Overview

Our Dead Break Elbow series (ELB-15/28) is designed to terminate underground cables to high-voltage apparatus such as transformers and switchgear.  They are fully shielded and fully submersible and meet the requirements of IEEE Standard 386. They are interchangeable with other manufacturers’ products that conform with this industry standard. The molded semiconducting shield provides ground shield continuity per the requirements of IEEE 592. Meets IEEE 386-2006 specification requirements.

 

Our ELB-15/28 series are designed for use on extruded (XLPE or EPR) solid dielectric cable. The conductor range is from 1/0 AWG to 1250 kcmil for aluminum or copper conductors with insulation diameters from 0.640” to 1.965”. The ELB-15/28-610 and ELB-15/28-910 elbow has a capacitive test point molded into the elbow body which provides a means of sensing voltage and provides an attachment point for test point fault indicators. 900 A ratings can be achieved by ordering the kit with a copper shear bolt terminal.
