Overview

The ABB Installation Products 69TCJS44247P5MANNB is a 69 kV transmission cable joint engineered for medium-voltage power distribution systems. This Shieldbreak housing type 4, size 4 joint is designed to accommodate conductor diameters from 1.378 to 1.425 inches (35.00–36.19 mm), ensuring compatibility with standard transmission cables in 69 kV to 72.5 kV class systems. The housing features a copper tape shield (Type Shield A) for electromagnetic interference mitigation and grounding continuity, with no metallic screen continuity kit or armor kit required, simplifying installation and reducing material costs. The heatsink has an outside diameter of 2.750 inches (69.85 mm) with an M1.468-inch bore, providing thermal management for high-current joints. The outer jacket restoration kit includes a standard heat-shrink package for environmental protection. This joint is optimized for transmission cable systems where shield continuity must be broken for testing or maintenance without compromising system integrity. The absence of required connectors reduces installation time and material costs. Factory-molded and 100% factory-tested, this joint ensures maximum reliability and insulation integrity not achievable with field-fabricated systems. It is suitable for substations, switchgear, and industrial power distribution where 69 kV-rated cable joints are standard. The Shieldbreak design allows installation as either a shield break or non-shield break, offering flexibility for maintenance and testing scenarios. No penciling of cable insulation is required, and installation does not require costly machinery or specialized training. A low-cost assembly tool is available for on-site use, and the extended shelf life enables instant availability of spares. Key specifications include a nominal system voltage of 69 kV, maximum system voltage of 72.5 kV, and a housing size of 4 with a conductor diameter range of 1.378–1.425 inches.
