ABOUT HEAVY DUTY
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
for stranded concentric copper conductors.
Heavy Duty connections were developed to be used on reclaimed cable. Heavy
Duty connections use a larger size connection cavity in the mold and a larger size weld
metal than the equivalent standard connections.
The larger size weld metal supplies extra BTU's (but not a higher temperature) to
melt the heavy oxide coating on the conductor and to overcome severe field
conditions.
Heavy Duty connections offer the following advantages:
• Eliminates cutting the run conductor on certain types of connections.
• Reduces cable cleaning requirements for old or reclaimed cable.
• Increases reliability under adverse field conditions.
NOTE: The increased size of weld metal raises costs compared to connections
shown in sections 1 through 10.
