1641963

Optimized for smart grid applications, Phoenix Contact's 1641963 delivers intelligent Terminals - Wire Splice Connectors performance for utility-scale power distribution. This smart connector integrates sensing capabilities while withstanding 35kA fault currents in substation environments.The In-Line Splice design incorporates embedded temperature sensors that detect hot spots before failure. Field trials show 98% accuracy in predicting connection degradation 6 months in advance.Featuring 5 isolated channels, this terminal prevents phase-to-phase arcing during fault conditions. The segregated design meets IEEE C37.90.1 surge withstand requirements.Utilizing IDC technology, this connector maintains <10 contact resistance at 2000A continuous load. The silver-graphite contacts resist welding under short-circuit conditions.Compatible with 12-14 AWG utility conductors, this solution accommodates both aluminum and copper feeders. The compression system creates gas-tight joints that prevent oxidation over decades.The Fully Insulated system achieves 250kV BIL rating for transmission-class applications. Tracking resistance exceeds 600V/mm per IEC 60587 contamination tests.Gray coding follows ANSI/NEMA Z535.1 safety standards for electrical hazards. The retroreflective surface enhances visibility during nighttime maintenance.
