These accessories are available. Contact your Eaton
representative for additional information.
Control cable
The control cable consists of two separate wire sizes
pending the distance from the Form 6 recloser control
to the selected Eaton Cooper Power series recloser. The
control cable is fabricated with a connector on one end
and pigtailed on the other. The connector is mated to
the recloser receptacle on one end and hardwired to the
control on the other end. Refer to Table3 in the Recloser
Connection/Control Cable section of this manual for
available control cable lengths.
Recloser interface junction box
The recloser interface junction box (mounted on a recloser
substation frame) facilitates customer wiring from the
recloser to the control. The junction box is required when
the distance between the recloser and control exceeds the
maximum available control cable length for the KA85ME
control cable (Table3).
There are two types of junction boxes available:

KME6-1811 The recloser interface junction box cable is
factory-hardwired between the recloser and the junction
box. Refer to Figure21, Figure22, and Figure25.

KME6-1859 The recloser interface junction box cable
disconnects at both ends. The junction box has a male
receptacle that enables connection between the recloser
and the junction box with existing control cables from
other Eaton Cooper Power series controls (Form 3A,
Form 4C, etc.). Refer to Figure23, Figure24, and
Figure26.
The junction box is mounted on the substation frame based
upon the mounting dimensions in Figure21 or Figure23.
The junction box cabinet includes multiple diameter holes
for sealing grip connections to hardwire to the control.
A recloser interface junction box cable connects from
the junction box to the recloser (Figure22 or Figure24).
Refer to Figure25 or Figure26 for control-to-junction
box customer connection diagrams. Refer to Table10 for
control-to-junction box cable requirements.
