The overhead connector<\/strong> <\/b>is an essential piece of equipment in the electrical distribution network. It is the essential element for the derivation of an electrical line forthe connection of a subscriber to the low voltage distribution network<\/span><\/span>. Originally developed to be installed on bare lines, this equipment has evolved to adapt to new insulated lines.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Overhead connector analysis<\/span><\/h3><\/h3><\/div>

The connector consists of two bodies<\/b> (upper and lower) made of glass fiber reinforced synthetic materials, separated by a jaw containing contact blades. These blades ensure the electrical connection between the core of the main conductor and that of the branch conductor.<\/p>\n

The screws<\/b> are made of zinc alloy or stainless steel.<\/p>\n

There are hexagonal heads<\/b> that break when tightened.<\/p>\n

There is also a flexible cap<\/b> that guarantees the watertightness on the connection side. The watertightness on the network part is preserved thanks to overmoulded elastomer.<\/p>\n

MICHAUD overhead connectors comply with NFC 33-020 (1998&2013)<\/b> et EN 50483-4<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
