Thomas & Betts 161SOP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Thomas & Betts 161SOP stand off plug used for?
The 161SOP is a 15kV loadbreak parking bushing, also called a stand off plug. It gives a de-energized loadbreak elbow somewhere to park on a pad-mounted transformer or switchgear enclosure instead of hanging loose, and it insulates and seals the elbow interface while it sits off-line. It is sold individually, one plug per order.
2) What voltage class is the 161SOP parking bushing rated for?
It is a 15kV class device. If your system is 25kV or 35kV class, the 161SOP is the wrong part and you need a parking bushing in that higher class.
3) What material is the 161SOP stand off plug made from?
EPDM rubber. That is the standard elastomer for medium-voltage loadbreak accessories because it holds its sealing memory outdoors and resists ozone and weathering in a pad-mounted enclosure.
4) What part number do I order for the Thomas & Betts 15kV stand off plug, and do I get more than one?
Order manufacturer part number 161SOP from Thomas & Betts. It ships as a single plug, so if you are parking elbows on a three-phase transformer you need three.
5) Is the 161SOP made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the 161SOP is the United States, which matters if you are buying under domestic-preference procurement rules for a utility or municipal job.
6) Where can I get the spec sheet for the 161SOP?
Thomas & Betts publishes a PDF spec sheet for the 161SOP, available at https://media.distributordatasolutions.com/ThomasAndBetts/2018q3/2c0496f6a5a3583f84430d55c7d83c31313711cb.pdf. Use it to confirm the bushing interface and mounting detail against your enclosure before install.
