Insulation Piercing Connector with Terminal Block
Typical Installation
Considerations
NOTE: This installation method is recommended
for run conductors larger than 3/0 (Panduit IPC
connectors are compatible with class K sensor
lead wiring and cover 14 to 3/0 AWG run
conductors.)
Sicame has part # TTD0810XF
(image below) that
covers 3/0 to 750MCM and accepts one 14AWG
tap. A terminal block is needed to convert to the
sensor lead stranding from class K to a stranding
compatible with the Sicame connectors (This
Sicame SKU is not compatible with class K wiring
of the VeriSafe). Also, you will need six Sicame
connectors to install an AVT (Each Sicame
connector only accommodates one 14 AWG tap)
• If the AVT sensor leads are not compatible with
insulation piercing, insulation displacement, or “hot
tap” style connectors, use of a terminal block
provides a means of converting the AVT sensor
leads to a wire type that is compatible with these
connectors.
• Select proper extension wire that is compatible with
the specific insulation piercing connector for the
sensor lead extension.
• Ensure that the insulation piercing connector will
not compromise the integrity of the conductor.
• AVT sensor leads must have ferrules applied at all
termination points
SCCR Impact
No impact
Limitations
• The total length of the sensor leads plus the sensor
lead extensions must be less than 10ft from the
isolation module to the connection point on the
power conductor (to comply with NEC tap rule)
• Must use separate connector for each sensor lead
