POLARIS IPLD500-3B Three-Port Multitap

The POLARIS IPLD500-3B is an insulated multitap connector designed for electrical distribution with three ports. It accepts stranded copper or aluminum conductors ranging from 4 AWG up to 500 kcmil. The connector body is aluminium with a black plastisol finish providing insulation. It is rated for 600 V maximum voltage and carries cULus and UL 486A listings.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The connector operates continuously at temperatures up to 194 degrees Fahrenheit. The plastisol insulation maintains its dielectric properties under prolonged thermal stress at the rated 600 V. Hex-head set screws secure each conductor with a 5/16 inch drive, resisting loosening from thermal cycling. The aluminium body conducts heat away from the joint area during extended high-current periods.

Build Quality and Daily Use

The single-piece aluminium body with plastisol coating eliminates the need for separate taping or heat-shrink after installation. Three ports allow one incoming feed to be split to two outgoing circuits without additional junction boxes. The hex drive enables torque-controlled tightening using standard tools. RoHS compliance confirms restricted substance limits for regulated environments.

Questions about this item

How much heat can the 194 °F rated connector handle when running at full load all day?

The Plastisol insulation is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 194 °F, so it will remain stable under continuous full-load conditions.

Which conductor sizes and tools are required to terminate the three ports?

Each port accepts stranded copper from 4 AWG up to 500 kcmil and is tightened with a 5/16 in hex driver.

Will the 600 V, cULus listed connector work safely alongside older 600 V aluminium bus bars?

Yes, it is rated 600 V, cULus listed to UL 486A and approved for both aluminium and copper conductors, making it compatible with existing 600 V aluminium bus bars.
