Introduction to Insulation Piercing Connector
1. Installation of piercing connector is very easy. You need not peel off the cable coat.
2. Moment nut ensures the constant pressure of piercing, which can keep good electric connection and make no damage to lead.
3. Its self-seam frame is wetproof, waterproof, and anti-corrosive, which can prolong the using life of insulated lead and connector.
4. Special connecting tablet is adopted in our insulation piercing connector, which is applicable to joint of Cu (Al) and Cu (Al) or Cu and Al.
5. The electric connecting resistance is so small that impulse current can be up to 15KA.
6. Special insulated case body can resist illumination and environmental aging. Its insulation strength can be up to 6KV.
7. Arc surface design enables it to be connected with the same (different) diameter. It has a wide connection scope (1.5-240mm2).

Performance Testing of Insulation Piercing Connector
1. Mechanical performance
the grip force of the wire clamp is 1/10 bigger than the break force of the lead. Our insulation piercing connector complies with GB23141997.
2. Temperature rise performance
under the condition of big current, the temperature rise of connector is less than that of connection lead.
3. Heat circle performance
200 times per second, 100A/mm2 big current overload, the change of connection resistance is less than 5%.
4. Wet proof insulation performance
if it is put under water for 30cm, input over 3.5kv voltage for 1 Min, it will not break out.
5. Resistance to corrosion performance
if it were in the circumstance of SO2 and salt fog, it can do three times of fourteen days circle testing.
6. Environmental aging performance
you can put it under the condition of ultraviolet, radiation, dry and moist, and expose it with change of temperature and heat impulse for six weeks.

Outstanding Features of Insulation Piercing Connector (IPC)
1. Our insulation piercing connector can be branch of cable without striping the insulated coat and the joint is completely insulated. It can be the branch of cable in any position of cable without cutting off the main cable.
2. Its installation is very easy, and the only tool it needs to install is sleeve spanner. It is also safe for you to install it on live line.
3. The joint can resist distortion, quake, fire, wet, electrochemical corrosion and aging. It can be used for 30 years without maintenance.
4. It needs small installation space, which can save the cost of bridge and land construction.
5. In structural application, it does not need terminal box, junction box and return wire of cable, thus saving cable cost.
6. The cost of cables and clamps is lower than other power supply system.
