Make solar project compression connections reliable and inspectable
The next generation compression insulation piercing connector (YIPC) from Burndy delivers high performance with high value.
Get the brochureMeet the challenges of solar power head on
As demand for solar power grows, installations generating solar power are trending toward larger footprints and greater production capacity. However, scaling solar farm capacity also raises complexity. Costs associated with installation, operation, and maintenance increase. Field terrain and other factors can challenge photovoltaic module layouts, requiring flexibility for connecting these installations.
That’s why Burndy® created the compression flexible trunk solution (CFTS).
The new compression IPC changes everything
The cULus Listed wire connector design meets the solar standards requirements for electrical, mechanical, and environmental performance. This trunk bus solution combines the functionality of insulation piercing technology with the Burndy Engineered System.
Why solar farms need the compression IPC
The compression flexible trunk solution, featuring the unique compression insulating piercing connector, delivers efficient and cost-effective installation therefore reducing your total costs while increasing safety and reliability. The savings scale with the size of your project.
Flexible, efficient, and cost-effective installation
The flexible connection design installs anywhere you need it along the main/trunk conductor. Multi-tap ports reduce the total number of connections required, lowering your costs.
Inspection and validation
Die embossing the bus size on the trunk bus cable insulation provides easy inspection. The T3 (track, trace, and transmit) data technology in the compression tool validates proper field installation and records the geographic location of each connection.
Connection protection
Full perimeter gel seal makes the cover raintight, per UL 486D Sequence E. Strain relief protects the connection from stress and damage, helps maintain the seal, and secures the wires.
