600 A 35 kV class PUSH-OP
deadbreak connector

General

Eaton offers a complete threadless deadbreak,
clampstick operable connection system with
its Cooper Power™ series 600 A, 35 kV
class PUSH-OP
terminating underground cables to transformers,
switches, switchgear, and other apparatus. It
is fully shielded, sub mers ible, and meets the
re quirements of IEEE Std 386™-2006 standard –
Separable Insulated Connec tor Systems.
The design employs a unique, 600 A rated, plated
copper probe and mating PUSH-OP bushing
utilizing a plated copper finger contact system.
The PUSH-OP connector's stainless steel latching,
linkage mechanism provides le ver age for easy
dis con nec tion of the terminator and easy handling
of heavy cable. The result is a one-person,
clampstick operable con nec tion system that is
unequalled in ease of operation and time re quired
to perform sectionalizing operations.
A coppertop compression con nec tor is provided
for terminating the conductor.

The 200 A three-phase rated loadbreak interface
provides a means for obtaining a live test, visible
ground and visible break using a clampstick. It also
provides a convenient location for Eaton's Cooper
Power series M.O.V.E. arrester or grounding
elbow. The grounding elbow may be continuously
connected to the PUSH-OP connector while
moving it to and from an apparatus bushing.
Eaton offers an optional capacitive test point similar
to test points on 200 A elbow connectors. This allows
use of Eaton's Cooper Power series test point faulted
circuit indicators.
The PUSH-OP connector also has a non-bolted
connection that eliminates threading and its
associated prob lems.
PUSH-OP connectors are de signed for use on solid
dielectric cable (XLPE or EPR) with extruded semi-
conducting shields and con cen tric neutral, with or
without jacket. Installation on jacketed concentric
neutral cable may require additional sealing
material. Cold shrinkable adapters are available for
tape shield, linear corrugated and drain wire cable
adaption for use with deadbreak connectors.

Installation

The T-body housing with stainless steel shroud is
assembled onto prepared cable with a threaded
coppertop spade lug compression connector. The
loadbreak reducing tap plug is threaded into the
con nec tor and onto a probe using an alignment
tool, installation torque tool, and T-wrench.
The assembled housing is then connected to
a de-energized 600 A PUSH-OP type bushing
interface and bracket using a clampstick without
any threading operation. (See Table 5 for
information on tools.) Refer to Service Information

Connector Installation Instructions for details.
