Euromold Connectors
Water Sealing, IP Rating & Temperature Range
In this Webisode Nexans answer frequently asked questions regarding water sealing, IP rating and temperature range of the Euromold connectors.
Are Euromold Connectors Watertight?
Yes, these EPDM connectors are completely watertight for the connection and cable termination of medium/high voltage power cables to electrical equipment including ring-main units, switchgear and transformers.
No ingress is possible at the bushing interface, rear interface or cable entrance of the Euromold connector.
Furthermore, the cable adaptor provides water sealing of the cable itself.
In the case of copper wire screen, water sealing mastic is applied on the cable jacket or sheath.
Therefore the IP rating of the Euromold connectors is IP67. This means that the screened separable connectors are completely dust tight and suitable for immersion in water of 1 metre depth or less.
The operating temperature range of these Euromold connectors is minus 60 degrees to 130 degrees Celsius.
However, due to the temperature range of an Epoxy Bushing the actual temperature range of the application is from minus 40 degrees to 115 degrees Celsius.
