INSTALLATION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
The CHARDON 36 kV 630A IEC front / coupling (rear) T-body
connectors are used to terminate polymeric cable to equipment,
such as transformers, switchgear, motors etc. equipped with
bushings meeting type C interface per CENELEC EN 50180 and
50181. They are fully screened and fully submersible when mated
with the proper bushing or plug and they meet the requirements
of CENELEC HD 629.1 S2.

end of cable adapter, preparing the surface for
application of tape.

STEP 7

Wrap 2 layers a distance of 60mm of the semi-

conductive tape for a distance of “A” +90mm
from the end of cable, copper conductive shield
and semi-conductive shield as shown in Fig. 3.
Wrap 2 layers of sealing mastic tape “A” +95mm
STEP 5 from the end of cable (wide 105mm). Wrap 2
layers of PVC tape on the sealing mastic tapes.
(See Fig. 6)
STEP 8

Polish and thoroughly clean the cable insulation,

using sand paper and paper towel.
Wrap two turns of PVC tape to serve as a
marker at a position of 20 mm from end of the
insulation screen (a distance of “A”+20 mm from
the end of the cable, See Fig. 4).
STEP 6

Remove the PVC tape and clean conductor from

the end of the conductor.

STEP 9 STEP 11

Clean the outer surface of the cable adapter and

the interior of the cable entrance of the front T-
body with a lint-free cloth. Apply a thin layer of
lubricant to both surfaces. Push the front T-body
over the cable adapter as far as it will go.

STEP 13 Step 2. Install the rod and stud assembly by

hand in the front T-body. Make sure the
stud in the equipment bushing passes
through the hole in spade of the
connector.

 Step 3. Tighten the rod and stud assembly to
approximately 50-55 Nm, using a 22
mm open end wrench. (See Fig. 13)
(Slotted outwards)

Step 4. Repeat Step 1 to Step 8, prepare cable

and install bolted companion coupling
(rear) T-body connector. (See Fig. 14)

Step 1. Before install coupling (rear) T-body,

complete step 1 to step 11 of front T-body
instructions. If front T-body was installed
completely, remove insulating plug, nut and
washer. Step 5. Clean the interface of companion front
T-body connector and coupling (rear) T-
body connector with an ISO wipe. Wait
for the cleaning solvent to evaporate.
Apply a thin layer of lubricant to both
interfaces. Slide the bolted companion
coupling (rear) T-body connector over
the rod and stud assembly and into the
front T-body connector.

Step 6. Put the hex nut onto the rod and stud
assembly and tighten to 50-55 Nm using
a 24 mm socket and a torque wrench.

Step 7. Clean the insulating plug and the

companion coupling (rear) T-body
interfaces with an ISO wipe. Wait for the
cleaning solvent to evaporate. Apply a
thin layer of lubricant to both surfaces.

Step 8. Insert the insulating plug into the back of

the companion coupling (rear) T-body
and engage the threads of the threaded
stud.

Tighten the insulating plug to 35-40 Nm, using a 19 mm socket and a torque wrench.

Step 9. Clean the interior surface of the rubber cap. Place it over the insulating plug and push it until
it snaps into place.
