In power distribution and transmission systems, maintaining safe and reliable insulation levels in cable entry boxes and terminations is paramount. The COMPAQ Elbow Terminal Protector (CRTP 1224) offers an advanced insulating solution designed specifically for environments where phase-to-phase clearance is minimal, posing a high risk of air flashover due to insufficient insulation.
Key Features and Benefits of the COMPAQ Elbow Terminal Protector (CRTP)
- Robust Insulation & Flashover Protection
Provides a reliable barrier against phase-to-phase flashover risks in tight-clearance cable entry boxes, ensuring system longevity and safety.
- Superior Material Composition
Made from specially formulated EPDM or silicone rubber, offering exceptional UV resistance, tracking resistance, and mechanical strength—even in harsh environments.
- High Dielectric Strength
Rated at 15 kV/mm, it ensures excellent electrical insulation, even under high-voltage conditions.
- Quick & Easy Installation
One-piece moulded design allows fast, hassle-free installation—saving time and complexity for contractors.
- Reusable & Cost-Effective
Durable and long-lasting design that can be safely reinstalled during maintenance or upgrades, lowering lifecycle costs.
- Prevents Animal-Related Incidents
Acts as a protective barrier against animals (e.g., reptiles, birds) that can cause shorts or damage when contacting live components.
- High Operating Temperature Tolerance
Rated for continuous use at 90 °C and emergency overload at 130 °C (up to 4 hours), ensuring performance under thermal stress.
Applications of the COMPAQ Elbow Terminal Protector
- Improves insulation in air-insulated boxes and panels, preventing flashover in live parts.
- Ideal for transformer bushings (46 mm–56 mm diameter), enhancing insulation reliability.
- Designed for Ring Main Units (RMUs) with C-type bushings—effective where phase-to-phase clearance is just 95 mm and phase-to-ground is 60 mm.
- Perfectly suited for MS boxes and RMU chambers to maintain electrical integrity amid environmental challenges.
