1. Moulded Plugs and Receptacles
Compliance with Standards
FAA:
In full compliance with FAAL-823 class A
specification, AC 150/5345 - 26B.
FIG. 1A
Use
The ADB factory-moulded plugs and receptacles achieve
waterproof connections in underground installations.
Description
1. Single-pole plugs and receptacles, 5kV, 25A.
For connection of the primary cable to the primary leads
of the isolating transformer.
Identical with those fitted to the isolating transformers
type RC 8126 and RCE (catalogue leaflet A.06.110).
Fig. 1: Single-pole moulded plug and receptacle
A. On unscreened cable
B. On screened cable
2. Two-pole plugs and receptacles, 600V, 20A.
For connection of the light to the secondary of the
isolating transformer.
Factory moulded on rubber-insulated, PCP sheathed
flexible cable. Standard sections: 2,5 and 4 sqmm or
AWG 14 to 10). AWG 12 or 4 sqmm is used either for
20 A or for reducing the losses in 6,6 A (e.g. long
distance between transformer and light).
Fig. 2: Two-pole plug and receptable.
3. Factory moulding on pre-cut cable lengths
The single- and two-pole plugs and receptacles can be
factory moulded on cable lengths accurately cut to
customer's order.
These pre-fabricated cable assemblies substantially
reduce installation time. Quality and reliability are
generally superior to that obtained with "in-field" joints.
This results from severe quality control on each
completed assembly before shipment. Factory moulding
is not possible on PE, XLPE and PVC insulated and/or
sheathed cables. In such cases, a CKE-52 resin type
connector is used.
Note: On request four-pole and six-pole plugs and receptacles are available,
details on application.

Use
On the spot making of watertight plug/receptacle joints.
Description
(see tables 2,3,4)
1. Single-pole connector kit (Fig. 3)
Specially designed for connection of single-core
unscreened series circuit cable to isolating transformers.
2. Connector kit type CKE-52 for screened cable (Fig. 4).
ADB has designed and patented a connection system for
screened (Shielded) single-core cables.
This system consists of a special single-pole connector kit.
The screen is connected to an earthing wire.
The connector is filled-up with resin.
The CKE-52 connector kit is designed to fulfill the requirements below:
- to ensure the electrical continuity of the screen
- to earth the screen
- to ensure the continuity of the primary series loop
- to mate with FAA L-823 type I, class A styles 2 and 9
connectors and make a watertight joint.
- to fulfill ICAO's Aerodrome Design Requirements
3. Two-pole connector kits (Fig. 5)
Specially designed for connection of 2-core secondary
cables to either the light or the isolating transformer.

FIG. 4
Construction
The body of the connector is made of elastomer.
The watertightness is ensured by:
a) the elasticity of the material exerting a pressure on the
outer sheath of the cable
b) the filling up with silicone dielectric grease (resin for the
CKE-52 only)
A range of connectors are available to cover all the standard
diameters (see selection tables 2 and 3).The connection of
the conductor is performed by cold crimping with a suitable
crimping tool (e.g. AMP or BURNDY).The pins and sockets
are available in various sizes covering the range of standard
conductor sections.

3. Watertight Couplings
Use
The mating surfaces between plugs and receptacles must
always be dry and clean. Care must be taken to ensure that
elements are completely mated and inserted untill all air has
escaped.
Single-pole plug/receptacle assemblies must always be taped.
In addition couplings and sleeves guarantee an absolute
cleanliness of the connectors and strengthen their
mechanical adherence.
Description
FIG. 6
(see selection table 5)
1. Screw coupling (Fig. 6)
Entirely non-metallic. Insensitive to soil corrosion.
The very simple assembly operation consists of sliding the
coupling over the connectors and subsequently
compressing both rubber rings by tightening the two nuts.
2. Heat shrinkable sleeve (Fig. 7)
Consists of a heat shrinkable thermoplastic sleeve.
An internal sealant coating increases watertightness.

5. On two-pole connector kits (Fig. 5 A.B.C.D.)
4. Single or Double Joint Boxes
Use
These boxes are specially designed to join screened or
unscreened cables.
The double joint box type AVP6-1 (Fig. 8) or Barnicol (Fig. 9)
is used for jointing of isolating transformers type RC 8126
(catalogue leaflet A.06.110) to screened series cable and to
ensure the electrical continuity of the screen.
In this case, a double joint box and a set of mating
conductors afford the facility of easy disconnection.
The double joint boxes are specially designed to fulfill the
requirements below:
- to splice the free end of the mating conductors with the
screened cable forming the primary series loop
- to ensure the electrical continuity of the screen
- to earth the screen.
The single joint box type PC2 (Fig. 10) is used as a joint for:
- runs exceeding commercially available lengths
- repair of damaged cable
- extensions to a series loop.
FIG. 8
FIG. 9
Description
The joint boxes are made of two synthetic resin shells.
After connection of the conductors and of the screens the
box is filled-up with resin.
After hardening of the resin, a reliable, permanent and
waterproof joint is formed.

All plugs and receptacles shall be in compliance
with FAA L-823 specification (AC 150/5345-26B).
This compliance is essential to ensure a perfect
fit with the connectors of the lights and isolating
transformers. The connectors shall preferably be
factory moulded on pre-cut series cable lenghts
for the portable and temporary installations or
when skilled technicians perfectly aware of the
high voltage connetions cannot be appointed to
perform the kit connections on site.
The connectors shall preferably be factory moulded on pre-cut secondary cable lenghts when
these lenghts can be accurately
determined in advance.
When connector kits are used, the cables are
supplied in commercial lenghts cut in situ at the
exact lenght and fitted with connector kits.
These kits shall only be assembled by skilled
technicians supervised by a specialist to ensure
their electrical, mechanical and watertighness properties reach the expected standards.
For connection accessories using resins, the self
life, storage and use temperatures shall not be
exceeded. Screened cables used in series circuits
shall be connected to the isolating transformers
by means of resin filled connector kits.
The screen shall be brought out trough an
insulated wire and earthed.
