Low Loss Boltless C-Wedge Connectors

Boltless low power loss C-Wedge Type Connectors used in Distribution and High Voltage Networks. AMPACT C-Wedge type Boltless Connectors used for same or different conductor combination or on solid rod equipment terminal connections. Consisting of 2 parts, C-Body and Wedge, it prevents degradation and achieves significantly lower resistance. Thermal cycling causes conductors to expand and contract, but the Connector C-Body spring effect maintains constant contact pressure. It is light in weight and easy to install with power-actuated tools.

  • Available for same/different conductor combinations
  • More contact surface and no oxidation at connection interface
  • Used in Distribution, Sub-stations and Transmission Systems
  • Elastic property of C-Member maintains constant force within the connection for life of the connector, while compensating for thermal expansion or creep
  • Simple, fool proof method for installation; no fatigue for operator for series of installations and ensures installation process with repeatability and reliability
  • Wedge locking prevents loosening of connections
  • Easy removal of connector without damaging conductors and re-usable
  • Type tested as per IS: 5561 and ANSI 119.4
  • Approved by several utilities like KPTCL, KSEB, HVPNL, APTRANSCO, GETCO, TANTRANSCO etc., up to 400kV; we are in the process of qualifying for 765kV application
