600 A 15/25 kV class insulated
protective cap
Description
Eaton meets the full requirements of IEEE Std
386™-2006 standard – Separable Insulated
Connector Systems, and provides insulated, fully
shielded submersible protection for energized
15 and 25 kV class deadbreak interfaces with
its Cooper Power™ series 600 A, 15/25 kV class
insulated protective cap. The cap is required
for temporary or permanent installation on
15/25kV deadbreak bushings, junctions and other
accessories having interfaces that conform to IEEE
Std 386™-2006 standard.
The cap design includes a semiconducting EPDM
insert for stress relief and high quality peroxide
cured EPDM insulation. The molded EPDM semiconducting shield maintains ground potential
on the cap’s surface when the drain wire is
connected to a common ground.

protective cap. Bottom image shows U-OP™/
T-OP™ II connector insulated protective cap.)
Installation
No special tools are required. A hotstick tool is
used to place the protective cap on a de-energized
bushing. Refer to Service Literature S600-63-1
15, 25, and 35 kV Protective Cap Installation
Instructions for further information.
