1.5 Insulation Piercing Connectors (IPC) is used for making Tee/Tap-off/Service connectors to an ABC
Line. Insulation Piercing Connectors are designed to make a connection between the uncut main
conductor and a branch cable conductor without having to strip either cable to expose the conductor.
Instead, the tightening action of the IPC will first pierce the Insulation, and then make good electrical
contact between the main end and branch conductor while simultaneously insulating and sealing the
connection.

Requirement Main Cable Size range Branch Cable Size

range
Insulation Piercing Connectors for 70&50 sq mm (AB 16-95 sq mm (AB

materials and not by grease gel or paste alone. Grease can be applied to protect the contact blade alone
and shall not be visible of the outer surface of the connector. Connector should not be dipped in
grease.
1.6.8. Each IPBC should be provided with a cap to seal the cut end of the insulated Branch cable. It should
be of a design that once the connector id fitted, it shall not be possible to remove the cap without
dismantling the connector.
