Secure Termination of Large-Section Copper Power Cables
Terminating 400 mm² copper conductors requires components and installation methods suited to substantial cable sizes. The Partex COL400-14 provides a tubular barrel for crimping onto the conductor and a flat ring palm for fastening to an M14 connection point. This arrangement is useful in heavy-duty electrical distribution systems where large power cables must be connected securely to equipment terminals or busbars.
The terminal's straight configuration is suitable where the cable can approach the connection point in line with the fixing palm. Its copper body provides the conductive path between the crimped conductor and the bolted connection. Because large-section power cables can be relatively difficult to route, installers should allow sufficient space for the cable's specified minimum bending radius and ensure the finished termination is not subjected to excessive mechanical strain.
Correct installation is essential for reliable operation. The conductor should be prepared without damaging its strands, fully inserted into the terminal barrel and crimped using tooling and dies approved for the relevant terminal and conductor combination. The M14 fixing should be tightened according to the connected equipment manufacturer's instructions. Appropriate insulation, clearances, cable support and protection should be provided for the installation. The permissible operating current depends on the complete cable and connection assembly rather than the terminal size alone.
Typical Applications
- Heavy-duty industrial power distribution systems.
- Low-voltage switchgear and distribution assemblies where compatible.
- Large electrical distribution boards and cabinets.
- Busbar connections with M14 fixing points.
- Industrial electrical equipment and machinery.
- High-capacity copper power cable termination.
- Electrical panel manufacturing and OEM equipment assembly.
- Industrial electrical maintenance and refurbishment.
- Power distribution installations using 400 mm² copper conductors.
- Bolted cable connections to compatible M14 equipment terminals.
