Special Features
Power Cable Joints utilize permanently crimped connectors. PCJ housings are fully insulated, shielded and sealed for direct-burial, vault, submersible and other severe 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

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of conductors are compatible with PCJ joints?

PCJ power cable joints can be used with both copper and aluminum conductors, accommodating a wide range of sizes up to 1250 kcmil.

How are transition joints catalog numbers constructed?

When constructing a catalog number for a transition joint, list the larger connector first and the smaller connector second.

Can copper connectors be used with aluminum conductors?

No, copper compression connectors are suitable for copper-to-copper connections only and must NOT be used on aluminum conductors.

What voltage classes are available for PCJ joints?

Elastimold PCJ power cable joints are available in 15 kV, 25 kV, and 35 kV classes.

What is the maximum pull force the interlock can withstand?

The pin-and-socket interlock of the PCJ power cable joints is designed to withstand a pull force up to 500 lb.

Do PCJ joints require taping during installation?

No, the cable entrance engages the insulation shielding of the cable, eliminating the need for taping.

What is the purpose of the grounding eye on PCJ joints?

The grounding eye provides a convenient point to connect a ground wire to the molded conductive shield, placing the shield at ground potential.

What is the short-time current rating of PCJ joints?

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

What is the continuous current rating of PCJ joints?

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

What environments are suitable for PCJ joint installation?

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