600V Cable Protectors
Cable Protectors
Mersen CP Cable Protectors are special purpose limiters which are crimped or bolted
to cables or terminals to clear and isolate faults quickly, increasing the reliability
of service entrance and distribution runs. CP Cable Protectors have a 200,000A
interrupting rating, yet will carry low cable overloads which are handled by standard
protective devices. Cable protectors are rated in terms of cable size and material
(Al or Cu). Heavier duty CPH cable protectors are available on special order. Heat
shrinkable (HS) tubing can be specified for field installation. TI blown fuse trigger
indicators may be available upon request. Refer to the application information section
for more information.
Features/Benefits:
•
Fiberglass bodies for dimensional
stability in harsh environments
•
Catalog number stamped
into terminal for permanent
identification
•
Crimp terminals for aluminum
cable include oxide inhibitor
•
Molded rubber boots or heat
shrinkable tubing available for
insulation and protection
•
Current limiting device
•
