Application
The Chardon T-Body connector is used to terminate polymeric cable to dead
front apparatus such as transformers, switchgear, and other equipment up to
36 kV. It can be used for indoor or outdoor applications. It can be used for all
polymeric cable types (XLPE, EPR, etc.) with copper or aluminum
conductors.
