smart limiter

Tyco Electronics introduces a quick and easy

way to protect secondary network cables – the

Smart Limiter cable protector. To many utilities,

a network system is the most attractive option

for customers seeking steadfast reliability.

The Smart Limiter cable protector will assist

companies in restoring their network system to

its most reliable state and when limiters operate,

they will be easily identified and replaced.

• Increases reliability by protecting cable

insulation from damage due to fault current

• Quick visual identification of blown limiters

reduces the time needed to find faulted limiters

• Fast installation in compact spaces through

the use of the ShearBolt connector. No special

tools are required for installation, only 11/16"

socket for installation and 1/2" for removal.

Connection is repeatable to the same standard

with every installation. No changing of die or

using crimping tools that require calibration.

• Easily repeatable installation regardless of

installer experience

• Sealing and mechanical protection are built in,

eliminating the need for additional components

• The limiter will only blow on secondary faults

and effortlessly coordinate with network

protector fuses.

• Minimal exposure to energized parts. Only the

conductor being inserted into the limiter needs

to be exposed making it very safe

• Fuse blowing activity is entirely contained in a

ballistic enclosure

• 100% submersible

• Gel-port cable entries will quench any arc when

“live” connections are made; making picking up

load safer

• Hinged bolt caps allow entry to enable voltage

measurements as required as these caps

are re-enterable

• Available, 100% submersible copper buses

(crab joints) make installing limiters in one

compact place convenient and trouble-free.

Available in 3W, 5W and 7W configurations

• Modular design allows circuits to be added or

subtracted without cutting cables

• No parts to move, slide or park when installing

or removing the limiter

• Tyco Electronics Smart Limiter cable protectors

have tested fault duty of 25kA per limiter

• Designed specifically for 208Y/120V systems
