Two--, Three-- , and Four--Point Loadbreak Junctions
CONTENTS: Loadbreak Junction with Holdown Brackets and Hardware (as required), Shield Plate, Installaion Instructions.
The two --- , three--- , and four--- way loadbreak junctions are used for sectionalizing, looping, tapping or for apparatus change
out. These junctions provide interconnected apparatus interfaces for Elastimold 25kV class (15.2kV phase ---to ---ground
and 26.3kV phase---to--- phase) loadbreak connectors. A yellow band provides indication of fullelbow seating and also provides vents for improved switiching performance. This product is identified by a round yellow marker supplied with this kit.
Remove the adhesive backed marker and attached it to the mounting surface when it will be visable to operator.
