Description
Bare copper crossover fitting (red)
Copper crossover fitting with mechanical tightening for tape and/or round conductors (round up to 70 mm2 – flats 30 mm wide).
This crossover fitting is made of copper without surface treatment (red copper or bare copper). In addition, it is supplied with stainless steel tightening screws. Finally, the dimensions of the fitting are 18x50x50 mm and it weighs 0.150 kg.
This product complies with EN 62561-1, IEC 62305 and NFC 17-102:2011, as well as equivalent standards in other countries.
Thus, a crossover connection is used in the installations of earthing and lightning protection systems (lightning rod). In fact, aerial connections are made between lightning current conductors. Its main role is to:
– Connect Drivers:
The crossover connector is used to connect grounding conductors, whether flat or round, to ensure reliable electrical continuity.
– Improve Security:
By guaranteeing a good connection between the different components of the earthing system, it contributes to better dissipation of electric currents, particularly in the event of lightning.
– Corrosion:
Bare copper has good conductivity and corrosion resistance. But it will be all the more effective if it is treated with surface tin plating in order to slow down corrosion, which is essential for the durability of exterior or underground installations.
