1250amp) equipment bushings with M16 bolted connection up to 24kV.

Piggy-Back Bushing Connections & Terminations

484TB tee connector can also be used to connect cables together using the appropriate mating part and parallel “piggy-back” connectors are also available to enable multiple connections to a single bushing.

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.

484TB connectors are suitable for terminating MV-HV cables with either “easy-peel” or bonded semicon screens – the 400 Series elbow connectors are specified for indoor cable termination applications, apply suffix (MWS) for outdoor cable connections where additional water-sealing and blocking mastic is required.

Connector accessories include: dead-end receptacle, dead-end plug, stand-off plug and earthing plug for type C Compact interfaces.

EUROMOLD 484TB Specification

Euromold 484TB Tee 11kV 33kV 42kV – Design

Separable tee connector comprising:

1. Conductive EPDM insert.
2. Conductive EPDM jacket.
3. Insulating EPDM layer moulded between the insert and the jacket.
4. Type C – interface as described by CENELEC EN 50180 and 50181.
5. Conductor connector.
6. Basic insulating plug (with VD point).
7. Cable reducer.
8. Conductive rubber cap.
9. Stud+nut+washer.
10. Earthing lead.

The thick conductive EPDM jacket provides a safe to touch screen which ensures safety for personnel, cables and electrical equipment in medium/high voltage installations. The screen break design enables cable outer sheath testing without removing or dismantling the connector.

SELECTING EUROMOLD 484TB 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 484TB separable bolted tee connectors are available as a download opposite.

Euromold 484TB Installed On Interface C Bushing

The connector and Interface C bushing should be cleaned and lightly lubricated before pushing the 484TB connector onto the bushing.

Clean and lubricate the insulating plug for the opposite side of the 484TB connector. Insert the plug in the connector and tighten assembly – use torque wrench with socket of 22 and tighten exerting 30 Nm (3 kgm or 22,1 foot-pounds) of torque. In order to achieve the correct applied torque to the separable connector ensure that there is no lubricant on the threaded parts.
