Insulation Piercing Connector DP10 fire-retardant electrical piercing clamp

DP10 fire-retardant electrical piercing clamp

The insulation piercing connectors are applicable for all types of LV-ABC conductors as well as connections in service line system, building electrical system and street lighting system. Insulation piercing connectors can be easily done by tightening the bolts to force the teeth penetrate the insulation of main line and tap line simultaneously. Stripping of insulation is avoided for both lines.

● Main line: Insulated aluminium cable

● Tap line: Insulated aluminium cable or Insulated copper cable

● Body is moulded from tough and weather resistant materials

● Special designed shear head bolt allows efficient installation under controlled shear torque which ensure the contact teeth properly penetrate the conductor without damaging the mechanical strength of the conductor

● Tested for watertightness at the voltage of 6kV for 1min under water

● Safe live-line installation

● Seals and grease are applied to prevent moisture entering the cable and connector which guarantees excellent waterproof and corrosion resistant performance

● End cap is attached to the body. No loose parts could fall to ground during installation 

● Standard: EN 50483-4, NFC 33-020, NFC 33-004

Location

1. STREET LIGHT CONNECTIONS 

In this application, insulation piercing clamp are generally used to tap the main ABC Cable and connecting it to a service line that powers streetlights or other applications.

2.DISTRIBUTION BOX CHARGING CONNECTION

These insulated piercing connector are used to tap the main ABC Cable Line to charge Low Voltage Distribution Boxes which are further connected to different applications such as residential connections, street lights, etc. SMICO Low Voltage Distribution Boxes can provide up to 9 outgoing connections for each incoming line.

3.JUMPER CONNECTION

These IPC are generally used with the same size of cable on each side to facilitate T-Connections (90° turns) or any other high angle turn.

4.TAP OFF/MULTI-TAP CONNECTION TO HOUSEHOLDS

These insulation piercing connector are used to tap the main ABC Cable and bring power to households. Using the Multiport IPC, a one-tap connection from the mainline can be used to bring connections to multiple households.
