Overview

ABB Installation Products 69TCJS1QA38PNNNNN is a 69 kV transmission cable joint designed for high-voltage cable systems requiring a shieldbreak housing. This joint features a Q-size housing with a 1.750-inch bore diameter at the jacket/insulation transition, optimized for cables with conductor diameters ranging from 0.9336 to 1.011 inches (23.77–25.68 mm). The joint eliminates the need for an external connector (Connector Code 38P), simplifying installation and reducing component count. The shieldbreak housing design ensures proper electrical stress control at the transition point, maintaining system integrity in transmission applications. The heatsink bore measures 1.500 inches in diameter, accommodating standard heat dissipation requirements for 69 kV class joints. This joint is part of ABB’s 69TCJS1 series, built for reliable performance in transmission cable systems where metallic screen continuity and armor kits are not required. Commonly deployed in utility substations, power transmission lines, and industrial high-voltage networks, this joint supports aluminum conductors without additional connectors, streamlining field assembly. Its design aligns with UNSPSC 39121452 for cable accessories, ensuring compatibility with standard transmission infrastructure. The product is manufactured by ABB, a leader in electrical and automation technologies, and is engineered to meet the mechanical and electrical demands of 69 kV class cable joints.
