In medium voltage power networks, the reliability of a system is defined not only by the quality of its components, but by how accurately they are installed in real operating conditions. At COMPAQ International, we believe that engineering excellence must extend beyond manufacturing right up to on-site execution. 

Our technical team recently conducted an on-site installation of 24kV Screened Separable Connectors (T-Type), working directly at the switchgear interface to ensure precise assembly, electrical integrity, and full compliance with global utility standards. 

Engineering Expertise at the Installation Level

Screened separable connectors are critical interface components in modern MV networks, particularly for GIS, RMU, and compact switchgear applications. Their performance depends heavily on:

  • Correct cable preparation
  • Accurate stress control interface
  • Proper torque and connector alignment
  • Effective earthing and screening continuity

COMPAQ’s on-site technical specialists bring hands-on experience from thousands of installations across utilities, EPC projects, renewables, metro rail, and industrial substations. Each installation is executed strictly in line with approved installation procedures, manufacturer guidelines and relevant IEC standards. 

Why On-Site Technical Support Matters

Medium voltage separable connectors operate under demanding electrical and environmental conditions. Even a minor deviation during installation can impact long-term performance.

Our on-site involvement ensures:

  • Correct interface fitment with bushings and switchgear
  • Controlled stress distribution for long-term insulation reliability
  • Touch-proof and screened safety compliance
  • Zero compromise on installation accuracy

By being present at the point of installation, COMPAQ ensures that the product performs exactly as designed not just in the lab, but in real-world service. 

Designed for Global Utility Compliance

COMPAQ’s 24kV Screened Separable Connectors are engineered and installed to meet the expectations of utilities, transmission operators and infrastructure owners worldwide.

Key design and installation considerations include:

  • Fully screened, touch-proof construction
  • Reliable electrical interface with MV bushings
  • Compatibility with standard IEC interfaces
  • Installation suitability for indoor and enclosed MV systems

Our on-site technical supervision further validates compliance with utility specifications, project drawings, and safety protocols.
