Special Features
Power Cable Joints utilize permanently crimped connectors. PCJ housings are fully insulated, shielded and sealed for direct-burial, vault, submersible and other servere service applications. Units have been designed and tested per IEEE Standard 404 to ensure system matched performance and ratings equal to the cable to which the splice will be installed. Power Cable Joints are available in two styles. Style 1 uses a single-piece housing that is sized to accommodate a specific range of cable - ideally suited to straight splicing of the same or similar cable. Style 2 designs incorporate a universal housing with separate cable adapters to allow transition splices of different types and sizes of cable

How is a transition joint catalog number constructed?

When constructing a catalog number for a transition joint, the larger connector should be listed first, followed by the smaller connector.

Can copper connectors be used on aluminum conductors?

No, copper compression connectors are suitable for splicing copper conductors to copper conductors only and should NOT be used on aluminum conductors.

What type of connector is included for aluminum conductors?

Kits for aluminum conductors include an aluminum compression connector suitable for splicing aluminum-to-aluminum or aluminum-to-copper conductors.

What is the short-time current rating?

The short-time current rating of the PCJ power cable joints is equal to that of the cable rating, up to 35 kA.

What is the continuous current rating?

The continuous current rating of the PCJ power cable joints is equal to that of the cable rating.

What environments are suitable for installation?

PCJ power cable joints provide a permanent, fully shielded, fully submersible splice suitable for direct-burial, underground vault, and overhead applications.

What are the two styles of PCJ joints?

Style 1 is for straight splicing of two similar cables. Style 2 includes separate cable adapters for transition splicing between two different cable sizes.
