Power Termination Procedure
(AI365 Rev 5 – 01Mar16)
CP / CR PROCEDURE
1)
Terminate the cable into the Exd cable gland as per the
manufacturer’s instructions. Consider at this stage the
relative position of the phases.
2)
Cut the conductors to the lengths shown.
(For earth conductors which are being terminated to the
earth ring (see step 6) but not carried through the
contact, cut back X = 100mm for all sizes, see 10 - 13)
3)
Strip back the insulation as shown. (For all earth
conductors terminated via the internal earth ring, cut
back the insulation flush with the gland entry thread, see
10 - 13).
4)
Unscrew the rear engaging nut from the CP / CR shell.
Remove the rear shell, spacer tube and insert from the
CP / CR shell.
5)
a)
CONTACT SIZES 50 - 240mm²
.
Remove the screws from the front of the contacts
only and push the crimp lugs out of the insert.
b)
CONTACT SIZES 300 – 630mm²
.
Remove the screw from the plastic housing and
remove the contact from inside.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Hawke International does not recommend the use of their Power Connectors in applications where rigid PVC / SWA / PVC
power cabling (typically to BS 6346 standards) is used in portable / semi-portable applications.
In addition, Hawke recommends that barrier type glands are fitted to flexible power and loose filled control cabling entering the
connectors to maintain the Exd protection concept and to reduce the potential for core movements within the cable being
transferred to the connector’s internal components.
