Amphenol R24-CMP-M-W R24 Cable Mounted Plug

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

DESCRIPTION & DESIGN FEATURES

Applications
R49 & R24 series connectors can be used wherever a high amperage connection of AC or DC power is required. Typical applications are the connection of power from generator sets to Switchgear or SCR houses. Traction motors, mud pumps, draw works, rotary tables, cement pumps and top drives.

Electrical Integrity
R49 & R24 series connectors are designed to run at full rated load and complement the latest drilling cable electrical ratings.

Operator Safety
The inherent design of the connectors is such that the electrical contacts are shrouded by the Rubber insulations and the male ( power side ) has a dead front end to protect operators from shock hazards. Connectors are rated at @1000 VAC or DC with the ability to withstand intermittent surges up to 1300 amps.

Phase Identification
Connectors are color-coded to provide easy circuit identification. Coloured insulations for both AC and DC circuits. Colour coding prevents reverse phasing or cross-polarization of DC circuits. Receptacle housings are also colour-coded to further assist in the identification of phases.

INGRESS PROTECTION
Connectors are designed to provide weatherproof service in a variety of demanding environments. The insulations are resistant to oil, mud, seawater and petroleum products found in the drilling industry. Correctly assembled, the connectors provide safe, trouble-free operation in the most extreme working conditions. Certified by CSA.

CONFIGURATIONS
R49 & R24 series connectors are available in all configurations male and female connectors. Typical configurations are shown below:

Amphenol-R24-CMP-M-W-R24-Cable-Mounted-Plug-fig-2

Termination
The termination method is crimp on cable-mounted plugs and receptacles and bus bar termination is provided on panel-mounted receptacles. The rubber insulations can be bonded to the cables by vulcanization. Vulcanizers are available on request.

Type P Cables
R49 & R24 series connectors are designed to work in conjunction with the latest generation of Type P drilling cables, per IEEE 45. Cable accommodations are 4/0 AWG (107mm2) to 777 MCM (394mm2)

Mounting Data
R49 & R24 Series connectors are designed specifically with the requirements of the drilling industry in mind. A space-saving design allows the mounting of receptacles in very close proximity to each other. This allows operators to reduce the overall space requirement on switch gear and SCR drives. See ‘Assembly Instructions’ for mounting dimensions

Temperature Ratings
The connectors are designed to operate in both extremes of cold and high- temperature applications. The Insulations are designed to withstand the very low temperatures found in Artic conditions, in addition to being able to run at full rated load in high ambient temperatures.

Installation
The simple design of the R49 & R24 series, allows the connectors to be mated and unmated without the use of tools.

MATERIALS
Receptacle Housings: Oil, Alkaline, UV, and weather-resistant, Color coded polyester TGIC powder coating over copper-free aluminum alloy
