IEC612380r other national ot international Standards which ensure equal or higher quality shall be applicable ‘The edges of the connector barrels shall be rounded to assist stress relief when the connectors are used with covered (partially insulated) conductors. Alll connectors shall be supplied pre-filled with high quality oxide inhibiting compound and shall be protectively capped to prevent spillage or spoilage of this compound. All connectors shall be clearly and permanently marked with the correct conductor size range and category. ‘The clamps shall be made of corrosion-resistant alloy with a minimum tensile strength 400 MPa. The resistance of all clamps shall not be more than 50% of the resistance of the conductor itself over the same length as the clamp. a) The connectors shall: (i) Have serrated conductor groves, (ii) Interlocking fingers, (iii) Be recessed to prevent bolt head turning during tightening, (iv) Have a one, two, or three bolt pattern to suit conductor size and current rating, (¥) Have bolts of sufficient length to allow installation without disassembling the connector, (vi) Have conductor entries of a generous radius to prevent damage to strands, and (vii) Be pre-filled with joint compound, ‘The Bidder shall submit type test certificates with the bid to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of this specification. b) Types Prepared by Abebaw Belay Sign | Checked by} Elias Azene| ( z( Rev.No. | Date i May 7, 2023 Page | No.4Company Name: Document NO.
