1 AGE 9 CONNECTORS FROM THE GRVES ADA T ER Z O N E When the cable doesn t fit, you need a solution fast What can you do when dealing with new or relocated equipment, spec changes, and/or mismatched parts and cables? In the Greaves Adapter Zone you ll find numerous types of adapters, splices, reducers and lugs in many sizes to help you meet a wide variety of applications and challenges such as: Terminate When you need to terminate a cable into a lug where it does not fit, or is not of the appropriate material or stranding. Terminate a copper Class cable into a mechanical lug, but the cable is oversized and too large to fit Terminate an aluminum cable into a copper/bronze lug Terminate a copper flex/do cable into a mechanical lug Terminate a copper cable into a lug which needs a larger wire Splice/reduce When you need to splice/reduce cables that are different from each other. Splice a copper wire to a smaller copper wire If one or both wires are aluminum Splice aluminum to a smaller copper wire Transition from copper flex/do to copper Class /THHN cable Transition from aluminum wire to a copper flex cable Multiple cables When you need to fit multiple cables into closely-spaced wire-ports on a circuit breaker. With copper cable, adapters often will allow spacing close enough Use adapters with offset pins to allow the wires to be more closely spaced, so they will fit into the wire-ports. Splice smaller jumpers onto the runs and locate the splices#dzd #iurp#wkh#oxj## so the smaller jumpers can be bunched together to fit into the wire-ports. imited space in switchgear cabinet In compact switchgear cabinets, often there is not enough space for a bend radius in Class cable, so flex/do is used for the tighter bend capability. Then, an adapter is needed to terminate the flex/do into the lug. Numerous Greaves connectors can help you: Adapter Series T-FX, T-R,, T, TA, TO Splice Series CRK, CRA, ACK, AC-R, S, AS, U Greaves can also design and fabricate solutions for special situations.

3 AGE 8 Shoo-in FEX-CAE CONNECTORS REFERENCE INFORMATION SIZING GUIDE High-strand flexible cables are often utilized in environments that involve motion or vibration. Applications include locomotive, mining, marine, welding machinery, wind power turbines, temporary power generators, and transformers. High-strand flexible cables are available in a variety of classes and styles, such as welding cable, rope cable, diesel-locomotive cable (DO) and others. Each style has a different nominal cable/conductor diameter which can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, from lot to lot, and even within a manufacturing lot. This chart can assist in selection of connectors for use on highstrand, flexible cables. ocate your cable across the top, move down to your cable size, and move to the lefthand column for your FX GUIDE. Then for a lug or splice series, use your FX GUIDE to select your specific lug or splice. An alternative is to select your FX GUIDE according to the conductor O.D. information on the chart; when measuring your cable diameter, include only the bundle of conductors (not the jacket). This will help select an FX lug or spice with appropriate barrel size and flare. For example, 55 DO cable (5/4 stranding) indicates an FX GUIDE of 55FX ; for a long-barrel -hole NEMA lug, select Cat. No. 55NFX. SIZING GUIDE for FX UGS for DO and FEX CAE CAE DIMENSIONS REFERENCE INFORMATION CASS I-MODIFIED REFERENCE FX (DIESE-OCOMOTIVE CAE) CASS H CASS M CASS CAT. NO. AROX STRANDS COND.
