MICON ORDERING DATA |
All of the Dossert MICON connectors are furnished, unless otherwise specified, with #63
size outlets as standard connector units. There are also available outlet sizes #88 and
#112 which permit use of larger cable sizes in the outlet positions. The following Table
1. shows the outlet size number, with the corresponding range of specific cable sizes and
the receptacle stud mounting thread size.
TABLE 1.
| Outlet Size Number | Range of specific Cable Sizes Handled by Outlet |
Stud Mounting Thread Size | |
| MIN | MAX. | ||
| 63 | #6 Str. | 600 MCM | 5/8 - 18 NF2 |
| 88 | #6 Str. | 1000 MCM | 7/8 - 14 NF2 |
| 112 | 1250 MCM | 2000 MCM | 1-1/8 - 12 NF2 |
Outlet sizes larger than #63 may be used to advantage in meeting higher load conditions
for present installations or for the planning of higher loads on future installations. The
following Table 2. shows the available outlet sizes and their positions for the various
ampere capacity MICONS.
TABLE 2.
| MICON Current Rating Amperes | Positions A and/ or R |
Positions All Remaining |
| 1500 | #63 or #88 | #63 |
| 2000 | #63 or #88, or #112 | #63 or #88 |
| 2500 | #63 or #88, or #112 | #63 or #88, or #112 |
| 3000 | #63 or #88, or #112 | #63 or #88, or #112 |
For making proper selection of a MICON connector requiring a cable outlet
connection larger than 600 MCM the following steps should be followed:
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTORS
(A.) Choose the desired catalog number from the MICONS shown on pages
UG-16 to UG-19.
(B.) Using Table 1. select the outlet size number required for the size
cable employed.
(C.) Using Table 2. determine the available outlet positions for cables
larger than 600 MCM.
(D.) Specify your MICON connector by the following order example:
Assume that an 8 outlet MICON connector in type MCI for 2000 ampere current rating is
required. This would call for catalog number MCD 200-8. Let it further be assumed that
cable sizes will be required for outlets in accordance with the following schedule:
| Outlet Position | Cable Size |
| A | 1500 MCM |
| B | 750 MCM |
| C | 800 MCM |
| R | 750 MCM |
ORDER FOR TYPE MCD SHOULD BE WRITTEN:
Outlet Positions |
Outlet Size |
|
| MCD 200-8 | A | #112 |
| B,C,R | #88 | |
| Remaining Outlets | #63 |
The wide overlapping of conductor sizes for outlet sizes # and #88 permits
one to use a #88 outlet with any cable size within the range of the #63 outlet. As future
load requirements necessitate
larger cables one can connect to the #88 outlet cable sizes from our 600 MCM to 1000 MCM
inclusive. Where no future expansion of load requirements is anticipated it is most
economical to select the Y63 outlet.
For all MICONS and insulating accessories MYPAR insulation is used as standard procedure.
To specify MYPRENE insulation add the suffix "-N" to the catalog number of any
part for which MYPRENE insulation is desired.
