Our Raychem ELBC is the next generation of Separable Connectors. It combines the material advantage of EPDM and silicone rubber, and integrates a voltage sensor to increase grid transparency.
Our Raychem Screened Separable Elbow Connection System ELBC are designed to connect polymeric cables to medium voltage gas insulated switchgears, transformers, motors which are using bushings type “C” according to EN 50180/EN 50181 specified for 630 A continuous current. The hybrid ELBC connectors are compliant with CENELEC HD 629.1 S3 and tested for a maximum system voltage up to 24 kV.
The new hybrid ELBC combines the material advantages of both EPDM and silicone rubber materials and therefore, provides a long service life and easy installation. A durable EPDM insulation body provides a hard-wearing as well as weather resistant performance, not only for indoor but also for outdoor applications in harsh environments. A silicone stress cone adapter ensures a fast and easy installation even on larger cable cross sections, and the hard body of ELBC eases the handling during push-on and connection procedure.
In conjunction with the new generation of Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), our Raychem ELBC integrates a voltage sensor providing a measuring signal for grid management applications like monitoring, power quality, protection or metering, as well as asset management applications, like PD monitoring.
Key Features

Our Separable Connectors are engineered to optimize performance and solve your switchgear and transformer connection challenges in IEC, IEEE and GB/T power grids.
Question: What is the application range of the new Raychem ELBC Elbow for type C bushing?
Answer: Our Raychem hybrid ELBC covers up to 24 kV for up to 300 sqmm cables.
Question: How are the Separable Connectors and Voltage Sensors tested?
Answer: Our Raychem Separable Connectors and Voltage Sensors are tested according to cable accessories standard HD 629.1 and low power instrument transformer IEC 61869. Their compliance with these standards ensures a long-lasting and reliable performance of our products.
Question: What cable accessory standard was used for the type testing?
Answer: The test was done according to HD 629.1 S3 which is a higher standard than IEC 60502-4.
Question: Can I use my RSTI accessories with Raychem ELBC?
Answer: Yes. All RSTI test accessories like test rod, earthing adaptor or voltage sensors, are compatible with our Raychem ELBC as it integrates the same back plug.
Question: How can I precisely measure voltage/current in distribution networks?
Answer: To precisely measure the voltage or current in your power distribution network, you can use our Raychem Separable Connectors with Voltage Sensor. They will help you to improve the transparency of your network and to implement a smart grid.
Question: Can I use voltage sensors in secondary substations?
Answer: Yes, our Separable Connectors with Voltage Sensor can be installed in secondary substations. They are suitable for both new and retrofit applications.
