Deadbreak Junctions

Deadbreak Junctions

600/900 Amp 15/28 -35 kV Class

The Raychem 600A/900A deadbreak junction is available in both 15/28 kV and 35 kV Class
versions. Deadbreak junctions are used with 600/900A elbows and accessories for connecting,
establishing loops, tapping, and facilitating apparatus change out. They are commonly used in padmounted
apparatus, sectionalizing cabinets, and underground vaults, where there is a critical useof space, flexibility, and operability.

The junction provides two, three, or four deadbreak interfaces bused together and encapsulated
in a molded, peroxide-cured EPDM insulated rubber body, with an EPDM peroxide-cured semiconductive
outer shield. Optional stationary or adjustable mounting brackets are available, assembled with the junctions

themselves. 900A ratings are achieved by ordering the copper version, but require copper cable and other copper constructed components A fully shielded, submersible connection is offered, with conformance to IEEE Standard 386. These deadbreak junctions are therefore interchangeable with other manufacturers’ products that also comply with this standard.

• Available in 2, 3, 4 point configurations
• Deadfront, 15/28 kV or 35 kV, 600 or 900A Ratings
• EPDM molded rubber construction
• Optional corrosion resistant stainless steel (adjustable or stationary) mounting brackets for direct
  wall mounting
• Maintenance free, fully shielded, submersible
• Applications include padmount, indoor/outdoor vault, subsurface
• Conforms to ANSI/IEEE Standard 386
• Heavy duty U-straps provide secure mounting for junctions
