TE Connectivity AMPACT In Line Disconnect

The AMPACT ILD combines the reliability of copper blade components and a
doublestring of polymeric insulators with the AMPACT deadend yoke assembly. The result is an in-line disconnect that can be installed without the need fortensioning devices.
The proven performance of AMPACT deadend technology has been utilized in the design of the AMPACT ILD. The deadend yokes are bolted to two (2)
polymeric insulators. The copper blade assembly is connected to the AMPACT deadend yoke assemblies between and below the double string of insulators. This provides adequate space for cutting the conductor after installation of the AMPACT deadend taps.
Standard AMPACT tap application procedures are used to make both electrical and mechanical connections simultaneously. The AMPACT ILD can be installed on standard stranded all aluminum conductors (AAC) or aluminum conductor steel reinforced (ACSR) in conductor sizes from 1/0 to 954. In addition to its original function, to help install the switch on the conductor, the uniquely designed eye keeper doubles as a mechanical clamp to increase the conductor pulling-out strength in excess of 7500 lbs without slipping or damage to conductor.
