RSTI Terminated HVCA Installation-Bushings (English)
This video shows the installation of the RSTI-68 connector terminated HV cable assembly (HVCA) on bushings.
T-Connector Rail
Our rail approved T-connectors for rolling stock - Type C interface provide a safe interface with the transformer and are part of the sealed roofline system. These industry standard elbow connectors are made from silicon and are compliant to the standard EN45545.
The T-connector family is optimized and tested specifically for the rail market and meets smoke and fire norm EN45545-2:2013 – HL2 as well as shock and vibration standards IEC 61373: 2010. Additionally a high voltage switching transients accelerated life test has been performed, a special TE in-house developed test method to simulate the typical transient effects generated in rolling stock roofline applications.
Main Features
- The insulation of the T-connector is made of a highly modified silicone rubber characterized by high tracking resistance and non-flammability. This offers a reliable operation over an extremely wide range of temperatures.
- Easy disconnecting of the ground lead ensures easy installation and testing.
- A thin walled screen is permanently bonded onto the insulation that protects the connection system against accidental contact.
- The overall dimensions are designed to take up minimum space.
- Easily accessible rear plug with capacitive test point for determining whether the circuit is energized. A conductive cap protects this test point.
- Design is made for applications up to 800A and fits both 630A and 125 A bushings (Interface “C1” and “C2”) as specified by EN50180 and EN50181.
- The T-connector is compatible with a CLC/TS 50537 compliant bushing.
- Suitable for train interior and exterior HV connections (mechanical protection recommended for exterior installations).
- The wide application range covers cable cross sections from 50 to 240 mm2.
- Conductor connection with 800A DIN copper lugs.
- Suitable for – but not limited to – 18/30 kV and 26/45 kV cables for rolling stock such as: Prysmian/Draka TENAX-TRAIN-Plus Cable and Nexans Flamex Panto cable
