General
Rated voltage	15 kV

The product is a high-voltage cable from the brand Chauvin Arnoux, specifically designed for measurement and testing purposes in the field of high-voltage technology. It is an HT crocodile protection cable with a rated voltage of 15 kV, finished in black and with a length of 8 metres. The cable is equipped with an insulated high-voltage crocodile clamp, permanently attached to the cable, ensuring a safe and reliable connection at high voltages. The rear connection allows for easy integration into existing measurement systems and testing equipment. The cable construction is designed for use in environments with increased safety requirements, particularly for testing high-voltage installations, transformers, or other electrical devices operated at high voltages.

Applications

The cable is primarily intended for use in electrical engineering and high-voltage testing. It is used to establish safe and reliable electrical connections at voltages up to 15 kV, for example, during testing of insulating materials, functional and safety tests on high-voltage equipment, or resistance measurements. The insulated crocodile clamp protects the operator from unintended contact with conductive parts and reduces the risk of electric shock. The 8-metre length provides sufficient mobility when working on larger installations or in hard-to-reach areas.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The cable features an insulated high-voltage crocodile clamp directly attached to the cable end and cannot be removed. This design ensures a stable and secure connection without requiring additional adapters or connectors. The clamp is designed for use at high voltages and provides sufficient insulation to ensure operator safety. The rear connection at the other end of the cable allows for easy connection to measurement devices or testing equipment equipped with a corresponding input. The black colour aids in better identification during use and is typical for high-voltage cables in professional applications.

Technology Explained Simply

The term HT crocodile protection cable refers to high-voltage technology (HT = High Tension) and the integrated crocodile clamp with protective function. The insulation of the clamp prevents direct contact with conductive parts, which is especially critical at high voltages. The fixed connection between cable and clamp prevents accidental detachment or loss during work. The rated voltage of 15 kV defines the maximum voltage at which the cable can be safely operated. The 8-metre length provides sufficient flexibility for various application scenarios without requiring additional extensions.

Compatibility and Accessories

The cable is designed for use with measurement devices and testing equipment that feature a rear connection for high-voltage cables. It is specifically designed for applications in high-voltage testing and can be combined with other high-voltage cables or accessories from Chauvin Arnoux, provided the electrical and mechanical requirements are compatible. Use with devices not designed for high voltage is not intended and may result in damage or hazards.

Installation and Mounting

Installation is performed by simply connecting the crocodile clamp to the conductor or contact to be tested or measured. The clamp is permanently attached to the cable, so no additional fastening elements or tools are required. The rear connection is attached to the measurement device. Installation requires no additional tools, but safety regulations for high-voltage work must be strictly observed. The cable construction does not require special mounting equipment.

Operational Advantages

The cable provides a safe and reliable connection for high-voltage applications. The integrated insulated crocodile clamp reduces the risk of electric shock and enables quick and easy connection. The 8-metre length offers flexibility when working on larger installations. The fixed connection between cable and clamp prevents accidental detachment, enhancing work safety. The black colour facilitates identification during use, especially in environments with multiple cables of different functions.
