Pfisterer HV Test Plug Size 2. Available for hire from Megavar for high voltage cable testing and connection applications across Australian networks.
Description
The Pfisterer Test and Transition Connector (Size 2) is a high-performance separable inner cone connector designed for terminating high-voltage single-core cables with copper wire screens. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cable terminations, with or without voltage taps. Its 45° angled construction allows for flexible installation, especially in confined or awkward spaces. The plug functions as both a transitional interface—connecting transformers equipped with CONNEX bushings to blank (overhead) lines—and as a testing access point for electrical diagnostics in CONNEX-equipped systems. With its robust design and tested dielectric strength, it is ideal for use in substations, HV test fields, and utility maintenance applications.
