What are the different types of separable connectors for transformers and switchgear?
2025-08-14Separable connectors are key for a fully insulated connection to apparatus bushings. The most common types are classified by their function and interface:
-
Loadbreak Connectors: These can be connected and disconnected under voltage and load, often used for smaller, modular systems.
-
Deadbreak Connectors: These can only be connected or disconnected when the system is de-energized, making them suitable for high-current applications.
-
Inner Cone & Outer Cone Connectors: These describe the geometry of the connection to the apparatus bushing. Outer cone connectors are more common for medium-voltage applications, while inner cone connectors are often used for higher voltage systems.
Ningbo Changshi can supply you with the necessary cable termination and crimping tools to properly install these various connector types, ensuring a safe and lasting connection.
