Capnut Terminations

Capnut terminations are field assembled units which offer complete system flexibility and over 60 years of field proven reliability. Interchangeable aerial lugs, hoodnut connector assemblies, porcelains, bodies and cable entrance fittings enable these terminations to accept any construction of extruded dielectric, paper insulated or armored cable on distribution systems up to 46kV. Various styles of single and three conductor units are available. Capnut terminations are designed and tested in accordance with IEEE-48, 1975 standards for Class 1 terminations.

Application
Capnut terminations are generally used where insulated cables are connected to generators, switchgear, transformers, overhead lines or sectionalizing equipment. Single conductor units are available in ratings of 15, 25, 34.5 and 46kV and will accept conductors within the range of 1/0 to 2000 kcmil. Three conductor units are rated 15, 25 and 34.5kV for conductor sizes through 1000 kcmil. All units are available for either bracket of flange mounting.

Cable Types:
Extruded dielectric, concentric neutral, jacketed or unjacketed.
Extruded dielectric, shielded, jacketed including Unishield, wire and tape shielded
Extruded dielectric, shielded, lead jacketed.
Paper or varnished cambric, lead jacketed.

Features:

Maximum external insulation — High grade, wet process porcelain provides excellent mechanical strength and electrical characteristics. Porcelains are designed with thick wall construction and maintain safe creepage and strike distances. Various styles of petticoated or corrugated type porcelains are available for either indoor, outdoor, inverted or equipment mounted applications.

Reliable stress control — Stress relief cone kits consisting of insulating tapes and shielding braid are available depending upon cable construction. Various compounds or oils are available as an internal insulating medium for the terminators depending upon the application.

Versatility — Interchangeable aerial lugs, hoodnut connector assemblies, porcelains, bodies and cable entrance fittings provide maximum system flexibility. Terminations are available for any size and type of paper insulated, extruded dielectric and armored cable rated up to 46kV.

Spreader Heads
Various styles of spreader heads are available for use with single conductor terminations when a greater phase-to-phase aerial spacing is required for 3/C cable applications.
