Product Functions

1. Insulated Underground Termination: Provides a fully-shielded, submersible, and insulated plug-in connection to seamlessly terminate underground high-voltage cables to pad-mounted transformers, switching cabinets, and junctions.2. 200A Loadbreak Switching: Acts as a fully rated 200 A loadbreak switching device operable with a hotstick under live-line conditions, simplifying engineering operation and routine maintenance.3. Enhanced Moisture Ingress Sealing: The optional integral jacket seal (LEJ215 series) is molded directly to the elbow body, providing a quick, robust seal to the cable jacket to prevent moisture ingress without separate sealing products. 

Key Features

1. Peroxide-Cured EPDM Integrity: Molded using high-quality peroxide-cured insulating and semi-conducting EPDM rubber, delivering uniform electrical stress distribution and excellent resistance to thermocycling or interface tracking.2. Dependable Arc-Ablative Technology: The tin-plated copper probe incorporates an advanced ablative arc follower tip to guarantee crisp, highly reliable arc-extinguishing and dependable loadbreak switching characteristics.3. Convenient Capacitive Test Point: Equipped with an optional corrosion-resistant, conductive plastic test point electrode, providing a consistent capacitive voltage source for fault indicator application and easy hotstick circuit-energized checking.4. Inertia-Welded Coppertop Connector: Features a high-reliability transition connector where the aluminum barrel is inertia-welded to a copper lug, ensuring low-resistance, tight, cool electrical operation with the probe.5. Reliable Deadfront Safety Protection: Formulated with molded-in grounding tabs attached to the semi-conductive shield, ensuring a continuous solid path to ground and fulfilling all protective requirements of standard electrical specifications.
