FILOform’s US range of service branch connectors has been designed to connect stranded circular or sector shaped services to three or four core stranded sector shaped mains conductors in the ranges specified in the table in the specifications tab.
Ease of fitting and simplicity of use were fundamental objectives adopted in the design of this range of connectors, and the shear head screw principle ensures that a reliable and consistent connection is achieved without the need for specialised tooling.
Material – Aluminum Alloy
Fitting instructions
Seperate the main cable cores sufficiently to allow the yoke section to be fitted around the conductor and strip the insulation from the core equal to the connector length plus 5mm. Cut the service conductor length, strip the insulation to suit, then seperate the indervidual strands and splay out to form a single layer that will spread out over the back radius of the mains conductor.
loosley assemble the connector around the cores by inserting the bridge piece and loacating the pressure pad over the splayed out service strands, then tightning the shear head screw until positive location is achieved. Check for even distribution of the service strands then finally tighten the screw until the head shears off.
If copper conductors are to be jointed they should be wrapped in brass guaze. in case of of a copper servce conductor being jointed onto a stranded aluminum main, care must be taken to ensure that the individual strands of the service conductor are spread out in the fashion described above within the wrap of the brass guaze.
All conductors must be thoroughly abraided.
