K480TB/G-S-OW-X+MWS-VD is a configurable separable tee connector (bolted type, Interface C) from Nexans Euromold (part of the Nexans Group), a leading manufacturer of medium/high-voltage (MV-HV) cable accessories. This is a specialized electrical component used in power distribution systems, not low-voltage residential/track lighting (despite the similar-looking "K480TB" codes in some unrelated products).

It is designed for terminating or connecting polymeric insulated (XLPE/EPR) MV-HV cables (typically 11kV to 42kV, up to 24kV in many configs) to equipment bushings (e.g., on transformers, switchgear, or motors). The tee shape allows branching or connecting cable-to-cable/cable-to-bushing in indoor or outdoor applications.

Breakdown of the Part Number

• K480TB/G — Base model: Compact bolted tee connector (Interface C per CENELEC HD 629.1), EPDM rubber insulation, for copper wire screened cables with extruded semi-conductive screen. "K" often denotes a specific kit/version (e.g., pre-molded or with certain accessories); "/G" indicates grounding/screen connection features.
• -S — Likely denotes a specific conductor size range, screen type, or special configuration (common in Euromold nomenclature for stranded conductors or sizing).
• -OW-X — This appears to be a custom or regional suffix for outer sheath treatment, water sealing, or kit options (e.g., "OW" for outdoor/waterproof variant, "X" for extended or specific adapter).
• +MWS-VD — Key add-ons:
  • MWS — Water Sealing Mastic (additional mastic for outdoor use to provide extra sealing against moisture ingress).
  • -VD — Voltage Detection point (often a capacitive test point for voltage indication/safety checks).

This full configuration makes it suitable for outdoor installations where enhanced water protection and voltage monitoring are required.

Key Specifications

• Voltage Rating: Up to 24kV (common for this series; some extend to 33kV/42kV depending on exact kit).
• Current Rating: Typically 250–630A (depends on conductor size and bushing).
• Cable Compatibility: Polymeric insulated cables (XLPE/EPR), copper screened, stranded conductors (min/max cross-sections vary by kit, e.g., 19–32.6mm conductor diameter in some listings).
• Interface: Type C (compact bolted, per IEC/EN standards).
• Material: EPDM rubber for insulation, with conductive layers for screening.
• Features:
  • Fully screened and submersible (with MWS for outdoor).
  • Bolted connection for secure, tool-assisted installation.
  • Surge and fault protection in high-voltage environments.
  • Meets international standards (CENELEC HD 629.1, IEC, VDE).
• Applications: Medium/high-voltage power networks, substations, industrial plants, underground cable terminations, or connections in harsh/wet conditions.

New in package. Quantity: 1 tee connector out of a bulk box. Comes with one tee connector only.
