Elpress Screw Connectors and Terminals

Product overview

Elpress Screw Connectors and Terminals – By means the enclosed special washers for Elpress Screw Terminals, two bolt dimensions may be used in one palm hole size, see table and image below. The required stocking of different terminals for different bolts is hereby heavily reduced.

Elpress Screw Connectors and Terminals are used at low and medium voltages and for:

• Stranded and solid Al and Cu Conductors.
• Round cross sections 10mm² up to 630mm².
• Sector cross sections 16mm² up to 240mm².
• Up to 36kV.
• Supplied in sealed plastic bag with detailed instructions for use.

Connection to the conductors is achieved by tightening the screws in the Through Connector or Terminal to a predetermined torque. Through Connectors and Terminals are made of aluminium. The Terminal palm is made of copper and the accompanying screws Elpress uses are made of brass to reduce fiction and facilitate installation.

Tools for assembly can be a spanner/ wrench or a battery-operated impact wrench which has a high torque force, >100Nm. To  facilitate installation there is holding tool, ISL2201, to hold the screw connector in its right position during tightening of the screws. The screw connectors have a partition wall to enable jointing of oil-filled conductors to plastic-insulated XLPE conductors. The screw connectors meet the requirements of IEC 61238-1.

Marking
Elpress marking of screw connections shows logo, product name, conductor area (for stranded and solid conductors) and assembly order of the screws. The terminal palm is marked with bolt-size (M-thread) for bolt connections.
