Ilsco CSWS-3/0-14 3/0 Kcmil Compression Connector

Product Description

The ILSCO CSWS-3/0-14 is a compression connector rated for 3/0 KCMIL conductor installations. Compression connectors in this class are used to create secure, low-resistance terminations on copper or aluminum conductors in electrical distribution systems. The connection is made using a hydraulic or ratchet compression tool, which deforms the connector barrel around the conductor to form a gas-tight mechanical and electrical bond. Licensed electricians and utility linemen install this type of fitting in service entrances, switchgear, panel feeders, and similar high-ampacity applications where a reliable, code-compliant termination is required.

This connector is suited for residential and commercial electrical work where 3/0 KCMIL conductors are run to main panels, sub-panels, or distribution equipment. It is appropriate for use in conduit, cable tray, and direct-burial installations depending on the outer jacket and insulation system in use. Installers working on feeder circuits, metering enclosures, and service entrance equipment commonly specify compression connectors of this size and type.

Key Features

• Rated for 3/0 KCMIL conductor size for high-ampacity feeder and service applications
• Compression-style installation creates a gas-tight, low-resistance electrical bond
• Compatible with standard hydraulic and ratchet compression tooling used in the trade
• Designed for use in electrical distribution, service entrance, and panel termination work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression connector for use with 3/0 KCMIL conductors in residential and commercial electrical distribution installations. No specific compatible model numbers or system families were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any terminations. Use a calibrated hydraulic or ratchet compression tool matched to the connector die size specified by the manufacturer. Inspect the completed crimp for full compression and proper die index marks before energizing.
