Description
IPCs Insulation Piercing Connector for Covered Conductors
IPCs for covered conductors insulation piercing connector provide a fast,convenient and reliable method of connecting overhead low voltage mains to services or other mains.All common types of conductors can be interconnected,including insulated aluminum or copper.The IPCs can be used in copper-to-copper, copper-to-aluminum, and aluminum-to-aluminum solid or stranded wire applications.Fully insulated bolt provides safe live line working. Both main and branch conductor insulations are pierced by single bolt action. Test voltage 6 kV/50 Hz/1 min in water. Connector’s design enables live line installation without peeling insulation from conductor.
Application cable:
Main cable: Insulated copper or aluminum
Tap cable: Insulated copper or aluminum
Not suitable for multi stranded flexible cable or neutral screened cable.
