AMPACT Connectors

AMPACT In-Line Disconnect

The AMPACT in-line disconnect connector combines the reliability of S&C Electric Ltd. blade components and a double-string of K-Line Insulators Ltd. polymeric insulators with the AMPACT deadend yoke assembly. The result is an In-Line Disconnect that can be installed without the need for tensioning equipment. The proven performance of AMPACT deadend technology has been utilized in the design of the AMPACT in-line disconnect connector. The Deadend Yokes are swaged crimped to (2) two polymeric insulators. The copper blade assembly is connected to the AMPACT deadend yoke assembly between and below the double string of insulators. This provides adequate space for cutting the conductor after installation of the AMPACT deadend taps. Standard AMPACT tap application procedures are used to make both electrical and mechanical connections simultaneously. The AMPACT in-line disconnect connector can be installed on standard stranded all aluminum conductors (AAC) or aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) in conductor sizes from 1/0 to 795. Approvals RUS Listed ANSI: C119.4, C37.32, C37.34 IEEE: C37.30 CSA: C83.71 The integral pulling eye on the body of the AMPACT deadend yoke assembly is provided to the attachment of line tensioning devices if removal of the AMPACT in-line disconnect connector is required. The tensile rating of the pulling eye is 6,000 lbs., while the AMPACT deadend yoke assembly is rated at 10,000 lbs. tensile. Electrical ratings are provided in the performance characteristic tables. The unique AMPACT in-line disconnect design allows for positioning of cutters between the double insulator assembly. Cut the conductor in the span between the AMPACT deadend yoke assemblies and bend the conductor ends back . Installation with standard AMPACT tooling Quick, easy manual or Hot-Stick application Both mechanical and electrical connection made simultaneously with the AMPACT tap No line tensioning devices required for installation Double string of K-Line Insulators Ltd. polymeric insulators S&C Electric Ltd. disconnect blade assembly suspended below the insulators simplifying the cutting of conductor Performance Characteristics Voltage: 15 KV (110 KV BIL), 29 KV (150 KV BIL), 35 KV (200 KV BIL) Current: 900 AMPS Frequency: 60 Hz Momentary Current: 40,000 amps Short Time Current: 25,000 amps, 3 sec.
