Product Advantages
The 11KV Outside Electrical Junction Cabinet has belowing benefits:
1. Fully Insulated & Fully Sealed: All live parts inside the cable Junction Cabinet are strictly insulated (such as using silicone rubber) and have no exposed conductors, ensuring the safety of personnel.
2. Strong Environmental Adaptability: The shell structure of the cable branch box adopts a design that is resistant to dust, moisture, flooding, and corrosion, and can operate outdoors or even in flooded environments, truly achieving maintenance free operation.
3. Flexible & Compact Structure: The height of the cable branch box can be combined and can accommodate up to 8 incoming/outgoing lines. The cable branch box occupies a much smaller area than traditional distribution cabinets and blends beautifully with the urban environment.
4. Economical & Reliable: This cable branch box can reduce the investment in the main feeder cable and is easy to install. After cooperating with the fault indicator, the cable branch box can quickly locate the fault and improve the reliability of power supply.
5. Functionally Expandable: This cable branch box can be equipped with various electrical components such as lightning arresters, voltage indicators, transformers, RTUs/FTUs, and various sensors to support distribution automation and smart grid upgrades.
Classification of the 12kv cable branch boxes
12kV cable branch boxes are primarily classified by technical style and function:
1. American-Type Branch Box
Features: Horizontal multi-way busbar, single-side door opening, compact structure.
Connection Method: 600A screw-in bolted connection for main circuit; 200A plug-in connection for branch circuits (hot-swappable).
Advantages: Small width, flexible combination, branch connector can be used for load switching.
2. European-Type Branch Box
Features: Uses feed-through bushings as busbars, double-side door opening, clear cable arrangement.
Connection Method: Generally uses 630A bolt-fixed cable connectors.
Advantages: The cable routing is clear and does not require large spans of three core cables.
3. Switchgear-Type Branch Box (Ring Network Type)
Features: Built-in SF6 load break switch or circuit breaker, with breaking capacity.
Function: Allows circuit switching, enables ring network power supply, or isolates sections for maintenance.
Advantages: Combines some functions of a ring main unit at a lower cost; represents an upgrade path from traditional branch boxes towards smart grids.
Selection Note: Mainstream high-quality products use silicone rubber as the primary material for cable connectors, offering far superior insulation sealing and aging resistance compared to early heat-shrinkable or EPDM materials.
Selection Guidelines:
1. Environmental Factors: If the cable branch box needs to be installed in flood prone or low-lying areas, a fully sealed water ingress protection structure with IP67 or higher protection level (such as buried type) should be selected.
2. Maintenance Needs:For situations that require extreme compactness and no maintenance, we recommend using American plug-in cable branch boxes; However, for three core, large cross-section cables with high requirements for wiring clarity, we recommend using European style cable branch boxes.
3. Network Functionality: For ring network application scenarios that require fault isolation, switch equipment type distribution boxes must be selected.
