REFRESH YOURSELF

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER - REFRESHER TRAINING Keeping up with the latest product developments and installation techniques is an ongoing process. With this in mind, refresher training for products that are already in use is fundamental to maintain quality workmanship.

At TransNet we offer product refresher training and support for a wide range of the products we supply. We have technical support both locally and internationally from our suppliers that enables us to keep your team up to date with all the latest developments around these products and the best practices associated with them.

If there is a TransNet product you’d like refresher training on we no doubt have a programme already available to suit. We

can come to you or your team can come to us (alert levels pending).

One of the most comprehensive product training offerings we have is the Raychem CIC programme for installing LV and MV cable accessories. This programme is more than just training, it is a complete system to manage and control installation of cable accessories on your network. Run by TE Connectivity, it offers certification protocols that can be used by asset owners, contractors and the individuals themselves LLER D INSTA CERTIFIECable Accessories to ensure that m Rayche the work done is recorded and endorsed. There are also added benefits relating to product warranties, and installation information like location, date, and installer for asset depreciation recording at asset owner level. The CIC programme is widely used in New Zealand. If you’d like to know more about how it could benefit your business contact your local rep or our customer care team.

IPC TECHNOLOGY

insulation piercing technology IPCs use a number of small contact points at a high pressure to ensure an exceptionally good electrical connection. Over the years, IPC technology has been developed and tested to ensure it can accommodate heat cycling, climatic ageing, electrical resistance, water resistance and dielectric resistance, with a range of added safety features.

PRODUCT FEATURES • Connectors accept both Al and Cu cable (unless specified) • Shear head bolts ensure correct connection pressure everytime • Range taking capabilities reduce the inventory requirements

Shear head Bolt Bolt head for removal Fully Insulated Connector Housing Tinned Piercing Contacts Rubber Seals Around Contacts End Cap

Ph 0800 442 182 +64 9 274 3340

• By not stripping the cable, contact teeth can make contact with cable before oxidisation takes place • Completely seals around contact points for watertight connection • All connectors come with contact grease SAFETY FEATURES • Safe to install on live circuits (when manufacturers guidelines are adhered to) • Tightening bolt separate to piercing contacts remains permanently deenergised • Cable doesn’t need to be stripped, protecting workers from exposed live cables • Fully insulated housing for worker safety

Designed and tested to the highest standards for reliable operation even in the harshest environments • Installation from –20°C up to +50°C • Operation experience with temperatures ranging from –60°C up to +60°C • No limitation of mechanical loads for main & branch conductors • Shear head forces are adapted to the required contact forces for each application (main, service, lightning) • Voltage withstand to 6kV in a 30cm waterbath • No change in contact resistance and temperature after overloads and load cycling • Voltage withstand to 6kV after heavy weathering exposure (UV-light, humidity and temperature cycling) • Corrosion resistance of metal parts proven in salt fog chamber and wet SO2 gas chamber

BEFORE INSTALLATION Connector easily positioned over cables, no loose parts can fall to ground. The correct position of the branch conductor can be felt inside the end cap.

DURING INSTALLATION Contact blades pierce the insulation and reliably contact the conductors.

The tightening screw is insulated from the contact blades thus providing maximum safety for the installer even during live line installations.

AFTER SHEAR HEAD BREAKING The shear head ensures that conductors are not damaged by too strong forces. The long neck prevents the head from hasty shearing off by naturally applied cantilever loads on the tightening tool. The seals firmly conform to the insulation to prevent any moisture ingress.

BREATHE SAFER

Sparky™

Intrinsically safe L2 Mask 8.5cal/cm² Arc flash resistant Features • Arc Flash resistant facing (8.5cal/cm² Cat 2 rated) • Suitable for HV lines or similar hazard service • Easy breathing + compliant protection • Exclusive HELIX™ filter • Unique high performance natural fibre filter technology provides class leading low resistance filtration • Metal free mask • Developed in conjunction with NZ lines companies • Scientifically designed and manufactured in New Zealand using natural wool fibre filter technology, as chosen by NASA

What is HELIX™ Filter Technology HELIX™ Filter Technology is a breakthrough development in sustainable air filtration. It harnesses the unique properties of natural fibre to provide high performing filters with a very low breathing resistance. The natural fibres are inherently resistant to bacterial growth and microbes on their surface, as well as imparting an increased flame resistance to the material.
