MVC 8KV
A hazardous industry by its very nature, mine sites must rely
heavily on electrical equipment. The safe and reliable transfer of
electricity throughout a site is a significant concern.
Amphenol Industrial Global Operations (AIGO) offers many
products and solutions for the mining market. The MVC 8KV
incorporates patented RADSOK® contact technology for higher
amperage (25% greater than a standard contact), lower T-rise,
less resistance and reduced mating forces. When looking for the
best interconnect for the job, AIGO’s MVC 8KV cable coupler
with “Rapid-Couple
®
” technology will not leave you guessing.
The MVC 8KV coupler has been remarkably designed with a
wide range of features and benefits that makes this the coupler
of choice for the mining industry and other markets. Our Rapid-
Couple
®
interlock method makes for quick and easy mating and
unmating. This provides for positive mating and secure fitting
covers that repel water and soil while keeping the contacts
uncontaminated. Engineered to Amphenol’s high standards for
ruggedness and reliability there is no field condition in the world
that can impede the MVC.
Features:
• Up to 500 Amps
• Cast aluminum housing standard, other materials available
• Contact Termination: Solderless (Screw Termination)
• All parts are replaceable and can be serviced easily in the
field, equaling less downtime for repairs
• Rapid-Couple
®
mating technology
• Incorporates patented RADSOK® contact technology leading
to 25% more current in the same size contact, while reducing
mating forces
• Combined strain relief and cable seal eliminating the need for
hose clamps while providing waterproof protection
• Elongated ground plane which provides protection from
phase to phase faults and flashovers
• Fully shielded phase conductors
• Coupler mating is a one person operation without the need
for expensive tools or closing mechanisms

The Amphenol MVC 8KV coupler has a standard contact arrangement containing three insulated phase contacts, two ground contacts,
and one isolated ground check (pilot contact). Please consult the factory for other contact configurations.
