Earthing Link Box | LBM 3A Types
Earthing Link Box LBM 3A
Designed for reliable cross bonding and earthing concepts, which are made through removable links, Pfisterer Earthing Link Box LBM 3A Types are used to bond and earth MV HV power cables. Equipped with a safety earthing connection adapter and insulated ratchet wrench & ring spanner, the Earthing Link Box offers a robust wall type design, withstanding harsh operating conditions and contributes to high availability of plants.
Pfisterer’s LBM 3A Types of Earthing Link Boxes (registered National Grid types) don’t contain Sheath Voltage Limiters (SVL), making it less costly, with a simplified and more compact design without the feature of limiting voltage build up on the cable sheath. The Earthing Link Box LBM 3A is suitable for use in environments with a low risk of transient surges.

132kV Link Boxes | MV HV Power Cables & Systems
The range of MV HV Link Boxes up to 132kV are paired and installed with cold/heat shrink MV HV Cable Joints & Terminations on medium voltage or high voltage power systems, providing ease of access to shield breaks for test purposes, as well as limiting voltage build-up on the sheath. Technically better known as “Disconnectable Link Box” for its sound design and construction features, make for an ideal MV or HV underground power cable system accessory, alongside other essential MV HV accessories, such as Cable Lugs, Cable Connectors & Screened Separable Connectors. Link Boxes are also electrically and mechanically one of the integral accessories of HV underground cable Bonding Systems, associated with HV XLPE power cable systems.
