based on cable capacity. |
Unit
Electrical Engineering Ltd. manufactures a range of low
voltage portable power cable couplers rated up to 1100 Volts
AC and up to 320 Amperes. |
Safety
is very important when handling power cables and the couplers that
connect them. The coupler system is designed to conform to Canadian,
US and European standards. UEE couplers incorporate a pin arrangement
in which the ground connection makes first and breaks last and the
pilot connection makes last and breaks first. This ensures the power
supply is not energized until the phase contacts make and the body
of the coupler is connected to ground.
Production downtime, maintenance, and ware-housing costs were primary
concerns in the research and development of this product. UEE couplers
are designed to be assembled in the field using standard hand tools
and require minimal effort to connect and disconnect. Components
are individually replaceable, resulting in reduced inventory costs.

FEATURES & BENEFITS |
|
APPLICATION |
Rigid,
sand-casted aluminum housing makes the coupler light and
durable.
Individually
replaceable parts reduce the cost of complete coupler inventory.
O-rings,
combined with V-ring and Square-ring, give the coupler assembly
a submersible rating.
A
new generation of wire termination, a collet system (CollGrip)*,
ensures a simple and secure connection with low current
resistance and good heat transfer.
Arrangement
of phase connectors, ground connectors, and ground plate
ensures that should faults occur they are phase-to-ground,
not phase-to-phase; therefore reducing the possibility of
damaging high energy failures.
Entrance
fitting, consisting of a cable clamp and a seal arrangement,
provides a waterproof and secure cable grip.
Heavy
duty pilot pin and socket ensure positive low resistance
path for pilot signal.
Optional
second pilot or control pin allows for specific user application.
All
copper parts are silver-plated to increase conductivity
and prevent conductor oxidation.
The
design of the body assembly gives the coupler an explosion-proof
rating.
All
stainless steel hardware for long life and reliable assembly
and disassembly.

This
low voltage trailing cable coupler system is used in open-pit
and underground mines, micro-tunelling and tuneling, and other
heavy-duty industries. These couplers are used to connect
electrical distribution & control systems and equipment
rated up to 1,100 Volts.
