GENERAL INFORMATION

Hubbell 21.1/36.6 kV underground elbow connectors provide utilities with products having high reliability and low maintenance expense.

These connectors provide:

  • 10,000 ampere fault-closing capability
  • Standard elbow and bushing loadbreak principle
  • Molded shields
  • Peroxide-cured EPDM compounds
  • Full compliance with IEEE Standard 386
    - 35kV Large Interface - Figure 8
  • Purple cuffs for quick 35kV identification

The Hubbell separable elbow connector is designed for use with single-conductor, concentric neutral power cable having extruded insulation shielding. With shield adapter products, the Hubbell elbow can be used with cables having a metallic tape shield, wire shield, or lead sheath with tape or extruded insulation shielding.

All insulating and conducting rubber components are made of a special formulation of an EPDM elastomer using a peroxide curing process. The material and curing process provide’s superior elastomer stress relaxation characteristics under high ambient temperatures and contributes to reliable, long-time operation in either above-ground or subsurface installations.

Elbow connector/integral bushing combinations are suitable for energized loadmake/loadbreak operations by a qualified lineman using an 8’ shotgun-type hot stick.

All elbow/integral bushing combinations are designed for use with subsurface (submersible to 10 feet of water) or padmounted installations.

Where To Use

Hubbell 35 kV loadbreak elbows are designed for operation on and connection to 35 kV class, 150 kV BIL systems where the voltage ratings listed on this page are not exceeded.
