Overview

Our CSBS Copper Shear Bolt Splices are range taking, shear bolt connectors for underground splices up to 35 kV. The tool required to install the copper mechanical connectors is a standard ratchet wrench with a hexagonal socket. The design incorporates shear head bolts, which ensures that the correct torque is applied to each bolt ensuring a high electrical contact between the conductor and the connector. Also, this method of installation reduces worker strain compared to a manual compression tool requiring significant force to operate.

A holding tool is recommended to avoid the core bending of conductors and can be ordered from TE (#IT-1000-019). TE’s cordless impact wrench (#T25446-000) can also be used to install the connector. This convenient and quick tool has been tested and qualified to install shear bolt connectors.

The Copper Shear Bolt Splice is supplied with two copper inserts assembled into the connector body to center small conductor sizes. For larger sizes, inserts are not required and are easily removed with a standard screwdriver.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: How will I know if TE's CSBS Copper Shear Bolt Splice is properly installed?

Answer: Our Copper Shear Bolt Splices has been designed with integrated shear head bolts. They are pre-engineered to shear at the appropriate torque level, ensuring correct torque is applied to each bolt and consequently, the optimal contact force is generated to minimize resistance.

 

Question: What is the primary application of the Copper Shear Bolt Splices?

Answer: The primary application of our Copper Shear Bolt Splice is to connect underground cable splices at voltages up to 35 kV.

 

Question: Can Copper Shear Bolt Splices be used with TE's Raychem cable accessories?

Answer: Our Copper Shear Bolt Splices are compatible with Raychem heat shrink and cold applied splices and termination kits for underground applications up to 35 kV.

 

Question: Is a torque wrench required to install the Copper Shear Bolt Splices?

Answer: Our Copper Shear Bolt Splices do not require the use of a torque wrench, they can be installed with an impact wrench or a standard ratchet.

 

Question: Which range of conductors can accommodate the Copper Shear Bolt Splices?

Answer: Our Copper Shear Bolt Splices are mechanical connectors that can accommodate a wide range of copper cable from #2 AWG compact stranded to 1000 kcmil concentric stranded.
