- loadbreak side 200A
- 15/25kV
- ANSI/IEEE Std 386
- ANSI C119.4
Overview
The R-800 combines a 600A elbow and 200A tap plug into one innovative factory-molded design. Integration eliminates contamination risks during installation and reduces cross-threading hazards while remaining compatible with other manufacturers' components. It delivers cost savings over assembling separate components in the field.
