EPOX® Cable Transition Modules

G&W’s EPOX cable transition modules provide an efficient

method of connecting extruded dielectric cable using separable

connectors to oil or gas filled paper insulated lead cable (PILC)

for systems rated through 35kV.  Various models permit either

deadend or feedthrough of the PILC cable.  Modules can

accommodate both 200A or 600A bushing interfaces which

conform to ANSI/IEEE 386 standards.

Features:

Application Flexibility – Modules are rated for submersible vault or direct buried applications.  A positive oil stop prevents migration of oil or gas from the PILC to extruded cable.  Mounting brackets and complete splice kits are available.

Rugged construction using EPOX technology – G&W's EPOX quality process uses time-proven epoxy resin to assure a void-free, extremely durable system impervious to environmental contamination.  The epoxy system is UL listed and provides excellent mechanical and electrical properties, excellent fracture toughness, and outstanding thermal endurance.

For 15/25kV modules, the system ground shield is accomplished through the stress cone on the PILC cable to the permanently bonded, external semi-conducting coating of the module housing providing a fully shielded system.

For 35kV modules, an internal copper band around each interface point is carried through the module housing to the external semi-conducting coating providing a fully shielded system.

Tested Reliability – G&W transition modules are designed and tested to applicable sections of IEEE 386, IEEE 592 and ANSI C119.4 standards.  Production tests include X-ray, corona, withstand and pressure tests.

Customizing Capability – G&W specializes in custom solutions to meet the ever changing needs of it’s customers. Contact your G&W representative with specific application requirements.

Cable Specifications

PILC cable: Oil or low pressure gas filled, paper insulated from

#2 AWG - 1000 kcmil.  High pressure oil cable available for 35kV

only.

Extruded dielectric cable: Accommodates maximum size as

allowed by elbow connector manufacturer.

Ordering Information

Specify the module number, conductor size of the PILC

cable and any options required.  Solder lugs will be drilled for

specific cable or can be supplied with a 1/4" pilot hole.

Options

1)  Type "K" kit including module, copper wiping sleeve,

solder lugs for each phase, mounting bracket and

hardware.

2)  Type "JX" kit.  Same as "K" kit except a bronze wiping

flange replaces the copper wiping sleeve.

3)  Mounting bracket.

4)  PILC tape splice kits.

5)  Novoid A dielectric compound.

6)  Single phase models available through 35kV.

7)  Optional end caps to insulate PILC interface for future

expansion or emergency jumper cable installation.

8)  Diverged bushings model at 35kV.
