your Green Power WIND POWER SOLUTIONS only Greener
WIND POWER SOLUTIONS Thomas & Betts is committed to being your partner in power delivery by leading the industry in innovative wind power solutions and service. Our brands continue to evolve to meet the changing needs of our customers. We listen intently to the expressed needs of the wind power industry and craft solutions to those specific requirements with new product designs and developments.
WIND POWER SOLUTIONS Cable Accessories Elastimold is recognized as the leading producer of premolded cable accessory components worldwide and we are committed to providing the industry s most innovative solutions. We offer the broadest selection of 35kV components for managing the higher power loads generated by wind turbines, up to 900 amps. Our 600 Series deadbreak products are designed to accommodate large conductors and feature bolted connections and deadfront, modular construction for maximum reliability, performance and versatility. The modular system offers maximum flexibility in system design and unique advantages in cable training, cable orientation and space requirements, making it ideal for base of tower or padmount installations. Standard interfaces allow you to combine elbows, junctions and vault stretchers with our compact switchgear into custom solutions that address the specific needs of your wind power project.
allows for greater installation flexibility, Small footprint inside or outside the tower 22 The 35kV - 600 amp Molded Vacuum Interrupter (MVI) combines vacuum interrupters, programmable electronic self powered controls and high dielectric strength EPDM rubber insulation, to provide compact, light-weight submersible over-current protection. Units include molded-in elbow connection interfaces, trip free mechanism, and are available in single phase and three phase models. 33 Units include a current sensing and electronic control. The control is field programmable with a wide range of Time-Current Characteristic (TCC) curves and trip settings. The TCC curves provide predictable tripping for ease of coordination with up-stream and/or down-stream protective devices.
WIND POWER SOLUTIONS Secondary Spades and Terminal Lugs Thomas & Betts has now expanded the Elastimold line to include secondary URD products. With this complete package of medium and low voltage products and our line of Blackburn compression connectors, we will be most capable to fulfill your requirements, whether they are quality, reliability, flexibility or value driven. Surge Arresters Thomas & Betts Elastimold Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) Surge Arresters are fully shielded, fully submersible and are equipped with IEEE 386 interfaces for convenient energized connection with other 200 Amp loadbreak or deadbreak components up to 35kV. Arresters are available in three styles: Elbow (ESA), Parking Stand (PSA) and Bushing (BSA). The PSA and BSA arresters permit direct connection, eliminating the need for additional accessories. Fault Indicators Test Point Mounted Fault Indicators provide a clear, visual means for locating faulted cables and equipment on underground distribution systems. Indicators are self-powered and consist of a solid state current sensor connected to a faulted circuit display. Designs, incorporating advanced circuit logic, monitor system protection operation and prevent indicator tripping unless an overcurrent condition is followed by a loss of system voltage. Trip and reset operations are automatic and the same indicator may be used for 5KV thru 35KV applications.
Electric distribution systems demand high performance in the form of improved reliability, improved power quality, reduced operational and maintenance costs, and flexibility of operation. These can all be accomplished when you build with the brands of Thomas & Betts.
