G&W multiple point
junctions provide an extremely compact, versatile
solution for loop, tap, grounding, testing or sectionalizing
applications through 35Kv requiring multiple connection
points for 200A or 600A elbows. Padmount, vault and
subsurface installations are available.

FEATURES |
 |
Application Versatility
- G&W EPOX junctions accommodate up to 6 point configurations
with any combination of 200A or 600A interfaces for
either loadbreak or deadbreak elbows. Ratings are available
through 35kV, up to 900A continuous. The junctions can
eliminate or minimize the requirement for stacking 200A
taps on 600A elbows and provide an ideal solution for
confined space installations. The flexible design permits
integrating interface points for grounding or testing
the circuit without moving cables. Junction points can
also be used for arrester locations. Rugged
construction using EPOX technology
- G&W’s EPOX quality process uses time-proven
CIBAGEIGY 229 epoxy resin to assure a void-free, extremely
durable system impervious to environmental contamination.
The rugged epoxy interfaces minimize the breaking
force required for removing separable connectors compared
to rubber-to-rubber junctions. The epoxy system is
UL listed and provides excellent mechanical and electrical
properties, excellent fracture toughness, and outstanding
thermal endurance. A permanently bonded, external
semi-conducting coating provides a fully shielded,
deadfront system. Copper buswork provides maximum
conductivity.
Mounting Flexibility
– An optional stainless steel mounting bracket with
tilt feature helps facilitate the most ideal mounting
configuration where cable training is a concern. Parking
stands are available and can be rotated to match a
vertical or horizontal configuration. A retaining
plate with “U” straps is available for padmount enclosure
installations.
Tested Reliability
– G&W junctions are designed and tested to applicable
sections of IEEE 386, IEEE 592 and ANSI C119.4 standards.
Production tests include X-ray, corona and AC withstand.
Customizing Capability
– G&W specializes in custom solutions to meet
the ever changing needs of it’s customers. Contact
your G&W representative with specific application
requirements.
