7 PosiGrip A NE, IMPROVED PATENTED UG DESIGN No special tooling required for installation Unique body and screw design minimizes thermal expansion problems isted for use with concentric, compact and compressed conductors No adaptor or conversion kits required Tin-Plated Body New generation of U-486B isted CSA Certified 90 C Rated Connectors Page 7

8 Aluminum Dual Rated Mechanical Connectors A new generation in mechanical connector performance. Cool running over 500 heat cycles. Versatile, simple to use and low cost. Introduction CMC introduces PosiGrip aluminum dual-rated mechanical connectors. The PosiGrip line is designed to meet the rigorous requirements of 486B and CSA 1165A specifications covering connectors for use with aluminum and copper conductors. The PosiGrip line is fully listed by Underwriters aboratories, Inc. and Canadian Standards Association. In addition, these connectors are EU RoS compliant. ow Resistance Design ow initial contact resistance is the key to long life for any electrical connection and is the major element in meeting the demanding performance requirements of U 486B. Connector Manufacturing Company s engineers have incorporated special new design concepts into the PosiGrip line. Uniquely designed I-Beam bodies and conductor hole configuration along with specially designed and treated screws; minimize high resistance connector failures due to thermal expansion, creep, and insufficient clamping force. The superior gripping action of the I-Bean design allows the set screw to separate conductor strands and break down inner stand oxidation even on compressed and compact aluminum conductors. Therefore, superior performance and long connector life are assured regardless of the type of conductor being used. Versatility Each PosiGrip connector will accoodate a wide range of aluminum or copper conductor sizes of concentric, compressed or compact configurations. Only eleven connector sizes cover the range from #14 thru 1000 kcmil. In addition, they are U listed and CSA certified for use with conductors having thermal insulation ratings of 90 C or less. This means greater flexibility in the type of conductor being used, less inventory to carry and fewer call backs because the installer doesn t have the right part. Easy to install; all you need is a screwdriver or an allen wrench. Quality Assurance To identify U 486B connectors, U requires such connectors to be marked CU9A when listed for use with 90 C rated conductors. To be sure that the connector you buy meets all U requirements, CMC inspects each lot of PosiGrip connectors for integrity of physical dimensions, aluminum properties, set screw and conductor hole alignment, plating, along with screw and body thread class. Only connector lots meeting industry accepted quality levels are approved for shipment. PosiGrip ug 1. The unique ridges formed on the bottom of the contact surface are designed to provide positive contact points for an electrically secure joint of the lowest resistance for current flow. Just as a tripod provides tilt free contact on a smooth surface, this connector is designed to cause specific contact points where current can flow without hot spots created when two flat surfaces are joined together. 2. The screws used to clamp the conductor are designed to extend beyond the barrel sides of the connector to allow a better, more secure compression of the conductor. This design spreads conductor strands to help dis sipate heat. In addition, this causes the maximum conductor to spread slightly more than the wire way opening which when installed improves its pull out safety features and capabilities. 3. The design of the wire way opening allows the conductor to enter the lug at the lowest point possible near the tang of the lug to provide optimum transfer of current creating a straight line flow through the connec tor for the least possible path of electrical resistance. A positive wire stop is provided with a step in the connec tor tang. Page 8 PosiGrip

These connectors illustrate CMC s flexibility and ability to assist the customer in the design of connectors to meet whatever requirements they may have.

10 CMC Aluminum Connectors CMC is proud to supply the industry with a line of electrical connectors fabricated from the very best aluminum alloy, 6061-T6. This choice was predicated upon many design factors to achieve the best balance between strength and conductivity. Both factors are of extreme importance in connector design calculations. The aluminum extrusions have almost a two-to-one advantage in yield strength to that of a sand cast alloy 356 or die cast alloy AXS679, permitting an extra margin of safety while the conductivity is a most favorable 43% IACS. The set and socket screw mechanical connectors are designed to utilize the advantages of the T6 alloy temper for high yield strength while providing a connector of low stress. Screw pressure is designed to break through aluminum conductor oxide by cold flow process that ensures a low resistance connection. Sufficient pressure is maintained on the conductor to prevent the reforming of the aluminum oxide. The pressure, combined with the high conductivity factor, will result in a connector operating temperature below that of the conductor. e therefore, offer these advantages in connector design: 1. Compact design 2. igh strength aluminum 3. Relative light weight construction 4. Economic 5. Tested products in accordance with the Underwriters aboratories and the Canadian Standards Association requirements for listing. These factors together with our dedication for the highest quality standards available and an unsurpassed service level, provide our customers with maximum reliability. Page 10

46 Installation Instructions 1. Measure the length of the wire hole in the connector, with a measuring device. 2. Measure and mark the conductor cable approximately 1/4 longer than the connector. 3. Strip the insulation from the cable with an appropriate stripping tool; be careful not to damage the conductor wire while performing this operation. 4. If the wire cable (conductor) is corroded or blemished in any way, clean the exposed end of the cable with emery cloth or wire brush dependent upon the severity of the corrosion to remove oxides from the surface of the conductor. 5. Prior to installation of the conductor to the connector, apply a generous amount of oxide inhibitor to the bare portion of the conductor. 6. Rotate the conductor back and forth to evenly distribute the inhibitor. 7. Install the conductor into the connector leaving approximate 1/4 of exposed conductor visible. Be sure the installed conductor is equal in length of the wire hole. Snug with an Allen wrench. 8. Torque the set screw to the recoended value with a torque wrench. After a minute, retighten the screw again to the recoended torque value Page 46

48 Additional Torque Information For optimum efficiency, it is necessary that the correct bolt, nut, and washer combination be used with the correct combination of conductor materials. This table shows acceptable methods of joining different combination of bus bar. here different combinations of metals are being joined, a follow-up device such as a conical pressure washer is usually recoended if one, or both, bus materials are soft drawn aluminum. If both bars are hard drawn, large flat washers will suffice regardless of the bolt materials. Other considerations which should be taken into account when selecting hardware are corrosion and vibration. For example, if severe corrosion is anticipated, non-corrosive materials such as stainless steel or silicon bronze, should be selected in preference to galvanized steel. If vibration is anticipated, the use of locking washers should be considered.

Note: Contact sealant recoended between aluminum to aluminum and aluminum to copper connections unless other protective measures are taken. Bar Connections: The Tang of a compression or mechanical connector is a bus bar, which connects to another bus bar. If you remember the rule about wire brushing and using joint compound with bare (unplated) aluminum, you cannot go wrong. Plated parts should be cleaned with a solvent if they are dirty, but never abrade or otherwise disturb the plating! Figure shows a typical bar connection and the type of hardware used. Contact surface must be clean. Use a joint compound with bare aluminum. Conical pressure washer is usually recoended if one, or both, bus materials are soft drawn aluminum. Page 48
