EPOX® Multiple Point Junctions

G&W multiple point junctions provide an extremely compact, versatile solution for loop, tap, grounding, testing or sectionalizing applications through 35kV, 600A.  Padmount, vault and subsurface installations are available.


Features:

Application Versatility – G&W EPOX junctions accommodate up to 6 point configurations with any combination of 200A or 600A interfaces for either loadbreak or deadbreak elbows. The junctions can eliminate or minimize the requirement for stacking 200A taps on 600A elbows and provide an ideal solution for confined space installations. The flexible design permits integrating interface points for grounding or testing the circuit without moving cables. Junction points can also be used for arrester locations.

Rugged construction using EPOX technology – G&W multiple point junctions utilize time-proven EPOX technology to assure a void-free, extremely durable system imperious to environmental contamination. The rugged epoxy interfaces minimize the breaking force required for removing separable connectors compared to rubber-to-rubber junctions. The epoxy system is UL listed and provides excellent mechanical and electrical properties, excellent fracture toughness, and outstanding thermal endurance. A permanently bonded, external semi-conducting coating provides a fully shielded, deadfront system. Copper buswork provides maximum conductivity.

Mounting Flexibility – An optional stainless steel mounting bracket with tilt feature helps facilitate the most ideal mounting configuration where cable training is a concern. Parking stands are available and can be rotated to match a vertical or horizontal configuration. A retaining plate with “U” straps is available for padmount enclosure installations.

Tested Reliability – G&W junctions are designed and tested to applicable sections of IEEE 386 standard. Production tests include X-ray, corona and AC withstand.

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.
