PRODUCT BRIEF
U-OP Connector System
Product Description:
Cooper Power Systems' U-OP™ is a 600 A, deadfront connector system,
designed for all 600 A URD applications. Employing the already proven
T-OP II™ deadbreak connector, U-OP allows the operator to easily create a
visible open and visible ground without moving the cable or connector. The
mechanical assist incorporated into the removable "U-component," provides
a visible open point quickly and safely, with minimal effort.
Features/Benefits:
Expedites safe cable isolation and grounding: Cables can be direct tested
for de-energization and then grounded immediately after verification. The
mechanical assist within the "U-component" further eliminates the hassle
of stuck rubber interfaces . . . add a 600 A grounded standoff bushing and
the apparatus can also be grounded – all in one single operation.
Provides verification of visible break and ground, external to the
apparatus: Once the grounding elbow is installed on the cable and the
"U-component" is removed, an inadvertent energized operation is virtually
impossible. No more relying on internal breakers or sight windows to
verify an open point.
Requires less effort to operate: The mechanical assist, along with the
lighter weight of the U-component makes for easier operation. This means
no moving of heavy, awkward cables and connectors on the end of a long
shotgun stick.
