2. Structural and Safety Features

• With a fully insulated, fully sealed, and touch-accessible structure, the outer layer has high insulation strength, allowing direct contact with the outer casing during operation without the risk of electric shock, thus ensuring the safety of maintenance personnel.
• The dual-channel integrated design is compatible with standard American/European 15kV equipment bushing interfaces, allowing simultaneous connection of two cable accessories to achieve line branching. It features a compact structure, convenient installation, and requires no additional adapters.
• The design prevents mis-insertion and incorrect connection. The interface size is standardized and can only be matched with accessories of the corresponding specifications, preventing the mixing of accessories of different specifications. It has a built-in positioning and locking structure to prevent loosening and falling off after installation.
• The grounding lead uses a yellow-green dual-color dedicated grounding wire, which is firmly connected and can be directly connected to the grounding grid, ensuring reliable grounding and effectively improving system safety.

3. Environmental and Weather Resistance

• It has excellent weather resistance and can adapt to a wide temperature range of -40℃ to +90℃. The elasticity and insulation properties of the rubber do not decrease under high and low temperatures, and there is no risk of cracking or embrittlement. It is suitable for various outdoor and indoor scenarios.
• Moisture-proof, waterproof, stain-proof, and salt spray-proof, with an IP67 protection rating, it can operate stably for a long time in harsh environments such as underground, humid, and dusty conditions, and is not afraid of rain or condensation corrosion.
• It is resistant to aging, ultraviolet rays, and ozone corrosion, with a service life of over 30 years. It requires no maintenance and reduces subsequent operation and maintenance costs.

4. Mechanical and Adaptation Characteristics

• It has high mechanical strength, is impact and vibration resistant, and can withstand mechanical stress during transportation, installation and operation without deformation or damage risk. Its seismic resistance level reaches level 8.
• It is compatible with 15kV 200A standard equipment bushing interfaces, and its two output terminals are interchangeable with elbow-type cable joints, surge arresters, and grounding devices of the same specifications, making it highly versatile.
• The interface is standardized and conforms to IEEE 386 and relevant domestic standards. It can be adapted to the equipment bushings of mainstream 15kV ring main units, box-type substations, and cable branch boxes to realize the line branching requirements of “one inlet and two outlets”.
