Key Features
  • Joins sector-shaped aluminium cable to circular copper cable
  • Friction-welded construction provides a strong, electrically sound connection
  • Helps prevent electrolysis at the aluminium-to-copper transition
  • Fully annealed joint for improved ductility and mechanical performance
  • Designed for use with approved V-shaped nest dies and high-force indentor tooling
  • Suitable for three-core power cable jointing and distribution applications
Professional Installation Requirements
  • Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician or suitably qualified cable jointer using the manufacturer's specified V-shaped nest die and a 13-tonne or larger indentor tool. Installation should comply with AS/NZS 3000 and the manufacturer's instructions.
Applications
  • Electrical power distribution cable jointing
  • Joining three-core sector aluminium cable to copper cable
  • Commercial and industrial mains cable installations
  • Utility, infrastructure and submain cable networks
  • Aluminium-to-copper transition connections in switchboard and distribution systems
Standards & Compliance
  • AS/NZS 4325.1:1995 – Compression and mechanical connectors for power cables with copper or aluminium conductors, Part 1: Test methods and requirements
  • AS/NZS 3000:2018 – Wiring Rules, for applicable electrical installation requirements
Environmental Benefits
  • Aluminium and copper components are recyclable at end of service life
  • Friction-welded construction supports a long service life and can reduce replacement waste
  • Low-resistance conductive materials can help minimise connection losses in electrical systems
  • Bi-metal construction reduces electrolysis risk and supports reliable mixed-metal cable installations
