MVC 15KV
Amphenol Industrial Global Operations (AIGO) offers many
products and solutions for the mining market. When looking
for the best interconnect for the job, AIGO’s MVC 15KV cable
coupler with “Rapid-Couple
®
” technology will not leave you
guessing. A hazardous industry by its very nature, mine sites
must rely heavily on electrical equipment. The safe and reliable
transfer of electricity throughout a site is a significant concern.
The MVC 15KV incorporates patented RADSOK
®
contact
technology for higher amperage (20% greater than a standard
contact), lower T-rise, less resistance and reduced mating
forces.
Engineered to Amphenol’s high standards for ruggedness and
reliability there is no field condition in the world that can impede
the MVC. Our Rapid-Couple
®
interlock method makes for
quick and easy mating and unmating. This provides for positive
mating and secure fitting covers that repel water and soil while
keeping the contacts uncontaminated. The MVC 15KV coupler
has been remarkably designed with a wide range of features
and benefits that makes this the coupler of choice for the
mining industry and other markets.
Features:
• Up to 600 Amps
• Cast aluminum housing standard, other materials available
• Bolt-on strain relief backend eliminates external threads
• Contact Termination: Solder
• Self-aligning housings
• All parts are replaceable, including contacts, and can be
serviced easily in the field, equaling less downtime for repairs
• Rapid-Couple mating technology
• Incorporates patented RADSOK
®
contact technology
leading to 20% more current in the same size contact, while
reducing mating forces
• Medially-located grounded surface running through
mounting plate
• Fire retardant insulators
• Weatherproof covers
• Industry-wide compatibility
• Coupler mating is a one person operation without the need
for expensive tools or closing mechanisms

The Amphenol MVC 15KV coupler has a standard contact arrangement containing three insulated phase contacts, one ground contact,
and one isolated ground check (pilot contact). Please consult the factory for other contact configurations.
