Did you know who are attending the Middle East Energy (MEE) Exhibition 2025, which is the biggest energy exhibition event in Dubai, with innovative electrical solutions. 

As the energy sector is developing rapidly, it is more important to provide safe and efficient power distribution. We are showcasing Chardon Groups’ loadbreak elbow product during the event this year in Dubai. 

This critical product is crucial in the functioning of medium voltage electrical systems, allowing for the safe Make-Break operation without needing to break the power supply. 

Understanding Loadbreak Elbows

A loadbreak elbow is an insulated high voltage connector which safely transfers the medium voltage cable from the electrical system to relevant equipment without having undesired outages in the entire network. 

For this reason, we are showcasing it at the MEE Exhibition Dubai to explore the range of cable accessories designed for modern electrical networks and to drive the understanding behind this important component for industries that require flexibility in their power systems.

How Does a Loadbreak Elbow Work?

The loadbreak elbow function enables safe disconnection when the system is energized. Here’s how it works:

  1. Connection – This product connects medium - voltage cables to electrical equipment safely.
  2.  Arc Suppression – It has a mechanism that safely extinguishes electrical arc, when disconnecting under load.
  3. Spring-Loaded Contact – It has a built-in spring mechanism that controls the disconnection speed, reducing electrical stress and wear.
  4. Safe Manual Operation – Using a hot stick, the elbow can be safely engaged or disengaged by operators while the system remains energized.

Key Features of Loadbreak Elbows

  1. Enhanced Safety: Stops electrical defects while drycleaning.
  2. Long-Lasting Performance: Criteria ensure long-lasting performance even in tough conditions.
  3. Easy to Install: Interconnect cords with simple plug in only.
  4. Compact and Versatile: When operating in different electrical connectors and configurations
  5. Widely Compatible: Applicable in various medium voltage elbow applications for industrial, utility, and commercial building use.
