The Fused Loadbreak
Elbow Connector
Cooper Power Systems now combines
its Industry Leading Current-Limiting Fuse
and Molded Rubber Loadbreak Elbow
technology into one Fused Loadbreak
Elbow switching device. No longer is there
a need to purchase switchgear or replace
sectionalizing equipment in order to provide
full-range current-limiting protection to
underground distribution systems.
Full-Range CurrentLimiting Protection
Cooper Power systems continues to provide
customers with innovative designs. We have the
experience to meet the demand for solutions to
installation problems while offering cost saving
benefits for your distribution systems.
The Fused Loadbreak Elbow Connector, available
in 15 kV, 25 kV, and 28 kV voltage classes, is the
right solution that provides a convenient, compact,
and cost effective means to adding fuse protection
to underground distribution systems, for connecting
underground cables to transformers, switching
cabinets and junctions equipped with 200 A, 15
kV, 25 kV, and 28 kV Class loadbreak bushings,
manufactured to IEEE Std 386™ standard. It
combines a fully-shielded and insulated plug-in
termination with full-range current-limiting fuse
protection.
Our design incorporates solid internal connections
preventing the elbow and cable housings from
separating and the potential of partial discharge
related issues. It is 25% lighter and 25% smaller in
diameter than the competitor’s design which means
it’s easier to operate with a hotstick and reduces
congestion in underground installations.
