Euromold 400LR Ordering Instructions

Select the Nexans Euromold connector part number from the below table which provides the best centring to the cable core insulation diameter and substitute X according to the conductor size and type. For 24kV connectors add a “K” or add “M” for 33kV/36kV connectors.

Euromold Connector Order Example – the MV-HV cable to be terminated is XLPE insulation 11kV/12kV with 150sqmm stranded copper conductor with a core insulation diameter over the medium/high voltage power cable of 23.5mm. Order Code: Nexans Euromold 400LR/G-19-150(K)M-11-2.
