How to Install Elastimold 273RLR/274RLR Loadbreak Replacement Elbow Connectors

Install Elastimold 273RLR/274RLR Loadbreak Replacement Elbow Connectors to convert a livefront termination to deadfront for UD cable. This guide covers cable preparation, lug installation, elbow assembly, neutral connection, and final connection to a bushing.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Probe wrench, Wire brush, Crimping tool, Hotstick, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

Replacement elbow connector housing, Compression lug, Probe, Lubricant, Hose clamp, Copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm), Test point cap (for 274RLR), Silicone grease

  1. De-energize Apparatus and Remove Livefront Termination

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Remove the rubber cap from the terminator. Cut off the connector at the top of the terminator. Disconnect the ground lead from the base of the terminator. Remove the terminator housing from the cable.

  2. Prepare the Cable

    Train cables to be straight and in-line with the bushing centerline. Cut the cable to 10-1/2 inches from the bushing centerline. Remove 1-3/8 inches of cable insulation from the end, cutting squarely and without nicking the conductor.

  3. Install the Compression Lug

    Wire brush the bare aluminum conductor. Immediately install the compression lug, rotating it to spread inhibitor. Position the lug so the contact threaded hole aligns with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug according to the crimp chart, starting at the crimp line mark and rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe excessive inhibitor from the outside of the lug and cable.

  4. Assemble the Elbow Housing

    Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the supplied lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable using a back and forth twisting motion. Wipe off all excess grease. Align the elbow with the compression lug's threaded hole. Thread the probe into the lug by hand, ensuring it turns freely for approximately four turns before becoming snug. Tighten the probe with the supplied wrench until the wrench bends.

  5. Connect the Concentric Neutral

    Insert one end of a separate copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm or equivalent) through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist tightly. Twist all neutral wires and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector, providing adequate slack for elbow operation. Add the supplied hose clamp as shown and tighten snugly, but do not overtighten.

  6. Connect the Elbow to the Bushing Plug (Loadmake Operation)

    Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing with the supplied lubricant ONLY IF THE TRANSFORMER AND ELBOW ARE KNOWN TO BE DE-ENERGIZED. Securely fasten a hotstick to the loadbreak connector pulling eye. Place the elbow connector receptacle over the bushing plug, inserting the elbow male contact until the first slight resistance is felt. Immediately push the elbow home with a fast, firm, straight motion to engage the internal lock.

  7. Perform Voltage Test (274RLR ONLY)

    Remove the test point cap with a hotstick, peeling it off at an angle. WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device; it is not directly connected to the conductor. Use a suitable sensing device made for capacitive test points to determine if the cable is energized. Treat the elbow as energized until the 'no voltage' test point indication is confirmed by other means. After testing, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone grease and replace it on the test point.

  8. Loadbreak Operation (Optional)

    To disconnect, firmly tighten a hotstick to the loadbreak connector pulling eye. Slightly rotate the connector clockwise to break surface friction. Withdraw the connector from the bushing with a fast, firm, straight motion, being careful not to place the connector near a ground plane. Place the connector on an appropriate accessory device.
