Tests: Type tests are carried out under water, under vacuum and with halogen leak tests at 100kPa. Routine leak tests are made using halogen leak tests at 100 kPa as <10W (10-4 bar.mLS-1).

ELECTRICAL
Through current withstand. Link boxes are generally tested to 50KArms but alternative withstand can be provided. Voltage Withstand Cross Bonding Link Boxes Insulation is 60kVimpulse phase to phase and 40kVimpulse phaseto-earth. For link boxes fitted with SVL arresters refer to technical data sheet for more information. Solid Earthing Link Boxes These boxes are 25kVdc phase-tophase and phase-to-earth. Routine Test: 25kVdc between-phases and phase-to-earth for 5 minutes. Contact Resistance. The link box terminal to the link and to the cable termination are 5 W.

DESIGN OF LINK BOXES

Current Production Covers: Link boxes of all types for both single core bonding cables and concentric bonding cables. Cross bonding link boxes, solid earthing link boxes and earthing through SVL arresters, and combinations of these. We also provide Link Boxes to our customers specific requirement

Price and delivery is by quotation and depends on the construction requested and modifications or special features. When requesting a quotation please include: Maximum value and duration of system fault current. Whether pit/vault or structure mounted. Cable size of bonding and earth cables. If cross bonding or SVL earthing boxes, the maximum power frequency voltage that will occur at the point of installation during a system fault. Any special requirements modifications required.
