New from the makers of  PowerLok® substation bus connectors, comes a remarkable method for electrical cable connection.

Presenting  CableLok™ .

 CableLok's state of the art design combines radial swage technology and the experience of over a half a century in the connector business. The  CableLok™ system can swage a variety of configurations to a wide range of cable sizes with a minimum amount of  installation tooling required.


CableLok™
Advantages

  • Single Radial Swage - the uniform radial swage allows complete contact with the cable and the inside diameter of the barrel (360° compression).
  • T6 Hardened Pad - eliminates retightening of bolts.
  • Minimizes metal relaxation - the connector material is swaged beyond the elastic limit so metal relaxation is reduced.
  • Offset Tangs - allows both sides of the tang to be used equally as a connection surface.
  • Easy installation - installs in adverse weather with a single swage.
  • Tin Plated - for use on aluminium or copper cable.

It is a revolutionary way to look at joining your substation bus bar. And yet the technology comes with decades of proven use in other demanding environments like aerospace and military shipbuilding. The PowerLok® substation bus connection system offers the reliable, permanent performance of a weld at a fraction of the installation time using the Deutsch 360° radial swaging technique. That means the PowerLok® system goes on cold, without welding, using specially designed compression connectors and handheld tooling.

PowerLok® leaves no room for doubt in its performance under the most undesirable conditions. This unique system allows fast, reliable installation throughout rain, snow, sleet and swirling winds. In short, any weather conditions which are not advisable or allowable using welded fittings. So now with PowerLok®, you can schedule your installations without having to concern yourself with the availability of a welder or having agreeable weather.

Extensive comparative testing has shown that the PowerLok® system outperforms welded counterparts in tensile, bending, vibration, Corona/RIV as well as Current Cycle tests and Fault Current testing. Each PowerLok® bus connection results in superior mechanical, thermal and electrical characteristics. Qualified to meet or exceed all the nationally recognized standards, including ANSI C119.4 and NEMA CC1, the PowerLok® system raises the quality standard of all substation bus connections. In fact, it renders many conventional methods obsolete.

Some customers are surprised to find out the few installation tools that are needed to start using PowerLok®. What's more, the product training required is so simple, it often takes less than half an hour. The tooling is compact and portable. The system is designed so that one person can complete the entire installation, from fit up to final swaging. The tools are hydraulically actuated using 10,000 psi pumps. Some pumps which you may already be currently using can be converted for use with our tools.
