8kV, 250A Cable & Equipment Couplers
|
These cable couplers are rugged and specially designed for use in mines and tunneling. Medium voltage couplers can be manufactured to be compatible with all other couplers of North American design. These couplers are fully sealed when installed and can be used in wet and dusty environments as they are designed to be IP57 compliant.

Typical Applications Include:
Connections of Shovel/Drills in mine operations
Tunnel Boring Machines
Container Port Cranes
Lumber Portal Cranes
Features and Benefits
Lightweight cast Aluminum components that provide strength and coupler durability.
MCS custom manufactured special strain relief entrance fitting with 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.
Coupler Accessories
Skids
Junction Boxes
Electrical Rating
Voltage: 8000 Volts AC
