The cable waterproof connector is a type of connector that can be applied in environments with water, providing a safe and reliable connection. The most important aspect is that it can achieve a waterproof effect. So, what should be noted during the installation and use of the cable waterproof connector?
1. Based on the required model and specification of the cable connector, select the appropriate connector material. Nowadays, the quality of cable connector materials varies greatly. However, to ensure the quality of the cable connector, it is recommended not to be tempted by low prices. It is best to choose the materials from reliable cable connector manufacturers.
2. It is best not to perform cable connections on rainy days, as water entering the cables can seriously affect their service life. In severe cases, it may even lead to short circuit accidents.
3. Before manufacturing the waterproof connector for the cable, it is essential to carefully read the product manual provided by the manufacturer. This is particularly important for cables with a voltage of 10kV and above. Before proceeding, make sure to plan out all the procedures in advance.
4. For the terminal connectors of single-core armored cables above 10kV, it is strictly prohibited to ground both the steel tape at both ends.
5. When pressing the copper tube, do not apply excessive force. Just ensure that it is properly pressed in place. After the pressing, there will inevitably be many raised points on the copper end face. These must be filed smooth using a file, and no burrs should be left.
6. When using a blowtorch for the heat shrink cable connector, be sure to move the blowtorch back and forth. Do not keep spraying in the same direction continuously.
7. The size of the cold shrink cable connector must be strictly followed according to the drawings. Especially when removing the support objects from the reserved tube, one must be extremely careful.
