Establish loops, taps, splices and facilitate apparatus changeouts with 200 A and 600 A, 15 and 25 kV class multi-point variable junctions

Eaton’s Cooper Power series junction bars are designed for vault or apparatus applications and can be used for looping, tapping and sectionalizing. They are fully shielded, submersible, and are designed and manufactured in accordance with IEEE Std 386-2016 standard. These junctions provide 2 to 6, 15 or 25 kV mixed inline 200 A loadbreak, 600 A deadbreak or 600 A loadbreak Cleer interfaces bussed together and encapsulated in a precision-molded, peroxide-cured EPDM insulated rubber body. Junction bars come standard with a stainless steel mounting bracket.

Designed for superior switching performance

Eaton's Cooper Power series POSI-BREAK loadbreak elbow connectors use stress-relieving features around current exchange and improved dielectrics from increased strike distance for superior switching performance and reliability.

35 kV large interface elbow bushing system

Eaton's Cooper Power series 35 kV 200 A large interface elbow bushing system is a reliable, field proven design. This system has over 25 years of field experience while being used on large 35 kV distribution systems. Features of the large interface system include increased strike distance to provide greater reliability and overall performance, reliable loadbreak switching and fault closure capability. A full line of large interface accessory products is available.
