Features and Benefits
 
Lightweight cast Aluminum components that provide strength and coupler durability.
MCS custom manufactured special strain relief entrance fitting:
Special self-centering entrance fitting ensures balanced cable strain relief and water sealing
Individually machined phase insulators made of high dielectric polymer:
Made of break resistant material and individually removable.
Individual Phase contacts and insulators can be shielded to ground
Machined high strength stainless steel and bronze corrosion resistant hardware
Unique set screw(mechanical), compression style or solder style connector system eliminates conductor pull-out under normal operating conditions.
Silver plated contacts (optional)
 
Coupler Options
 
Inter-phase ground shielding: Ensures that all faults would be phase to ground, not phase to phase.
Powder or Epoxy coated body components
Fiber-Optics capable
Multiple Interconnection options
Longer main body to accommodate larger cable and conductors.
Adapter plates for a variety of cable strain relief options.
