Phase 3 Powersafe Rotalock Connectors

Versions of the Phase 3 Powersafe connectors with the Rotalock option are now available from Connector-Tech ALS. The traditional method of uncoupling Powersafe connectors requires a separate unlocking key to push the spring loaded locking pin out of its recess, thereby allowing the connectors to be uncoupled. With the Rotalock versions, uncoupling is achieved by simply rotating a coupling ring. When rotated the coupling ring moves in a lateral plane to disengage the locking pin.

In this way no separate tools are required for uncoupling. The Rotalock can also be locked in the open position by turning two screws on the side of the ring; locking it in the open position. When this method is used a tool - such as a screwdriver - will be required to uncouple the connectors.

Phase 3 Powersafe Rotalock connectors are not available as an add-on. They must be ordered as a specific version of the connector which contains additional grooves that enable the Rotalock mechanism to function.

Phase 3 Powersafe 122 Breakout Lead and TX Splitter Unit

122 Breakout Lead
A simple and reliable option for sub-distribution, the 122 lead is named for its configuration: 1 cable, 2 split-out to 2 cable tails. The example pictured here shows an 800 Amp Line Drain Powersafe connector split into 2 X 500 Amp Line Source Powersafe connectors (Maximum total combined output is 800 Amps).

To provide strain relief and water ingress protection the cables (crimp terminated to the inlet connector) are sealed with adhesive-lined, heat shrink moulding. Customers can specify a custom length for the Breakout Lead should an application require a change to the standard length of 500mm.

In addition to the 122 Breakout Lead, Connector-Tech ALS also offers the TX Splitter Unit. The outer housing is machined from non-conductive material to provide an impact-resistant enclosure. Two configuration options are available using Powersafe connectors with a rating of up to 800 Amps: 1 x input, 2 x output; or 1 x input, 3 x output. With an IP67 rating when mated the TX Unit is suitable for outdoor use.

Phase 3 CABCON Cable Lug Joiners

This device provides a simple and cost-effective method for joining two cable ends fitted with standard crimp lugs. A bus bar is retained within a threaded section and the lugs are connected to this bar with two bolts. The housings and glands create a watertight seal once assembled.

The housings are manufactured from high-impact, high dielectric insulation material for user safety and long life and can be colour-coded for ease of identification. Cable CSA of up to 300mm2 can be fitted to the re-useable CABCON cable lug joiners. The latest version comes with two grommets.

Part Numbering System:
CAB001-XX* for 95mm² to 300mm²
*where XX = L1, L2, L3, N or GR
