COMPONENT APPLICATION AND SELECTIONCatalog 2001 includes component group schematics, part numbers and standard ratings of ELASTIMOLD products for ap-plication on underground power distribution systems utilizing solid dielectric cable. Go directly to the product section in thetable of contents
or follow the decision path outlined below for component selection and application.
● Determine if the application involves Deadfront (shielded) or Livefront (unshielded) connections. Terminations are air insulated and classified asLivefront.
● Determine if the application requires Separable Connectors, FusedElbows, Cable Joints, Terminations or Surge Arresters.
● If Separable Connectors are involved, determine the required current class: 200 Amp or 600 Amp and above. This decision is based on the conductorsize, loading, and system short circuit currents. The selected connector mustbe compatible with the mating interface on any equipment.
● 200 Amp connectors are available in Loadbreak and Deadbreak styles.Determine which style is required. 600 Series Connectors are Deadbreakonly and Fused Elbows are Loadbreak only.
● Determine the part number related to the specific Voltage Class by utilizingthe schematic layouts and product tables.
● If the component mates with cable, determine the cable insulation diameter,conductor size, type of cable shield and if jacket sealing is required.

PCJ CABLE JOINTS
ELASTIMOLD
PCJ~Power Cable Joints utilize perma-nently crimped connectors. PCJ Housingsare fully insulated, shielded and sealed fordirect buried, vault, submersible and othersevere service applications. Units havebeen designed and tested per IEEEStandard 404 to assure system matchedperformance and ratings equal to the cableto which the splice will be installed.
PCJ Power Cable Joints are available in 2 styles:
Style 1 uses a single piece housing that issized to accommodate a specific range ofcable. Style 1 units are ideally suited forstraight splicing of the same or similarcable.
Style 2 designs incorporate a universalhousing with separate cable adapters toallow transition splices of different types and sizes of cable.

ELASTIMOLD Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) surge arresters are fully-shielded, fully-submersible and are equipped with IEEE 386 interfaces forconvenient energized connection with other 200 Amp loadbreak compo-nents. Units are compact, allowing installation in existing cabinetry. For application ease, arresters are available in 3 styles: Elbow (ESA), ParkingStand (PSA) and Bushing (BSA). The PSA and BSA arresters permit directconnection eliminating the need for additional accessories.
Elastimold arresters provide high voltage lightning and switching surge protection of transformers, cable, equipment and other components typi-cally located on underground power distribution systems. Proper place-ment, voltage selection and coordination with riser pole arresters minimizesdamaging surge voltages by improving protective margins.
Typical applications include installing an arrester at the end of a radial system or at both ends of an open point on a loop system. Additional arresters can be added at strategic locations upstream from the end pointfor optimum protection. Request Form 2068 (Surge Protection Options ForUnderground Distribution) and Form 2069 (Arrester Applications –Underground Electrical Systems) for additional application and margin ofprotection information.
ESA Elbow Arresters are also available with a 200 Amp Deadbreak inter-face for mating with other Deadbreak accessories.

How to specify Size-Sensitive Products
CATALOG 2001 Page 30 ID: 0198ELASTIMOLD
INSULATION DIAMETER SELECTION GUIDEElastimold Elbows, splices and terminations are designed for application on XLP,EPR and other solid dielectric insulated power cables. These components are con-structed of molded elastomer and rely on an interference fit with the cable insulationdiameter in order to maintain proper dielectric strength, creep path integrity and awater seal. Elastimold components are available in a wide range of sizes in order toaccommodate a variety of cable insulation diameters.Selection of size-sensitive components requires determining the cable insulation diameter. This can be done in several ways:A. Refer to the cable manufacturer’s spec sheet for dimensions.B. Measure the cable.C. If the cable conforms to AEIC standards with a 175, 220, 260 or 345 mil wall
thickness, use the table on page 34.After the cable insulation diameter has been determined:1. Locate the W table indicated in the part number selection chart.2. Complete the ordering information by selecting and inserting the symbol
(given in the W table) into the part number.

INSULATION DIAMETER
Ordering ExampleTo complete the information required to order a K655LR-W0X elbow for use on standard AEIC 500 kcmil stranded aluminum cable with .220 inch thick insulation wall.A. Determine that the insulation diameter
(from AEIC table on page 34) is 1.325 ±.030 inches.B. For this elbow, the part number selection chart on page 11 indicates
to use table W7 for elbow sizing and table X6 for connector sizing.C. From table W7 the symbol for W is L.D. From table X6 the symbol for X is 330.E. The completed part number therefore is K655LR-L0330.
