600 A 35 kV class PUSH-OP®deadbreak connectorGeneralEaton offers a complete threadless deadbreak,clampstick operable connection system withits Cooper Power™ series 600 A, 35 kVclass PUSH-OP® deadbreak connector forterminating underground cables to transformers,switches, switchgear, and other apparatus. Itis fully shielded, submersible, and meets there quirements of IEEE Std 386™-2006 standard –Separable Insulated Connector Systems.The design employs a unique, 600 A rated, platedcopper probe and mating PUSH-OP bushingutilizing a plated copper finger contact system.The PUSH-OP connector's stainless steel latching,linkage mechanism provides leverage for easydis con nec tion of the terminator and easy handlingof heavy cable. The result is a one-person,clampstick operable con nec tion system that isunequalled in ease of operation and time requiredto perform sectionalizing operations.A coppertop compression connec tor is providedfor terminating the conductor.The 200 A three-phase rated loadbreak interfaceprovides a means for obtaining a live test, visibleground and visible break using a clampstick. It alsoprovides a convenient location for Eaton's CooperPower series M.O.V.E. arrester or groundingelbow. The grounding elbow may be continuouslyconnected to the PUSH-OP connector whilemoving it to and from an apparatus bushing.Eaton offers an optional capacitive test point similarto test points on 200 A elbow connectors. This allowsuse of Eaton's Cooper Power series test point faultedcircuit indicators.The PUSH-OP connector also has a non-boltedconnection that eliminates threading and itsassociated prob lems.PUSH-OP connectors are designed for use on soliddielectric cable (XLPE or EPR) with extruded semi-conducting shields and concentric neutral, with orwithout jacket. Installation on jacketed concentricneutral cable may require additional sealingmaterial. Cold shrinkable adapters are available fortape shield, linear corrugated and drain wire cableadaption for use with deadbreak connectors.InstallationThe T-body housing with stainless steel shroud isassembled onto prepared cable with a threadedcoppertop spade lug compression connector. Theloadbreak reducing tap plug is threaded into thecon nec tor and onto a probe using an alignmenttool, installation torque tool, and T-wrench.The assembled housing is then connected toa de-energized 600 A PUSH-OP type bushinginterface and bracket using a clampstick withoutany threading operation.
