Norms and Regulations

All our connectors are electrically

interlocked by the pilot contacts.
To the right is a typical circuit for the
pilot contacts where the pins are loop
connected and the female pilot contacts
are connected to the operating coil
terminals of the switching device. For
safety reasons, the pilots are last to
connect and first to disconnect. This
insures that no disconnection under load
can take place. Mechanical interlocking
can be provided on request.

All materials are made of marine grade

aluminium and bronze. All sockets are
delivered with a cover. All connectors
are manufactured in accordance with
NFC 63300 rules.

Standards we refer to:

To ensure our high quality standard the complete product is made out of marine
grade aluminium and bronze. All sockets are delivered standard with a cover. All
power connectors are made in accordance with NFC 63300 rules.

Cavotec Power Connector confirm to the following standards, where applicable:

NFC 20 040, VDE 0110, NFC 63300
IEC 309-1, CEE 17, BS 4343
IEC 529, DIN 40050, NFC 20010

Standard inter-protection is IP 667 on all our connectors

Standard inter-protection is IP 557 on all our power units
The standard max temperature for Cavotec connectors up 1100V is 80°C.
The high temperature range for Cavotec connectors is available for max 400°C.
Our High Voltage Push & Pull connectors are tested according to VDE 0432 List 2.

Low Voltage Power Connectors < 1100V

LOW VOLTAGE

Cavotec Power Connectors for low

voltage applications are robustly
designed plugs and sockets for use in
harsh and difficult environments. They
are standard IP 66 protected and have a
standard maximum temperature of
80°C. On request the maximum
temperature range can be adjusted to
withstand a maximum of 400°C.

Our range of power connectors for low

voltage comes in various different sizes
and two different operation systems.
The first is the ‘Push & Pull’ system Electrical connectors are used for mobile generator sets for telecomunication networks, open

have to be disconnected manually or
automatically several times a day.
The second system consists of a
connector fitted with a screw ring.
This system is designed for applications
where the connectors have to be
disconnected by hand on a day-to-day
or weekly basis. The screw ring is a fast
thread with a large tolerance allowing
dirt or similar into the grooves without
failure in operation.

Thanks to their robustness and versatility The illustration shows a complete electrical panel including contactor, power switch and

for applications in mines, tunnelling,
marine applications, steel works,
railways, ports, bulk and container
terminals.

Electrical connectors are used on container spreaders and in container terminals as well as for
land connection of ships, ferries, icebrakers, military vessels and in many off-shore applications.
A normal application is the power supply to harbour cranes.

Power Units

LOW VOLTAGE

Complementary to plugs and sockets

Cavotec Connectors has a standard
range of power units made in 3mm hot-
dip galvanised steel plate designed for
the same harsh environment as the plugs
and sockets. The power units are built up
as a modular system consisting of
upper/lower modules and flanges in
order to comply with different needs of
available space and required functions.

Cavotec Connectors has designed stan-

dard outlet panels for 150A to 630A
with a voltage range of 380V to 1000V.
These are equipped with moulded-case
circuit breakers interlocked via the pilot
contacts in plug and socket.

On request Cavotec Connectors supply

custom made outlet panels based on
module power units.
Cavotec also provides power units in 2
mm AISI 316 stainless steel.

Medium voltage Power Connectors ≤ 25000V

MEDIUM VOLTAGE - INTRODUCTION

The Cavotec Group has been serving the

mining and tunnelling industries with
solutions for their power connector
requirements. Our electrical connectors
provide a flexible, convenient and reliable
means of extending cables from fixed or
mobile powers sources to mining, tun-
nelling and earthmoving equipment.
They are also often used for portable
junction boxes either in above- or under-
ground applications.
The concept of replaceable cables and
cable connectors on high voltage equip-
ment has been recognised as practical for An open pit mining application.
many years. Now, with increased emphasis
being placed on limiting the number and
frequency of temporary splices made in
trailing cables, the use of permissible con-
nectors and replaceable medium-voltage
cables is gaining increasing acceptance.
To meet this growing demand the Cavotec
Group offers a range of specially designed
“trailing cable connectors” to expedite
cable changes and minimize downtime.
Heavy-duty aluminium housings enclose
impact resistant insulators which support
pin-and-socket type contacts. The con-
tacts are attached to conductors by set A tunnelling application for power feed to

3 END-BELL SIZES Where larger, stiffer cables are involved,

Cavotec Connectors offers a choice of
longer, larger-entrance end-bells. Two
sizes are available that can accomodate
cable sizes through 4 1/4" O.D., with
clamps to fit cables 1 1/4" – 4 1/4" O.D.
Where end-bell extension is required for
phasing conductors or applying foot to
cable mounted plug, a flanged insert is
available.

TELEFON OR HARP EP INSULATORS Cavotec Connectors couplers offer a

choice of a semi-rigid EP (Ethylene
Propylene) molded insulator or a teflon
insulator introduced in 1994 which has
rapidly become the industry standard.

STAINLESS STEEL THREAD Galling or "lock-up" of aluminium-to-

aluminium threads which can occur after
surface films, dry lubricant or anodizing
wear off, is prevented by the original
Cavotec Connectors design feature. A
stainless steel insert in the locking nut
produces a connection which is non-cor-
rosive and less subject to dirt accumula-
tion, eliminating problems from alumi-
nium-to-aluminium contact.

“SPIN-ON” AXI-NUT Cavotec Connectors design enables

easier thread starting by floating the nut.
This allows the mating coupler to be par-
tially inserted with the threads aligned,
by sliding the nut, not the entire coupler.
Axi-nut is factory assembled to plug
body with self-lubrificated nylon ball
bearings, providing a rolling rather than
sliding contact which results in easier
operation.

Closure Types

MEDIUM VOLTAGE

8 Pitch - Fast coupling Cavotec Connectors supplies three

methods of mechanical connection for
high-voltage cable couplers. The oldest
method is the 8 pitch thread. This closure
incorporates axi-nut action and blunt-
start, relieved-thread design, all of which
contribute to easier operation and longer
life. The floating axi-nut allows the plug
to be inserted into the socket, the nut
more easily started, and secures the cou-
pler by compressing the o-ring seal. The
"blunt-start" and "relieved-thread" fea-
tures aid in preventing "first-thread rollo-
ver", common in couplers not supplied
with these features, which may result in
jamming of the nut.

4 Pitch - Faster coupling A second type of closure supplied incor-

porates a 4-pitch acme, double-start
thread, again with "blunt-start" and
"relieved-thread" features.
This design also includes the same
axi-nut action more rapid than other
brands.

No Thread - Fastest coupling The third and best type of closure utilizes
a pin-and-slot (bayonet type) design
which requires only a 90° movement of
the nut to lock, close and compress the
"O" ring seal. Detents prevent uninten-
tional opening due to vibration. This
design lends itself to easy conversion of
existing 8 or 4 pitch threaded couplers to
the no-thread concept. Such a conver-
sion requires a minimum of time (less
than an hour for a set of couplers) and is
economical in conversion cost. Operating
time (opening or closing) is measured in
seconds, rather than the 5 to 15 minutes
that may be required with other types of
closures.
