Parallel screened separable connector
for cable with copper tape screen, 630 A
CSEP-A 12–42 kV

Application area
CSEP-A is a screened separable parallel connector designed
to be connected to a screened separable connector type
CSE-A 630. Used with XLPE- and EPR-insulated 1- or 3-core 2
12–36 kV cables, with Al- or Cu-conductors with copper tape
screens, with or without aluminium or steel wire armouring.

Standard
− Fulfills the requirements of CENELEC HD 629.1 S2.

Design
CSEP-A is manufactured in rubber with three layers; a
conductive inner layer, an insulation layer and a conductive outer
Dimensions in mm.
layer that are vulcanized together for the best possible interface
between the layers. 100 9 81 min 85

When installing CSEP-A on the CSE-A, the plug and the

protective cap must be moved from CSE-A to the parallel
72
connector CSEP-A. In that way the capacitive test point is
re-established. 256

− Delivered in 3-phase kits complete with cable lugs, bolt

connections, stress grading adapters and also an integrated CSEP-A, 12–24 kV sizes 1–2
earthing wire.

Note:
− For 3-core cables with common Cu-tape screen, a screen
separation kit or a branch seal kit must be used. See table 90

at page 3/45. 314

Always select products by cable insulation diameter.

Surge arresters for 630 A separable connector
CSAP-A 6–24 kV

Application area
CSAP-A is a screened separable surge arrester designed
to be connected in parallel with screened separable
cable connector type CSE-A 630 A. 2
− Protects electrical components against overvoltage
and transients.

Standard
− Fulfills the requirements of IEC 60099-4.
− Parallel connection of surge arrester CSAP-A connected to
cable connector CSE-A meets the requirements according
to standard CENELEC HD 629.1 S2.
Dimensions in mm.
Design
CSAP-A includes a premolded body, manufactured in three
layers; a conductive inner layer, an insulation layer and a 9 mm

conductive outer layer vulcanized together for the best
possible interface between the layers.

The surge arrester’s active part is made of metal oxide. 90

The connected earth braid manages short circuit currents
according to the standard. 266

When installing CSAP-A on the CSE-A 630, the plug and

the protective cap must be moved from CSE-A to the surge
arrester CSAP-A. In that way the capacitive test point is
re-established. CSAP-A sizes 12/5 and 12/10
