Loadbreak Elbow Connector – Safe, Reliable Medium Voltage Termination Solution

Winding Wire’s Loadbreak Elbow Connectors are engineered for use in medium-voltage underground distribution systems, offering a secure, flexible, and fully shielded separable connection. These connectors allow for loadbreak switching, meaning they can be safely connected or disconnected under load conditions, making them ideal for pad-mounted switchgear, transformers, and junctions.

Manufactured with high-quality EPDM insulation and precision-molded components, our loadbreak elbow connectors are tested to exceed IEEE 386 and ANSI/IEEE C119 standards, ensuring performance under a wide range of environmental and electrical stresses.

Key Features:

• Rated Voltage: 15kV, 25kV, and 35kV class systems
• Current Rating: Up to 200A continuous
• Construction: High-quality peroxide-cured EPDM rubber for insulation and semi-conductive shielding
• Interface: IEEE 386 standard separable connector interface
• Application: Suitable for live switching and sectionalizing in underground distribution systems
• Environmental Resistance: UV, ozone, moisture, and corrosion resistant
• Customization: Available in various sizes, cable ranges, and elbow configurations

Advantages:

• Enables safe load-break switching without the need for external tools
• Fully shielded and submersible design ensures operator safety
• Interchangeable with other IEEE 386-compliant connectors
• Optional accessories include loadbreak inserts, insulating plugs, and grounding bushings

Applications:

• Pad-mounted transformers and switchgear
• Subsurface vault systems
• Distribution cable riser poles
• Wind, solar, and industrial power distribution

With a robust design and dependable performance, Winding Wire’s Loadbreak Elbow Connectors offer a safe and efficient solution for modern medium-voltage distribution systems.
