DESCRIPTION
The Cooper Power Systems RTE®
Deadbreak Elbow connector is a
fully-shielded and insulated plug-in
termination for connecting underground
cable to transformers, switching
cabinets and junctions equipped with
deadbreak bushings. The elbow
connector and bushing comprise the
essential components of deadbreak
separable connections.
RTE deadbreak elbows are molded
using high quality peroxide-cured
EPDM insulation. Standard features
include a copperTop connector, tin
plated copper probe, stainless steel
reinforced pulling-eye, and a capacitive test point.
Cable ranges are sized to accept a
wider range of cable diameter for a
given size elbow. The wider cable
ranges increase installation flexibility.
The CopperTop compression
connector is a standard item to
transition from the cable to the probe.
An aluminum crimp barrel is inertiawelded to a copper lug. The aluminum
barrel makes the connector easy to
crimp and the copper lug ensures a
reliable, tight, cool operating connection with the deadbreak probe.
INSTALLATION
Cable stripping and scoring tools,
available from various tool manufacturers, are recommended for use
when installing deadbreak elbows.
After preparing the cable, the elbow
housing is pushed onto the cable.
The probe is threaded into the coppertop connector using the supplied
installation tool. A spring-loaded bail
is also included to assure a safe, reliable connection.

described below. Select the range from Table R that
best fits the diameter of the core insulation. Select the
code from Table C for the conductor size and type of
connector required.
Ordering Example: For 20 kV cable, 50 mm2
aluminum conductor, 21.0 mm core insulation diameter,
unplated, DIN connector, specify DE250-F-50
NOTE: Bimetallic connectors can be used with aluminum
or copper conductors.

Deadbreak Straight Connector
550-12
DESCRIPTION
The Cooper Power Systems RTE®
Deadbreak Straight Connector is a
fully-shielded and insulated plug-in
termination for connecting underground
cable to transformers, switching
cabinets and junctions equipped with
deadbreak bushings. The design of
the straight connector allows mounting to be vertical, horizontal, or any
angle in between.
RTE deadbreak straight connectors
are molded using high quality peroxide-cured EPDM insulation. Standard
features include a copperTop pin
connector, bail assembly and a built-in
capacitive test point.
Cable ranges are sized to accept a
wider range of cable diameter for a
given size elbow. The wider cable
ranges increase installation flexibility.
The CopperTop pin compression
connector is a standard item to
transition from the cable to the deadbreak bushing. An aluminum crimp
barrel is inertia-welded to a copper
probe. The aluminum barrel makes
the connector easy to crimp and the
copper probe ensures a reliable, tight,
cool operating connection with the
bushing.
INSTALLATION
Cable stripping and scoring tools,
available from various tool manufacturers, are recommended for use
when installing deadbreak connectors. After preparing the cable, the
compression connector is installed on
the conductor. The molded housing is
then pushed onto the cable.
