Medium Voltage

CAMSV
Contrax straight-through joint with pre-molded joint
body and mechanical connector, available with cold
shrinkable or heat shrinkable outer protection

D913 | SAP-No. 356971 | 0616

Simplified installation and guaranteed reliability
Easy to install and fail-safe, those two characteristics distinguish the CAMSV straight-through joint from other
solutions. In accordance with Cellpack's proven Contrax technology, a single-piece, slip-on insulating body
integrates all major components. This simplifies greatly the assembly, thus minimizing installation errors.
Through the compact, simplified design installers and network operators benefit from high reliability and
reduced installation costs.

Outer protection options

One system – two versions. Depending on the application the Contrax CAMSV straight-through joint is available
with a cold shrinkable or a heat shrinkable outer protection system.

Awarded Excellence
The CAMSV joint embodies the long-standing experience
of Cellpack and the specialization in high voltage of the
Zittau / Görlitz University. The cooperatively developed
joint has been officially recognized as a modern and
qualitative connection system and was a winner of the
Scientific-Transfer Prize of the Lausitz Economic Initiative.

The special shape of the joint-body implements the
geometrical control principle, which regulates the
electrical field. The inner conductive layer forms a
Faraday cage in the connector area and makes the
use of further components unnecessary.

The pre-molded joint-body

The core of the Contrax CAMSV straight- through joint is the silicone pre-molded body with a high dielectrical
strength. The inner conductive layer, which serves as a Faraday cage in the connector area, the main insulation layer
as also the outer conductive layer are being produced in a controlled injection process. Extended quality controls
and individual high voltage tests ensure a high operational reliability. The pre-installed applicator facilitates the
optimal positioning of the body during the installation. Thus the joint-body encloses the connector completely.
Thanks to its specially designed and perfect adjusted shape the body slips automatically into the correct position
over the connector. This is a key feature for avoiding installation faults.

The customized connector

The supplied mechanical connector was developed specifically for this joint. It is constructed from a tinned aluminum
alloy and therefore suitable for Cu and Al conductors.

Chamfered and rounded ends ensure an easy,

damage-free slipping of the body

A constant tightening force and an optimized

screw design avoid any sharp edges

Internal grooves and an offset arrangement

of the screws ensure an optimum adhesion
of the conductor

Removable inlays provide a big application range

of 95-300 mm² whereby an integrated separator
makes possible the connection of conductors of
different materials
