Branch Connectors

Mostly in low voltage networks it is necessary to branch from a mains cable without cutting the mains. Underground house connections are a typical example. Branching may be required for all cable cores or for single core only. Connectors for these purposes are either multiple connectors or single connectors.

Live installation has its special part in branching underground cables, as it may be impossible during branch installation to disconnect all respective main cable users during installation time.

Multiple connectors as well as ring connectors enable branching of all cores of 3-, 3.5 - or 4 – core cables at the same time and are highly recommended for live installation. Ring Connectors are used for the insulation of piercing screws for mains contact.

Connectors for insulated conductors can be designed in a way to secure safe live installation. Insulation piercing screws are used again, if required also available with plastic shear head. These connectors are protected against direct physical contact to the greatest possible extent by a moulded housing, just as ring connectors.
