General

The Eaton Cooper Power series Deadbreak Straight
Connector is a fully-shielded and insulated plug-in
termination for connecting underground cable to
transformers, switching cabinets and junctions equipped
with deadbreak bushings.
Wide cable ranges are sized to accept cables insulated at
either 175 mil or 220 mil within a given conductor size. The
wider cable ranges increase installation flexibility.
The Coppertop (bimetal) compression connector is a
standard item to transition from the cable to the bushing
contacts. An aluminum crimp barrel is inertia-welded to a
copper lug. The aluminum barrel makes the connector easy
to crimp and the copper lug ensures a reliable, tight, cool
operating connection with the bushing contacts.
CAuTION
The 200 A Deadbreak Straight Connector is designed to
be operated in accordance with normal safe operating
procedures . These instructions are not intended to
supersede or replace existing safety and operating
procedures . The straight connector should be installed
and serviced only by personnel familiar with good
safety practices and the handling of high-voltage
electrical equipment .

Installation

Cable stripping and scoring tools, available from various tool
